Grade: C
School life continues with a field day competition, spring dance, and an attack by the Blob, but despite it all, the New Mutants and their staff deal with the fallout of recent events. Wolfsbane leaves the Institute after the revelation of her secret relationship with a student (Josh), David continues to avoid Noriko after his troubling visions of the possible future, and Wolverine is on a murderous rampage that leaves the popular teacher, Northstar, dead. Scott and Emma hire Dr. Sean Garrison to be a school counselor to help, but the renowned therapist may have his own agenda.
Nunzio DeFillippis & Christina Weir continue to capture the complexity of navigating high school using extreme situations to capture very real insecurities. It does not, however, break new ground and feels even more like a young adult read than the previous collections.
