3.32. (762) New Mutants vol 1 #38 ... #mutants ...

[Posted on 25th Nov 2017]

If the last issue had them all murdered by the Beyonder, literally, everyone died, then in order for this series to continue, you know that there must be a resurrection. It's a given and the resurrection part unfortunately is dealt with in the main Secret Wars issue. Basically, the Beyonder has decided to assume mortality in its entirety with one exception - he is a mortal but has access to powers like mutants or the Molecule Man (his inspiration)

So while he is constructing the machine using his immeasurable knowledge and powers (not sure why he cannot just make it happen after all it is not as if he is going through childhood but straight within seconds to adulthood in a machine!), he decided to resurrect the mutants by summoning whatever remainder memories and atoms and reconstruct them ... to send them against the approaching heroes to delay them so that he, the Beyonder can finish his work

This issue shows the effects where the mutants are now back in the mansion, not zombies but may as well be because they are going through the motions with literally no feelings whatsoever. If asked to do something, they do. And then they are content to just hang around standing or seating or whatever ...

So new headmaster Magneto is obviously in a bit of a difficult situation feeling like he is in way over his head. Since his power is Magnetism and not like Xavier, he knows that there is only one solution ...

While he is making his decision, Dani aka Mirage is the first to find her own feelings returning and her senses as well

The question then is whether Magneto can afford to wait or will he seek outside help?

Ratings: 7/10 (awesome cover)
