New Mutants #9 Review

Boom Boom takes the lead!

By Ryan PagellaMarch 11, 2020

When I first started reading X-Men comics, Jim Lee was making his marks on Uncanny and Marvel was a few months away from dropping the adjective-less X-Men, a book that went on to sell millions of copies. With Lee’s departure, my young mind unquestionably felt as if the art style of the X-books took a hit (although I have come to appreciate and honor the contributors that followed with each subsequent reading). A slew of great artists has left their mark on the X-books in the decades that followed, but Chris Bachalo has produced so many iconic images for the line that he stands on a pedestal of his own.

The number of enemies you have directly affects your general well being unless of course, you're the X-Men. Over the course of the last 7 issues, Jonathan Hickman has introduced new threat after new threat seriously making mutants on Krakoa less safe than mutants may have ever been in existence. Enter issue #8 this week where we find yet another threat on their doorstep. Marvel has released its History of the Marvel Universe and in it, we learn the latest threat is nearly as old as most anything in the universe. That's right, it's the Brood's time to shine!

When I first started reading comics in the late 80s, Excalibur was not a book I picked up. Thanks to my neighbor’s collection, I was able to catch up on numerous important runs in the X-Men’s history, so I was very familiar with many of the British team’s roster. I loved Nightcrawler and Kitty Pride, but the book’s tone seemed out of place with what I was experiencing in the core mutant titles and the general early 90s comic book scene. Thus, I unfortunately missed out on some of the best X-books from the era.

Last time we left off with the team over at Excalibur, they had been tasked by Apocalypse with fetching Warwolf skulls, who were in the captivity of Cullen Bloodstone. In typical Cullen fashion, he turned this into a game of sport in which he would compete with the X-Men in hunting the Warwolves for their skulls. Excalibur’s fearless leader, Betsy, agreed to playing by the rules, as she holds the Captain Britain title, which also meant no mutant powers.

Does a new development threaten “Make More Mutants” in Marauders #9?

A very big problem is brewing in Krakoa.

By David BrookeMarch 4, 2020

It's hard to believe we're already nine issues into Marauders when it feels like just yesterday House of X and Powers of X were still ongoing. As the stories continue to move forward, each Dawn of X title gets weightier and more interesting, and that's certainly true of Marauders. The complexities of the different Monarchs of the Hellfire Trading Company and their Bishops and Knights below them has brought in a political and almost Game of Thrones vibe to the title. Frankly, you could probably hang the entire X-Men line on the political battles going on in this title! In the 9th issue, there's an attack on the shores of Krakoa and he's hiding inside Pyro. Literally!
