☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "To the Ends of the Earth," the Beyonder—once a cosmic observer—grapples with the weight of infinite power, seeking a new kind of experience: mortality. Drawn into a machine designed to birth him as a mortal, he discovers both fear and exhilaration in the fleeting nature of life, only to be interrupted by Earth’s heroes. Written by Jim Shooter and illustrated by Al Milgrom with inks by Steve Leialoha, colors by M. Hands, and letters by Rosen and Parker, this pivotal story features a striking cover by Rick Leonardi and Bill Sienkiewicz.
In "To the Ends of the Earth," the New Mutants track Karma to Madripoor, only to be captured—except for Magik and Mirage, who teleport to Cairo in search of her. Stranded across time, they leap through centuries before finally landing in the right moment, where they reunite with Warlock and join forces with Storm.
In "Against All Odds," Storm, Magik, Mirage, and Warlock fight to survive as Karma and the corrupted New Mutants turn against them. When Magik sends Mirage to confront Karma and Warlock to Limbo—where he uncovers painful truths about her past—loyalties are tested and the team fractures under pressure.
In "With a Little Bit of Luck!", Magik and Warlock find common ground as they face a shared threat. With a desperate leap through time, Magik seeks answers to unravel the mystery of their enemy, ultimately freeing her teammates to stand together against Amahl Farouk’s control over Karma. The fight is far from over, but hope begins to take root.
When Loki captures Storm, the New Mutants are scattered—each facing a personal trial that reshapes their understanding of themselves. Magik’s quick thinking saves them, but the real test comes when they must reunite, not just to face the Enchantress, but to find their way back to one another.
In "The Times, They Are A'changin'!", Magneto takes the reins as headmaster of the New Mutants' school, marking a bold shift in leadership as he works to earn the team’s trust. When Mirage is rescued from muggers by her new winged steed, Brightwind, and Aleytys Forrester quietly returns to her boat and crew, the group begins to navigate this new chapter—both in their training and in their evolving dynamics.
In "Subway to Salvation!" from New Mutants Epic Collection #3, Magik faces a mysterious offer from the Beyonder that threatens to unravel her resolve, as demons from Limbo begin breaching reality across the city. With Shadowcat unexpectedly inheriting Magik’s Soulsword and armor—powerful tools she’s ill-equipped to wield—the team must race to restore order and protect her before the chaos consumes them all.
In "If I Should Die," Mirage is haunted by a vision of the New Mutants’ demise, while Sunspot journeys to say goodbye to his mother. When the Beyonder appears, offering salvation, he turns on the team—killing them all and erasing their existence from the memories of everyone who knew them.
In "God in Man, Man in God!", the Beyonder—ever the cosmic wanderer—grapples with the weight of his power, seeking not destruction but the fleeting thrill of mortality. He constructs a machine to experience life as a human, only to find himself hooked on the rush, until Earth’s heroes intervene. With Molecule Man’s strike, the machine’s fate is sealed, and a new universe stirs in the aftermath.
In "Aftermath!", the New Mutants grapple with the lingering trauma of their death and rebirth at the hands of the Beyonder, their unity tested as Empath turns on Tom and Sharon. With Emma Frost stepping forward to offer Magneto her help, the team is relocated to the Massachusetts Academy in a bid to regroup and heal.
In "Pawns of the White Queen," a fractured team of young mutants—Wolfsbane, Cypher, Karma, Cannonball, and Magma—find themselves drawn into the orbit of the Hellions, while Magik retreats to Limbo and Mirage returns home. When Magneto learns of Empath’s assault on Tom and Sharon, he moves to bring the team back, but Emma Frost’s intervention sets a new course. The story unfolds with shifting loyalties and hidden stakes, all under the watchful eye of a mysterious force pulling the strings.
When the police warn the Avengers that Magneto is targeting students at a private school, chaos erupts as the team confronts him and Warlock. Meanwhile, the New Mutants pick up on the disturbance and rush to intervene, drawn into a clash that tests their resolve. As tensions rise, Emma Frost and the team part ways with a rare moment of mutual respect.
In "Way of the Warrior," Mirage returns home for a break, only to be thrust into a crisis when her old friend and rival, Pat Roberts, is severely injured in a car accident. As she confronts the reality of death for the first time, Mirage must navigate grief and the emotional toll of loss while beginning the long path toward healing.
In "New Song for Old," Cannonball returns to his hometown for a rare break, only to find himself caught between the past and the future—torn between staying and leaving, unsure of his brother’s fears about mutation, and hesitant about bringing Lila home. As old wounds and new questions surface, he must navigate family, identity, and the uncertain path ahead.
In "Runaway!", the New Mutants race to reclaim control of Legion’s fractured mind on Muir Isle, where Jack Wayne has taken over—only to face a haunting reunion with Reverend Craig and a growing unease in Rahne’s shadows. As the team works to restore Legion’s true self, Mirage picks up on a troubling shift in Wolfsbane, hinting at a deeper struggle beneath the surface.
In "Why Do We Do These Things We Do?!", the New Mutants face a surreal threat when Mojo captures Betsy, transforming her into Psylocke with new eyes, and then takes Wolfsbane, Sunspot, Karma’s siblings, and the Bratpack. With help from Captain Britain and a desperate fusion of Cypher and Warlock, the team must unravel Mojo’s twisted game before it’s too late—though not all of them will walk away unchanged.
