New Mutants as a series has long been in the background of my comic book reading existence. It’s only with the most recent arc that I decided to dip my toe in the pool and give it a go. And I’m extremely glad I did. This arc has been enormous fun. I couldn’t tell you who any of the team members are, but that doesn’t matter; the way this book presents itself, every page is pure enjoyment for me. This issue was brutal and powerful and original, while also remaining true to the previous issues of the arc. Zeb Wells has done a fantastic job with this series. In much the same way, Leonard Kirk’s art here is absolutely incredible; it reminds me of the days when he was on Captain Britain with Paul Cornell; it’s brilliant stuff to look at. I’m toying with whether to continue with this series beyond this arc; maybe this is all the New Mutants I’ll ever need to read. I don’t want to taint it. It’s been such a fun ride.
