If you see me reading an old comics run it’s a lie. My ass has not read anything older than like 2013 🗣️ this specifically I was like too much words and not an art style I’m into for me to keep going. I may eventually actually go back into older xmen stuff though

Xavier is SUCH a bad man! He's got two students here with psychic powers, and his idea of training them is "this is how to mind rape people! Remember kids, mind rape responsibly. And by that, I mean whenever I tell you to." UUUUUUUG.
That aside, I love Claremont. His characters are so great.

Meh. The art wasn't great. The stories are okay. The New Mutants' powers are sort of lame. I have never read any X-Men, maybe this wasn't the best place to start...

Cannonball. Sunspot. Moonstar. Karma. Rahne. Teenagers, thrown together by the one thing they had in common -- the X-Factor in their genes that made them different, made them mutants. They were bring together in a safe outhouse for medical research and how to put them together as a team for next generation X-men but there powers are special and have different from . They try to kill them in safe house facility but fail to do so. Moonstar ability to manipulate fear almost get them killed but saved the day by there members of team who joined hands to get of the cage and mark there recognition and put there power to good use...

I have not read x-men in my life nor seen any of the movies, but I was surprised with how easy it was to follow along. I liked all the characters well enough and some ideas that were brought up were really fun to read about.

The initial mini series was alright, but things got really bland once we got into the series proper. The New Mutants themselves just don't have a spark. I don't find them compelling at all.

I was a big X-Men fan as a teenager and particularly loved the New Mutants. They were introduced in 1983 and were a band of teenage mutant super heroes. I probably liked them because they were about my age at the time. I have almost a complete set of the comic books but it is much easier to read them in a graphic novel. I enjoyed getting reacquainted with Cannonball and Psyche, although I much prefer the art of the later illustrator (Bill Sienkewicz).

I wanted to get familiar with The New Mutants before seeing the film and I thought I would start with Classic Vol 1 and stop after the 'Demon Bear' Story arc, following Vol 2. This volume was perfect in introducing the characters and there were some great issues collected in this volume. It was cool as well to note that some of these issues are running parallel to Wolverine's stint in Japan and Silver Samurai/Venom make a crossover appearance. Claremont was on his game in this era of Marvel for sure.

This seems a little more interesting than it did when it came out and expectations were high about the expansion of the X-World. While the art still disappointing, much of the gentleness of Claremont's writing here is actually refreshing.
That we are dealing with children and grief is kept front and center in a way that comics have rarely been able to pull off before. It doesn't dazzle, but it has real moments.
