It seemed to exist bc Hickman had a story he wanted to tell, which tied directly into plots he was setting up for Xmen. The NM mini series from 2018 seemed like a movie cash grab....this one not so much especially with the studio constantly delaying beyond anything Marvel could control or synchronize with
Total agreement. Dani really needs a different team. (All the OG NewMutants do really.) I'd love it if she ended up on a book written by Vita Ayala. I finally got around to reading issue #3 of Prisoner X, and really liked their take on Dani. That's why I'm so excited about Empyre: X-men #3.
*Pretty Nobody Really Cared* about Generation X and the different casts of younger characters. That's the reason Marvel killed them off in the end to begin with. They were basically a plot device that kept running out of steam,basically because people realized the concepts behind the book never really made any sense and kept getting worse and worse over time.
Gen X represented the same problems that ended up killing the Original New Mutants series,but taken to a even worse level-lousy plots and concepts,even worse art,ect,ect,ect.
If this book ever becomes a Gen X centered title you can kiss it good-bye faster than the RMS Titanic sank.

So what are you favourite badass Dani moments?
One of mine is when she faces the Beyonder. She knows she's going to die, but she charges him anyway.
Moonstar’s introduction in FEARLESS DEFENDERS #2 confirmed her status as Badass even when depowered...
Also here’s artist Will Sliney’s character profile on Dani from that period: https://www.comicsbeat.com/will-slin...dani-moonstar/
I wish the book had found its audience and lasted longer. Has there been any pickup of the Valkyries of Earth plot anywhere?
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no fear, there is power.
I am the heart of the Force.
I am the revealing fire of light.
I am the mystery of darkness.
In balance with chaos and harmony,
Immortal in the Force.
What’s up with all the racist Pocahontas insults? These writers need to come up with something more creative

Last "badass Dani Moonstar" from me for this round...
It was poorly rendered but her late in Issue #1 of the 2003 series NEW MUTANTS was badass enough to buy the book the benefit of the doubt to see where the book was going.
Unfortunately the art didn't get much better and Dani was relegated to a smock wearing hand holder for the new generation of whiny mutants...
