STRONG AND FREE!
Don't miss this momentous event as legendary creators CHRIS CLAREMONT and BILL SIENKIEWICZ reunite with Magik, Wolfsbane, Cannonball, Cypher, Mirage, Karma, and Sunspot to share this never before told story of the New Mutants' past! When Warlock experiences a nightmare, he begins going haywire, and it's up to his friends to save him! But as Warlock grows more frenzied, they should be worrying about being able to save themselves...and doubly so when Magik's inner demon, Darkchylde, threatens to break free! Also, a special guest appearance by none other than Kitty Pryde!
Rated T+
Bill Sienkiewicz drew this comic book. That's all you should need to know, but if you're still wondering then, yes, he still knows how to do that job better than almost anyone else who has ever tried. Read Full Review
A near-perfect time capsule featuring Claremont doing his Claremont thing and Sienkiewicz knocking it out of the park. This is a good one. Read Full Review
But pick it up, and if you love the tone and style, go treat yourself to the original Claremont/Sienkiewicz New Mutants run. Read Full Review
Claremont and Sienkiewicz prove that they're still one of the best creative teams in the game with "War Children". Read Full Review
For those rejoining X-Men during Hickmans relaunch, this tale gives X-enthusiasts a taste of the New Mutants while allowing them to take a test drive on the characters in the process. New readers will depart with plenty of questions and hopefully will have their curiosity in these new characters sparked. Older fans of Chris Claremonts NEW MUTANTS run will fall head over heels for this one-shot that probably felt like old times. Either way, this reviewer recommends picking this issue up, especially if you've had a recent resurgence in the mutant landscape of the Marvel Universe. Read Full Review
This is a must-read for New Mutants fans looking for a trip down memory lane. Read Full Review
The story was solid. Art fit the tone perfectly.
The lettering was amazing. Lettering can really add subtext to a story if done properly and this is an example of that.
The creators are leaning pretty hard on the nostalgia button. You can't call it all-time great without a lot of rosy hindsight -- but you can't call it less than good without an unhealthy dose of cynicism.
The best-case scenario is probably inspiring a new generation to read, say, the Demon Bear arc. Yes, youngins, Claremont and Sienkiewicz did this unique storytelling month after month for *years* back in the day.
The story was very nostalgic, if a bit light. The art was amazing. Surprisingly, this is one of the best New Mutants stories in the last 2 decades, which shows you how little Marvel has done with these characters
Wish it was the cover art inside the book
This was fine, if a bit outdated.
