New Mutants Special Edition #1
"Home is where the Heart is"
After his humiliation at the X-Men’s hands, the Norse God Loki plans revenge on them, as well as using
their team mate, Storm, to replace Asgard's prince, Thor, and thus help secure Loki’s bid for the throne of Asgard.
He orders the Enchantress to abduct Storm and her companions,
unaware that those happen to be the New Mutants at the moment.
Magik tries to teleport herself and her friends out of the Enchantress’ prison but, thanks to the
magical wards in the place, Illyana stays behind and the others get scattered through time and space.
The Enchantress brings forth Magik’s dark half aka Darkchilde,
gives it independent being and has it chase down the other New Mutants.

Karma finds herself in a desert and intends to die, when she finds herself cast in the role of reluctant protector to a little girl.
Cypher becomes a slave in a Viking meadhall.
Wolfsbane meets and falls for an intelligent wolf prince but is quickly captured by Darkchilde.
Sunspot finds himself in an Asgardian tavern


and befriends the Warriors Three but he, too,

is eventually captured by Darkchilde.

Mirage saves a flying horse from a trap and forms a bond with the animal.
She is invited by a woman named Mist to join her and her sister, who are all caretakers of those horses.
After some time, Dani learns that something is odd about these women and that
they want her to take part in some ceremony and flees with the horse, Brightwind.

Cannonball becomes lost in the dwarf realm and befriends their king after saving the queen’s life.
They are soon attacked by Dark Elves, among them Magma, whom they have brainwashed and turned into one of their own.
The dwarves manage to restore Magma’s mind, though not her body,
and, together with Sam, she learns that Loki is the one who has captured Storm.

Warlock has an encounter with Hela, goddess of death, and goes in
search of the others, just in time to save Cypher from Darkchilde’s attack.
Together, they find Karma at the edge of the desert, months after she first ended up there,
the strenuous trek having turned out to be the diet from hell. Joined by the other New Mutants,
they face Darkchilde and her prisoners, eventually overcoming her as Karma possesses her.
They attack the Enchantress next and, after the Darkchilde essence is rejoined
with the imprisoned Illyana, they defeat the Enchantress, imprisoning her in Limbo.
The New Mutants find that several of them have unfinished business in Asgard
and that they still have to fight Loki for Storm, so they decide to go back.

War Machine, Falcon and Black Panther are GARBAGE Characters

I agree that War Machine and Falcon are meh in the MCU but the guy himself said Black Panther was good. He just made the mistake of reading Coates’ run instead of Hudlin’s or Priest’s which convinced him the character was trash lol.

I don’t care enough to set fire to things. I wish there was more wisdom everywhere.
