New Mutants: Dead Souls #1 preview

[Ricochet Rita]

This is a must-buy for me . Actually, the only X-must-buy.

Despite

Ah, casually abusing animals. I guess that's cool now.

Something's wrong when Guido is the only one who isn't a piece of shit.

Yeah, I myself felt a bit confused, too. It's OK for Illyana, but the others...

[Kurolegacy]

May be contrary to what everyone’s saying about the art but what’s up with Magik’s face? Not only do her bangs feel off but she looks like she hasn’t slept in days.

[anyajenkins]

Her bangs look super short, making her forehead look odd. ...not liking the kitten thing... :/

This preview is awesome! I'm excited about it now. I wasn't planning on it. But, yup, this has that New Mutants goth spirit I love so much.

There's this, um, how do you all feel about this?

This, well, this possibility, especially in a mini but because it's...well, maybe now is time for a certain sort of more creative and expansive experience of what is possible in this one time and place and moment, that's not specially said to be some other dimension or fractured 'what if', but that in this story of now, there is this happening and this happening and this too and they all are one but none more or less than all or more or less then themselves alone. All these happenings is what's happening.

You know?

Isn't that okay and maybe cool? What do you think?

What I mean is, cannon is cannon and continuity isn't and doesn't have to mean what it was. It isn't in real life and never was.

This looks awesome. And if it is, it need not explain itself to me or be held accountable to any other title featuring Magik or anybody or their issues with one another...nope. It's entirely true that none of this is exclusively true, and some or most is mostly not & that's entirely possibly maybe certainly so.

It can't be a mistake that I was listening to the Cure's 'Seventeen Seconds' when I saw this preview.

Yeah, looks like someone got scissor happy last time she went to the salon for a bangs trim.

[Harpsikord]

So... about the cat. Illyana never let go of it. It was literally just hanging by the scruff of it's neck for a few months Limbo time. It's FINE haha.

The only X-Book I care about rn.

[Drakeon]

I really hope the rest is good. But this dialouge is terrible.

I liked the art though.

About Magik throwing the kitten to Limbo, allow me to summarize:


(New Mutants #50 1st series)

But really. I don't think the kitten-to-cat scene is meant to be taken seriously. I believe the writer intended to make it humorous.

I'm setting my expectations low for this NM mini.

Illyana's got now a 'rad' look and she seems kind of dark. I see no contradiction with the character, honestly.

Obviously. Trouble is, many people don't see animal torture as something humorous. I mean, if her team-mates would have feel more or less annoyed for the kitten issue, the scene would have got more sense to me.

Of course they want humorous. Problem for me is many current writtwrs try to put to much humor in.

Between the end of GenX and the start of Mystery in Madripoor this is the title that interests me most.

Yeah modern comics are written for the tumblr/twitter crowd

I always feel the X-Men are an exception to that rule considering how overwhelmingly straight/white/male they are and how much they rely on pandering to 40+ year old readers.

There are some parts of Limbo that are habitable. The pocket dimension is pretty much like Magik’s back yard.
