Manga: - New Mutants (Manga New Mutants)

New Mutants (Manga New Mutants) Moonstar, Karma, Magma, and Wolfsbane - the former X-Men-in-training who helped define a generation - are back. But what happens when these "New Mutants" find out Professor Xavier's up-and-coming students think of them as the "Old Mutants?" Former students become the teachers as the old guard is asked back to help prepare the next generation of New X-Men. Collects New Mutants #1-6.
Customer Review: Fantastic!
I had actually picked this book up AFTER reading the New X-Men: Academy X storylines where these featured characters had already returned. The art and story-telling in this compilation were an excellent mesh! I'm actually at work otherwise, i'd go into specifics. Buy this book and find out what I'm talking about.
Customer Review: This Is the New Mutants!
Not the -Ultimate X-Men Vol 8-. Danielle Moonstar returns, a reluctant but willing helper to Professor X … only to be offered a job as a teacher as the Xavier Institute. Well worth the cost, this tale reunites her w/Karma & [tangentially] Magma, & showcases her essential humanity.
Danielle is a reluctant co-worker-to-Prof-er-Charles, unconvinced of her effectiveness even as she talks a toxic teen into coming w/her to Xavier's. The new thrust of Xavier's, as a training/teaching facilty for young outcasts rather than a "next X-men prep" is a bold move, & Dani is a natural … & Karma, as a triple threat [she's a mutant! she's an Asain! Oooh, gods, she's *GAY*!] addition is charming [if generically drawn; i'm not a big fan of the artist]. Highly recommended!
