LIFE, DEATH AND CLOWNING AROUND?
Dani Moonstar, Karma and Galura end up tracking the young New Mutants down at Count Nefaria's mansion, just to enter a scene of pure mayhem. A throwdown between a depowered Gabby and a murderous Count Nefaria, Cerebella trapped inside the Count's secret vault of treasures and horrors and a drunk Escapade (she'll never touch grappa again!) going blow for blow against Skullbuster - looks like the supposed "covert" heist has turned into a circus. Meanwhile, Wolfsbane and Morgan's beastly encounter turns into a moment of discovery.
Rated T+
New Mutants: Lethal Legion #3 has a clear message that it wants to impart, and that's commendable. However, the message is almost too clear, as one character verbalizes it point-blank to another in the middle of this issue. Read Full Review
This is a lot of fun if you aren't miserable.

MY PHYSICAL COLLECTION (FOR SHOWING OFF): https://psycamorean.libib.com/
I feel like I'm rooting for a juggler struggling to keep too many balls in the air.
There are ideas and characters and moments and lines in here that I love so much they make my heart ache. But there's just too much, and it's all wired haphazardly onto a very basic "steal a MacGuffin from a baddie" plot that can't support it.
My feelings toward the art are shockingly similar. I love the idiosyncratic pinched-head style, and there are certain panels I would frame. But the layouts are often clumsy and ill-proportioned and clarity is in short supply.
So my rating lands just above average, but I wouldn't reach for the usual adjectives like "forgettable" or "mediocre." This is more of a glorious failure of a stor more
The writer really wants to write the new characters but is shoehorning in the New Mutants. Just call it The Lost Club: Lethal Legion and see how sales are maybe.
