    Good Solid Book

    I this issue the Bill Sienkiewicz art really shines. Night Crawler and Colossus make guest appearances training the New Mutants.

    Colossus is helping Sunspot with his combat skills.

    This issue also sees Rahne writing a fairy tale. Which lends it self to Bills art. And some nice frames of Dagger, of Cloak and Dagger.

    This issue also includes pin-ups of Wolfsbane, Mirage and Magma.

    No big battles, no shocking character revelations. Just good solid Character elopement issue.
