With Xavier reaching out to gifted teens, they’re soon hunted by soldiers under Donald Pierce’s command, leading to a tense showdown in Kentucky where Sam Guthrie, misled and aggressive, attacks the team. Chris Claremont’s gripping story, illustrated with precision by Bob McLeod and colored by Glynis Wein, captures the birth of a team forged in crisis. The cover by Bob McLeod perfectly frames the moment the New Mutants truly begin.
In "Renewal," Moira’s desperate rescue of a young mutant with wolf-like abilities sets off a chain of events that brings Xavier back to the front lines. As he gathers gifted teens across the country, they’re pursued by soldiers loyal to Donald Pierce, testing their courage and loyalty. With Xavier captured and their bonds strained, the group must act fast—before it’s too late.
In "Initiation!", the New Mutants settle into their new home, navigating their evolving powers and forging bonds with each other and their mentors—unaware they're being observed. When Psyche is suddenly attacked in the Danger Room by an unknown force, tensions rise, and Moira discovers a startling secret: Professor X has a son.
In "Sentinels," the New Mutants face a relentless assault from the titular machines, only to uncover a deeper conspiracy entangling the government and the Hellfire Club. As Col. Rossi returns from the dead and Psyche’s actions raise troubling questions, the team must unravel a mystery that implicates even Professor X—without knowing who’s truly pulling the strings.
In "Nightmare," Psyche grapples with the terrifying possibility that the monster haunting her is the Demon Bear responsible for her parents’ deaths, while Illyana is haunted by memories of her own violent past—memories that resurface as the creature strikes again, turning on the entire team of New Mutants.
In "The Goldilocks Syndrome (Or: 'Who's Been Sleeping In My Head?')", Jo finds herself caught in a psychic storm when the X-Men return to Earth and confront a Brood-infected Xavier. As the team grapples with the aftermath, old bonds are tested and new roles emerge—especially when Xavier demotes Kitty to the New Mutants, leaving Jo to navigate the shifting tides of power and purpose.
In "Who's Scaring Stevie?", the New Mutants confront a chilling mystery when a series of threatening calls target Stevie, a fellow student. As they dig into the source of the fear, they uncover a hidden connection to a classmate whose own past of abuse has left deep scars.
In "The Hunter and the Hunted," Spider-Man teams up with the New Mutants to rescue two of their own, caught in a dangerous game orchestrated by a mob experimenting with designer drugs inspired by the very origins of Cloak and Dagger. The stakes rise as the line between hunter and hunted blurs in a city where power comes at a deadly cost.
In "Heroes," the New Mutants collide with Team America at a bustling fair, only to be ambushed by Viper and the Silver Samurai. When Viper takes Psyche hostage and forces Team America to steal a mysterious object, the two teams must set aside their differences to mount a rescue—before it's too late.
In "Road Warriors!", the New Mutants hit the road on a high-stakes mission that pulls them into a tangled web of family secrets and dangerous alliances. When Karma seeks help from her crime-lord uncle, Gen. Coy, her desperate move sets off a chain reaction—Team America races to secure a powerful crystal from an AIM fortress in Mexico, while the team scrambles to rescue Psyche from a hidden threat. As tensions rise and loyalties are tested, a mysterious figure makes a chilling claim on Karma, marking her in ways no one can yet understand.
In "Flying Down to Rio!", the New Mutants jet off to Rio de Janeiro on a mission that’s as much about family as it is about saving the day. When Professor X suspects the Hellfire Club is behind Karma’s disappearance, the team follows a trail that leads them to Sunspot’s mother—only to find her captured, and caught in a web of secrets that may involve her own husband.
Jo and Sunspot’s mother find themselves adrift on the Amazon when their journey takes a sudden turn—attacked by natives, then stranded after their ship is destroyed. When Cannonball captures one of the assailants, the truth unravels in shocking fashion: the attackers aren’t who they seem. Now, stranded and facing an impossible threat, the group is taken prisoner by a force straight out of legend—Romans.
In "Arena," the New Mutants find themselves trapped in Nova Roma, a secret city deep in the Amazon, drawn into a dangerous conflict tied to Amara’s estranged father. With the boys forced to battle in a brutal arena and Wolfsbane unexpectedly revered as a divine figure, the line between myth and survival blurs.
In "Betrayal!", Jo and her teammates face a shocking turn when Psyche and Amara are taken by Selene for a deadly ritual. As Amara is thrown into a lava pool, she emerges transformed—her powers awakened, her resolve hardened, and her path to vengeance just beginning.
In "Sunstroke," Jo faces a painful reckoning when Sunspot confronts his father, determined to stop him at any cost—while DaCosta makes a shocking choice to join the Hellfire Club, and Amara, overwhelmed by her powers in Rio de Janeiro, finds her path forward with the New Mutants.
