New Mutants: Back to School #1

In "Fear," the New Mutants face their deepest anxieties when a violent clash with the Reavers shakes their sense of safety. Kevin’s breakdown forces him to consider leaving the school, while Dani grapples with her role as a teacher—until her students persuade her to stay. Amid the aftermath, Josh, a Reaver who reveals himself to be a mutant, seeks refuge at Xavier’s, finding unexpected sanctuary with David. Written by Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir, with art by Mark A. Robinson and inks by Pat Davidson and Scott Elmer, this issue captures the emotional core of a team learning to face their fears—both inside and out. The cover by Joshua Middleton perfectly frames the tension of the moment.
