New Mutants: Demon Bear #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection reprints the classic New Mutants storyline from the early 1980s, focusing on the team's harrowing encounter with the mystical Demon Bear. Written by Chris Claremont with art by Bill Sienkiewicz, the story delves into the psychic trauma of Dani Moonstar and the young mutants' struggle against a malevolent force tied to Native American mythology. The volume includes issues from the original New Mutants series that form this iconic arc.
In "Excerpts from New Mutants #1, #3 & #17," Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz deliver a haunting, character-driven chapter where Danielle Moonstar faces the terrifying legacy of the Demon Bear that killed her parents, while Rachel Summers struggles to reach Professor X across time and Warlock flees from the shadow of his father, Magus. The issue’s stark, emotionally charged art by Sienkiewicz—pencils and inks by the same hand—brings raw intensity to each moment, with Glynis Wein’s colors and Tom Orzechowski’s lettering adding depth to the tension. The cover, also by Sienkiewicz, captures the dread with a single, haunting image.
In "Death-Hunt," Danielle Moonstar faces the terrifying return of the Demon Bear that slaughtered her parents, while Rachel Summers struggles to reach Professor X across time and Warlock flees from the shadow of his father, Magus. As danger closes in, Danielle’s fight for survival becomes a desperate battle against a past that refuses to stay buried.
In "Siege," Danielle Moonstar clings to consciousness during a desperate surgical procedure, while Warlock and Magus race toward Earth aboard the Starjammers. As Magik begins to summon protective armor, the Demon Bear unleashes a brutal assault, dragging the New Mutants and two captives into a twisted realm of his making.
In "Badlands," the New Mutants face the terrifying Demon Bear in a surreal, otherworldly confrontation that upends reality itself. When Officer Tom Corsi and nurse Sharon Friedlander are transformed into Native Americans, the team must navigate the shifting landscape of the badlands, where the line between memory and nightmare blurs. As Danielle Moonstar’s parents return from the dead, freed by Magik’s Soulsword, the battle becomes less about survival and more about confronting the past.
