"ASHES TO ASHES" Part 1 (of 1). The kids at Xavier’s deal with death as they mourn the passing of one of their favorite teachers...but when the emotions start coming out, will the kids start saying some things that might signal the end of New Mutants forever?! A Wolverine: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Tie-In!
Last week, both the students and the X-Men were ordered by S.H.I.E.L.D. to stay in their mansion, because of the danger of a mind-controlled Wolverine. Wolverine attacked the school, but the X-Men, S.H.I.E.L.D. and some other heroes quickly reacted and went after him. Northstar was one of the heroes that helped out, but he was no match for the feral mutant. Northstar and Wolverine fought, but Jean-Paul ended up being killed by his claws! Josh desperately tried to heal the wounds, but with no such luck. Jean-Paul Beaubier is dead. Today, Emma Frost and Cyclops inform all of the students that there will be no classes for the entire week, and at the end a memorial service will take place. At the same time, David still avoids Noriko, and Josh is being ignored by everyone unless they have to work together. Sofia shares a few moments with Julian, and they talk about his experiences with Jean-Paul when he used to be Julian’s advisor before Emma. However, Julian refuses to go to the memorial, since it’s boring. The next day, Dani, Iceman and Polaris are called on a S.H.I.E.L.D. plane. A doctor wants to disconnect Northstar’s brain from his corpse, so the Hand won’t have a chance to resurrect him. However, they are too late, as Hand ninjas, led by a resurrected Elektra, attack and kidnap Jean-Paul. This upsets Dani, who thinks she’s now useless in a battlefield. Despite these events, the memorial continues, and some old friends of Jean-Paul pass by for it. At the end of the service, the great Canadian hero is honored by a statue in his memory.
