Well, arter reading this issue I have decided to stop buying New Mutants.
I admit that the artwork and story this time if and only if I considered it
as a last issue.  To me, you are either dead or alive:  people simply don't
die in this issue to be resurrected a month later. I am truly sorry about
this because only a year ago this was one of my favorite comics.  It once
had great characters and wild, wonderful artwork, but now all it has are
dead folks.

Anyway, according to Amazing Heroes, the next 3 issues consist of: Magneto be-
trays the mutants to the white queen, changes his mind and tries to rescue
them, fails, calls up the Avengers to save the day.  Hohum.
