780. New Mutants vol 1 #51 ... #mutants ... #newmutants ... #shiar ...

[This is reviewed and posted on 5th Feb 2018]

With the forthcoming New Mutants movie, we are posting a few more reviews from the original series and the original series was generally a good read overall from 1 to 100 albeit with hiccups along the way but at least it was one continuous series, not a series of re-launch

So this issue is actually not just on the New Mutants but also what is happening over in the X-Men title of that era as we see the fact that after much deliberation, Magneto actually consulted Storm who was the leader of the field team and it was agreed that Magneto accept Sebastian Shaw of the Hellfire Club's offer to join them in some sort of joint capacity ... always with the aim of ensuring that the X-Men can monitor what is going on ... while on the flipside, Shaw hopes to influence and get the X-Men to stay out of his hair ... ah, Storm you are ever a crappy leader at that time especially with your decision-making abilities

Meanwhile on the other side of the Universe, we see the New Mutants finally reunited after their time/ space jump of the past issues and where are they? Together with a Professor Xavier who is healed (thanks to Shiar technology). So while they are generally having a moment of blissful reunion, the Prof has some tough decisions to make. Will he stay with his love, Lilandra to try and fight to take back her crown from the baddies? Or will he, in seeing the nightmare from the Mutant Massacre and generally what is going on back on planet Earth, go back to Earth to support both teams of students?

Ratings: 6/10 (the art is kinda so not our taste)
