We finally get an explanation for what's been happening. I mean, nothing much that I didn't already know, but I guess it's nice to have it laid out somewhat. Hopefully, this story gets more interesting with T'Challa regaining his memories. The pacing of this story is probably it's biggest issue. Something that Coates clearly struggles with as a writer. But this story is so out there and wrapped up in itself that it's sometimes hard to maintain interest. more

Seriously thinking about giving up on this series. Very confusing, many different characters and I have know idea who is who or where they came from, or where they are going. Just hope they get out of space as soon as possible.

Getting a little too heavy on the space battles here, but I still think it’s kinda cool.

I missed the plot here, I think. I hope this title gets back on track after a few messy issues.

Decent writing, mediocre art.
Redeemed only by the presence of some of Marvel’s most underrated characters, like Spectrum and Hellstrom

The typical pretentious story that many comic book fans and critics will find deep and profound, because they probably never took a philosophy class in high school or college.
Hickman can be a great writer but he can easily sacrifice character to plot or high concepts. Witness his disastrous New Avengers run which turned the Avengers/Illuminati into genocidal destroyers of worlds.
Something similar happens in this issue with the mutants carrying out a barbaric ritual called “The Crucible”. It’s incredible to think that any of the X Men would participate or endorse this Lord of the Flies type of thing, especially Cannonball. But oh, the writer wants to be provocative. more

Disregard the naysayers as this issue and the next are a significant improvement over what came before.
While some critics liked Hickman’s “space comedy” I thought it was disjointed and pointless. This issue is definitely discreet but it shows Ed Brisson taking the reins and setting up future stories.
There is a sense of drama and danger, as happens with the next issue when the team faces a reality threatening “New Mutant”.
I was ready to give up on this series, but 8 and 9 make me look forward to what’s coming. more

Plot really slow and barely progresses. Lack of storm and Iceman mourning Kitty

So we have Storm and Iceman who is true friends with Kate, but only see an out of nowhere Emma Frost caring? we only see the POV of a rich white woman then huh

This book is just not for me. It's boring and the characters are all the same. Everyone wants to be the funny one. Really sucks

Mediocre series inexplicably overrated by “critics”. Just note the difference all issues between critics ratings and user ratings.

An absolute waste of time and money. This had been a Roberto Da Costa comic more than a New Mutants comic. Also the series has tried to be comical and meta from the beginning, but fails miserably on both counts.
The alternate Ed Brisson story with Boom Boom and Armor was equally mediocre. Inexplicable.

A series without a reason to exist. Pointless in every possible way, unless you are a big fan of Beak.

Totally inconsequential. Probably the most mediocre story I have read from super talented Ed Brissom.Skip

THE GOOD:

-This was the best issue in a while. I loved it.

-The guest artists felt appropriate here. Usually they're unwelcome with this series, but I don't think anything demanded Bennett's wonderful artwork, and they helped the juxtaposition.

-The story with the security guard was just great.

-Al Ewing may be one of the best writers working now. It's hard to think of anyone else whose script is so impressive.

-I was totally off base with Dario Agger. He is just such a unique, interesting villain.

-I'm not at all familiar with the Teen Brigade, but I really liked th execution here.

-The last page of the guard's story was so damn good. Not to mention, the next panel was super effective.

-I'm really interested in where this is going.

THE BAD:

-I got nothing. Perfect issue right there. more

THE GOOD:

-Reads like a classic creature feature. So much fun.

-Joe Bennett's art continues to amaze.

-Dario Agger is such an amazing villain. I regret having any doubts about him. I'm also really interested in his plan here.

-That scene with Leonard and Betty was great.

-Jackie is a really good character.

THE BAD:

-I don't know. I didn't love this issue a whole lot, but there's nothing really wrong with it. Maybe I'm just comparing it to issues like New Mutants #5 and X-Force #5 this week that were so amazing, and absolutely deserving of the perfect rating. I don't know. I'll give it a 9. more

Great as always. Just the way Ewing lays it out. One of my favorite reads every time! But it's Bennett's pencils along with Jose's inks and Mounts colors that make it as great as it is. The art team greatly delivers intimate moments along with ridiculous splash pages!

The action began to ramp up in this issue as we see the Hulk take on one of the monsters, while also making sense of the Minotaur's plan. Also, we get to see more of Hulk's plan unfold through the eyes of his friends, Betty and Samson. There were some epic visuals, due to a fantastic job from artist Joe Benett, who always brings consistency and a presence of horror to the book. In the final panel, Ewing does a great job of setting up what is going to come in the next issue. 9/10. more

THE GOOD:

-This was a perfect issue.

-Joe Bennett's art is so phenomenal.

-It's nice to see such a visually oriented series accentuated by such unique and compelling characters.

-This is probably the best body horror comic ever produced.

-This was really exhilarating issue. I didn't realize I had been holding my breath until it ended. />
-Dario Agger is such a great villain.

-I was still surprised at how Agger managed to frame the Hulk, even though I knew it was coming.

-I can't wait to see what happens next.

THE BAD:

-Nothing. Again, perfect issue. more
