New Mutants #15 takes place sometime after the events of Second Coming where Cyclops orders Sam Guthrie to gather the New Mutants to go on a vacation. Zeb Wells continues to write this series, but this time he is joined by Leonard Kirk. I definitely miss Diogene Neve's or Ibraim Roberson's art because Kirk's art is just okay. Nothing that he did here got me mesmerized. In my opinion, this issue and the Siege tie in issue featuring Dani Moonstar were my least favorites. The story did include an interesting set of demonic villains who are after Magik and her soulsword. At first I cared less about them when they were first introduced, but now I am interested in what will they do in future issues.
     The story was going fine until the abrupt ending where General Ulysses and his crew mistakenly find Pixie instead of Illyana. The ending was written badly in my opinion when the villains decide that Pixie's souldagger will do just fine compared to what they were actually after. They do not even give a reason why they are after these such weapons and I was left with a unclear understanding to what is their problem with Illyana.
