[3-Stars] 41 - "Way of the Warrior" This is a Mirage solo story in which Dani Moonstar returns to her home in Colorado. She must deal with a haunting demon of her past as an old friend turned enemy attracts the attention of Death. This powerful story touches on racism, acceptance and loss.

Annual 2 - "Why Do We Do These Things We Do?!" When Chris Claremont and Alan Davis get together, they create fantastical yarns that I am unable to truly comprehend. It is either higher level storytelling or insane stream-of-consciousness. You may notice in their later collaborations that I have a difficult time keeping up. In this issue, the New Mutants are ensnared in a twisted plot by a new villain to the X-Men universe, the spineless, ratings-obsessed Mojo. Captain Britain guest stars in tale that introduces Psylocke to the United States.
[3-Stars] 45 - "We Were Only Foolin'" The students of Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters are invited to a dance at the Salem Center High School where they befriend Larry Bodine. Larry is the new kid with a secret. It is a powerful story about the effects of bullying and the struggles of trying to fit in.
[4-Stars] 46 - "Bloody Sunday" The Mutant Massacre reaches the New Mutants. They try to help with the wounded but tempers flair with the mounting death toll. Things get worse as Warlock feels the impending arrival of the Magus, and Karma worries about her siblings.
[2-Stars] 47 - "My Heart for the Highlands" The Magus has struck, and the New Mutants are on the run. When the Magus finds them in Limbo, they flee to ancient Scotland where they meet Robert the Bruce. The repercussions of this chase are felt through the entire era.
