New Mutants #25 Review

Tagged with: New MutantsNew Mutants #25

The next phase in the evolution of the New Mutants begins here. Today I will be reviewing New Mutants #25. Please leave a comment to let me know what you think.

So let’s talk about the book. The New Mutants, along with Wolverine and Colossus, attack an auto plant to destroy a piece of Nimrod technology that is trying to rebuild itself. After a quick battle against automated automobiles, the mutants are victorious. Meanwhile, Cyclops places Illyana under house arrest for almost destroying reality during the New Mutant’s last mission in Limbo. She accepts without a fight. Dani visits Sam who is leaving the team to recuperate from his Limbo and Age of X experiences. Later, Cyclops, to the surprise of Dani, assigns her as the new team leader and tasks her with tying up some loose ends from previous X-Men missions. The first of which is finding and retrieving Nate Grey AKA X-Man. Too bad he is tied to a machine, in the clutches of the Sugar Man. And that’s the book.

So let’s talk opinions. Wow. Now that was a full issue. Lots of things get addressed and touched upon. We tie up a bunch of loose ends as well as open the door to the future of this team. The respect that the writer is showing Dani is really high. Let’s face it. Even for a mutant with no powers, Dani is an expert tactician and combat fighter. Not the most indestructible of leaders but definitely someone worthy of leading. All in all, there were a lot of different topics touched upon. Illyana’s punishment was just and necessary, I think. She is, in some ways, just as powerful as Legion and needs to be monitored. I’m sure Marvel will find some big thing for her in the future to be a villain of. I love the sarcasm that is scattered throughout the book. Makes reading that much more enjoyable. I can’t wait to see Nate Grey back in the pages of a Marvel comic. How he hasn’t blasted the Sugar Man by now is beyond me, but I guess if he did, then we wouldn’t be having this upcoming arc. Should be interesting. Sugar Man has potential as a good villain but was never fully utilized in the past. The writers need to expand his power set if they plan on letting him physically take on the team. I’m sure it will be great. The art was nothing to scoff at either. Lots of big splashes including that amazing two pager with all of the X powerhouses ready to decimate Illyana if she even thinks of resisting. Plus that gate-fold cover is stunning. A great book.That’s my opinion folks. Take it or leave it.

New Mutants #24 Review

Tagged with: Age of X  New MutantsNew Mutants #24

Age of X comes to a conclusion. Today I will be reviewing New Mutants #24. Please leave a comment to let me know what you think.

So let’s talk about the book. The last battle for the lives of all mutants begin. On one front, all of the remaining mutants head to the battlefield to fight against hundred thousand to one odds. On the other, Magneto and Xavier fight Moira, a reality shaping piece of Legion’s fractured mind. The mutants put up a valiant effort but the numbers are just too many and slowly they begin to fall. Meanwhile, inside the fortress, Moira manages to overpower both of her attackers. Legion, however has had enough. He absorbs Moira back into his psyche and using his new-found powers, ends the battle once and for all. Then, he takes what’s left of the universe and returns it, and everyone else, back to our reality. Everyone’s true memories start to return slowly, especially with the help of the reawakened telepaths. And that’s the book.

So let’s talk opinions. So the end happened pretty much like I said in my Legacy #247 review. Legion regains control and warps reality to fix everything. Once again, a rehash of Age of Apocalypse. What a shame. Other than that, it actually was a great action filled issue. Lots of non-stop battle with all of our favorites getting their hands dirty. Wolverine popping his claws for a final fight was expected and I’m glad we saw it. One other thing that was made perfectly clear in this crossover is that Cannonball is an excellent field general. He has always been a good team leader but now I think he would make a great #2 man to Cyclops. Excellent tactician. I am also curious to see how the extra characters like Phoenix will be handled. Are they real now or do they just fade away? It might be fun to keep them around for a bit. As for the art, once again I was blown away. The sheer multitude of characters being drawn, and drawn well, was amazing. The fight scenes looked great and the last page splash of Legion was pretty cool and detailed. Overall, a very well done crossover. One last thing that I really appreciated was the Lewis Carol reference. It was an excellent touch. That’s my opinion folks. Take it or leave it.

New Mutants #23 Review

Tagged with: Age of X  New MutantsNew Mutants #23

The mystery behind Age of X continues to grow. Today I will be reviewing New Mutants #23. Please leave a comment to let me know what you think.

So let’s talk about the book. So it turns out Magneto did not kill Legacy, AKA Rogue, and Gambit. Instead, he hid them and sends them on a mission to reach the center of Fortress X to a room he doesn’t remember creating. While this occurs, Magneto frees Kitty Pryde and revives Professor X. The New Mutants show up but Magneto is about to convince them to join him when he is knocked unconscious by the Force Warriors. Meanwhile, Gambit and Legacy reach the center room and find a box with the entire universe inside of it. And that’s the book.

So let’s talk opinions. This is getting really good now. I’m beginning to get some sort of idea as to what is going on. It’s possible that Jean Grey or more probably Professor X’s mind-sister Cassandra Nova is the main villain. (Though how she can put a universe in a box is beyond me) Maybe she invaded Legion’s mind and made him create this universe. He gets to have his mother back while she gets to be the puppet master. She is scared of Xavier so it is possible. Also, Revenant, AKA Jean Grey, the Phoenix, is shown as out of place here. Someone might be controlling her as well. Blindfold might still hold the key to everything. The issue itself was a non-stop spy movie. Magneto creating the distraction while Legacy and Gambit break in. I’m guessing the frozen man is Dr. Nemesis but I’m not sure on that either. So many questions. I love that a book is making me get so involved in solving it’s mysteries. The art is great, once again. Magneto using his powers looks awesome. Magneto in general, in this white outfit looks almost holy. It really is a huge difference from his regular red outfit. Color really does make a big difference in how you interpret a character. This was not an action heavy book but the intricate story more than makes up for it. With only two issue to go, this story will reach it’s pinnacle very soon and hopefully all will make sense by then. I wish it there was more. This has been a great story so far. That’s my opinion folks. Take it or leave it.

New Mutants #19 Review

Tagged with: Leonard Kirk  New MutantsNew Mutants #19

The New Mutants are beaten but not defeated. The final battle has just begun. Today I will be reviewing New Mutants #19. Please leave a comment to let me know what you think.

So let’s talk about the book. The Children of Limbo have some fun torturing the New Mutants. Karma, however, manages to enter the mind of one of the Children and turn him to her side. Meanwhile, General Ulyssys manages to activate the Bloodstone using Magic’s Soulsword and Pixie’s soul. As Illyana is taken to a cell, she reveals to Sunspot how Magma will die. As the General prepares to return to Limbo and attack the Demons there with his Bloodstone, Karma makes her move and manages to escape, freeing Illyana in the process. And that’s the book.

So let’s talk opinions. I’m glad that the New Mutants are still fighting like a team and looking out for each other, even when they are facing the end. Karma is one tough girl. Dani, however, is the superstar of this team to me. She is strong willed, resilient and one VERY tough woman. Commanding Sam to man up while being tortured to the extreme while having no powers at all makes her a superstar in my book. General Ulyssys is starting to look like a serious hypocrite.  The Children are starting to look like spoiled brats. At first you feel sorry for them but now you begin to see that they are as diseased as the man who raised them. Its not their fault but someone should have taught them right from wrong. Hopefully some will survive and be reprogrammed. I’m sad to hear that Magma will die but you can never really trust what Illyana is saying half the time anyway. The art is still great. I’m looking forward to next issue and what will probably be the finale of this arc. That’s my opinion folks. Take it or leave it.
