669. New Mutants vol 1 #57 ... #newmutants ... #birdbrain ...

[This is reviewed and posted on 5 February 2018]

[Yes, we are going backwards and reposting a review. Hahahaha! But we are trying to ensure we have no breaks if possible but honestly, we have no idea if we are even able to do it but we will try the best we can, okay?]

Anyway, this issue is a continuing storyline of the New Mutants except the fact that this is the issue, that in our opinion, is the start of a downward slide in the life of this title, that will have a few points of uplift (like the crossover fall of the mutants and inferno) but other than that, there is nothing to stop until Rob Liefeld came onboard with his over-the-top super energetic artwork and the introduction of characters like Cable and team

At this time, we see the New Mutants letting Magneto finding out that they have rescued a creature from the zoo believing that he is a mutant of sorts. He however behaves more like a real bird (mutated) than a human (mutating into part bird). So while Magneto harrumphs all over the place, the mutants squabble amongst themselves on whether what they did is right including a short trip outside for burgers and learning how crazy the bird creature is

After a lot of unnecessary drama, Magneto agreed to give the creature a go but they will need to somehow learn more about him ...

And for us, the creature is nowhere near interesting to warrant our continuation ... in fact, there are many such throwaway characters in the comic verse ... o yeah at this time, Bret Blevins who does some decent art elsewhere came onboard and the art just deteriorated with very coarse line work and simplistic cartoony style where everyone's head is so much bigger than their body (sigh!)

Ratings: 4/10
