If you're a fan of the original run of New Mutants, let yourself enjoy the nostalgia and pull out a big smile while getting together some characters that is delightful to see interact. Keep your expectations around there, and this issue is definitely for you! Read Full Review
The style may seem dated to newer readers, but anyone who knows the tone and style and maintains a taste for it will enjoy this slice of nostalgia. Read Full Review
X-Men Legends #11 was a poor representation of what this creative team can do. It didn't give the reader much to grasp and relate to. Ultimately, this issue only provided some background context to the older run of New Mutants this comic is based on. Read Full Review
I thought it was really fun seeing this era of New Mutants back in action even though I never read the title back in the day.
The script's too dense, the cast is too big, and the art's too rough. That said, there's a pretty solid story in here, and the scrupulous attention to the continuity of a bygone era has its charm.
But the visuals are particularly hard to get past. This surely would not be my exhibit A for arguing that Walter Simonson is great.
Unfortunately this one didn't do much for me.
This issue was... bad. From the writing, the art, to even the lettering, this issue felt like a fever dream. I know the characters, I know somewhat the context, but whatever I just read is really not cogent.
