This is a nce and breezy title in the new Dawn of X series, with some fun characters and a nice heelt urn from the Starjammers, who I've always thought were also-rans in the Marvel universe. Still, a solid opening, if...
-
Another great Dawn of X first issue that play perfect homage to the original New Mutant series while being something new all together. Plus the art has heavy Sienkiewicz vibes to it.

I sure enjoyed this one. I haven't read any of the previous series. Great story and fun at every corner. Worth a look through in my x-Men run getting all the num 1's for this event.

I never really followed the New Mutants, buy Hickman is writing, so I interested.
The original New Mutants comic was a really great read. It got weird and bad at some points in the run, but overall it was a very strong comic especially before Cable showed up and it became much more a standard superhero book. We shall see what they do with this one, but I am very hopeful that it will be enjoyable!
I'm in the same boat. Never really Followed but Hickman
& Brisson. I've enjoyed everything that I've read of his,
So glad Rod Reis is the Artist!!! He's one of my faves and a great Bill Sienkiewicz impressionist!!!
Doesn't matter. Ed Brisson is pretty great. Becoming a big talent at Marvel. Either way it should be good.
Hickman is writing the first story arc to set up some things for a couple of years down the line, then Brisson will be taking over.
Secret Worriers? Doesn't sound like that great of a super hero team. Do they just sit in the corner worrying that something is going wrong?
@fuzzynerfherder I will be getting this and Marauders because of Emma Frost. Plus the awesome covers by Russell Dauterman. I'm not so sure about X-Men and I don't care at all for the others. I think a limit of 2 X books is good.
The reason why im picking up the "new mutants" is because after reading powers / house of X... if the new mutants are going to space, i think they will encounter the phalanx. I really want to see these other races / beings especially the dominion. i havent been into comics for years, but the house / powers series really moved me.
keep telling these stories. happy reading folks.
I grew up reading the original team. Can't wait for this one to come out! Just sad that Cannonball wasn't listed as being on this team.
I thought they were bringing him back in Dec, but it looks like not now (?)
He'll be appearing in the series! The first arc is the search for him to tell him about Krakoa.
Yesss, my children T-T
Dumbasses, all of them
This was so boring. 7/8 of the book is just dialogue. The plot is super weak and the change from the Krakoan exposition to space felt super rushed. Can't believe Hickman helped write this one. Too many cooks with Brisson on it as well. I dig the art even though its not my style and the cover is cool. Only book thats really pulled me in so far is the main x title.
That 7/8ths was pure Hickman.
Doubt. Felt like hit or miss Brisson.
yeah. not clear on the transition from krakoa to space. and why go to space again? to get Cannonball???
@jayc13 There was a page in which Bobby and Dani decide they should go get Cannonball.
To me, zero difference in quality or useful content in this first 3/4ths and the second half of HoX/PoX
Great looking book. But another unnecessary, repetitive, exposition filled issue with tons of mis-characterization.
why?
This was easily my least favorite Dawn of X release so far. The dialogue was stiff (and there's a lot of dialogue) and I found the story boring. The best part of this issue are the Star Jammers, which could be a problem since they aren't the main characters. Art was cool. Hopefully this series starts to hit it's stride quickly.
