Not a very good issue at all. Can’t wait till they get out of space.

2nd best comic of the day. Reis's art has really grown on me as well. I didn't care much for his style in issue 1 but he won me over this issue, specifically the scene with Gladiator looking out the window at the cityscape. Hickman is just killing it with the dialogue here, it is so different from his X-Men book but I find myself really enjoying both. Magik wins the day however, she was HBIC.
So, given that 2 of those Death Commandos were female, does this confirm Illyana as bi or was that just her version of a parlay?
If Hickman and Reis were doing every issue of NM, it would be hard to beat as the best DoX title.
This issue was just perfection. So freaking good.
It was funny from a reader perspective but in universe doesnt work as a joke strictly speaking. And Magik has never been straight.
A lot of humor in this issue but I would have preferred more action. Still a fantastic issue and a cliff-hanger at the end. Hickman's writing is really refreshing and interesting. Magik is badass in this issue.
The action scenes could have stretched into next issue instead of just contained in this issue. After all, the aliens are commandos who would have given the New Mutants a good fight instead of being taken out so easily.
Next issue is back to arrgh.... Glob and gang again.
