    The OG NMs arent on Krakoa though but in space, so its not like she couldnt have been utilized there. Kitty isnt allowed on Krakoa yet she had a role in a book. Besides Rictor's powers could be hazardous to Krakoa as well. Unless she's actively trying to harm it, I dont think Magma would be an issue to it. There are either plans for her in Wave 2 or no one wants to use her

    I didnt get teenage vibes from them. They are in their early to mid 20s (except for Karma) and thats how they read

    They aren’t. They’re in their 20s. Xavier didn’t do anything to them.

    Agreed. I didn't see anyone as still teens. Monet still seems to be around 20 or 21 with the NM a few years older. Only de-aging I saw were the Penance twins, who look 5 instead of 12 or 13 where they should arguably be.

    Yeah, and the Academy X gen is definitely not in their early teens. They’re late teens to early 20s.

    With Bobby knocking back the Kentucky Bourbon and eager to pass it around...it's safe to assume they are all of legal drinking age.
    I LOVED this book...and can't wait for issue two.

    They are over 21 but this aint proof of it. You dont need to be 21 to drink and besides the age limitations on selling/serving to minors is an American law and they no longer live in the USA

    Hickman is too much of a continuity nerd to ignore Magma without giving a canon reason for ignoring Magma, we just have to wait see what it is.

    I wish we'd get a continuity nerd who would explain why Magma flies

    Something about the for real harsh breakfast club uncomfortable grittiness of the New Mutants OG POV as it established itself against the increasingly wtf hyperbolic adlut dystopian scifi/romance of the UXM is here in this first book and I love it for that.

    Maybe I'm not adept enough to define it completely.

    The team really manages to (with some super though perhaps found/random select help from Chamber) be THE NEW MUTANTS clear eyed and directly to your face and also amazingly, under the skin. Great first issue.

    I don't want perfect from mainstream comic books. Please no!

    I want this sort of, that's good great um...well, whatever, let's get on with it...hey, THEY ARE PIRATES...and listen, Doug is naturally gonna make things creepy enough because he's always for a long time Dead and vulnerable and yet...lanuage right...Bobby should be more, well he's older so he's more, um, not the other Bobby, but sort of...and Dani is not Jean or Scott or Jean&Scott (thankfully)...I wonder if she'll have anything to say about 'the land' and 'the people.' Or about 'the dead'.

    Wow she's an important character in the New Dawn. If she wants to be. Needs to be. Maybe anyone could be?

    All good.

    Um, of course Wolfsbane grabs the egg, having been reborn of the egg, without religion in paradise and all this is to say...will she resurrect her baby/religion/relationship with like a mama Moira...does it matter?

    And DAMN 'Yanna!

    It's not serious...she just cut off his arm and broke his sword...SHE DID IT BECAUSE SHE WAS ANGRY...Magik cuts off the mechanical (virtual) arm of the guy and shatters his sword...and she's in that uniform guys! Hooray!

    I'm not an expert.

    What I got from this book is this shiny pile of happy cut ups, a nice mess, here.
    I just have a lot of favorite parts (I even flipped back to pages to re-see them which I rarely do these days) and THIS was only one comic.
    So it must be awesome. And it didn't really tell me it was awesome. It didn't have to. It didn't seem to even care.
    All good.

    No owls.

    No cats or dogs or horses right?

    No birds & bees? Right?

    No 'natural' fauna or flora?
    Yes, tons of it. There's lots shown in X-Force, Fallen Angels, etc.

    Tons? I didn't read those two. But is this wildlife in Krakoa and of Earth?
