“Initiation!”

The New Mutants #1 kicks off with a fresh batch of young mutants adjusting to life at Xavier’s School, discovering their powers and forming bonds—though not all is as it seems. As they train and settle in, a shadowy presence watches from the sidelines, and a shocking revelation about Professor X’s past begins to unfold. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Bob McLeod, with inks by Mike Gustovich and colors by Glynis Wein, the issue’s cover by McLeod captures the tension beneath the surface.
