The initial mini series was alright, but things got really bland once we got into the series proper. The New Mutants themselves just don't have a spark. I don't find them compelling at all.

I was a big X-Men fan as a teenager and particularly loved the New Mutants. They were introduced in 1983 and were a band of teenage mutant super heroes. I probably liked them because they were about my age at the time. I have almost a complete set of the comic books but it is much easier to read them in a graphic novel. I enjoyed getting reacquainted with Cannonball and Psyche, although I much prefer the art of the later illustrator (Bill Sienkewicz).

I wanted to get familiar with The New Mutants before seeing the film and I thought I would start with Classic Vol 1 and stop after the 'Demon Bear' Story arc, following Vol 2. This volume was perfect in introducing the characters and there were some great issues collected in this volume. It was cool as well to note that some of these issues are running parallel to Wolverine's stint in Japan and Silver Samurai/Venom make a crossover appearance. Claremont was on his game in this era of Marvel for sure.

This seems a little more interesting than it did when it came out and expectations were high about the expansion of the X-World. While the art still disappointing, much of the gentleness of Claremont's writing here is actually refreshing.
That we are dealing with children and grief is kept front and center in a way that comics have rarely been able to pull off before. It doesn't dazzle, but it has real moments.
