NEW MUTANTS #27
Last issue started a new chapter for the New Mutants as the Destiny of X era heated up as the war between MAGIK and the GOBLIN QUEEN kicked off in the brand-new story arc, “THE LABORS OF MAGIK,” by Vita Ayala and Rod Reis.
This week’s NEW MUTANTS #27 is still the perfect jumping-on point for the series as the team celebrates their 40th anniversary with a story that will redefine what it means to be the next generation of X-MEN.
