The New Mutants #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 1994 collected edition reprints the earliest adventures of the second generation of Marvel's mutant team, The New Mutants, originally introduced in the pages of Marvel Graphic Novel #4 and continuing through their first story arc. The volume showcases the team's formation under the guidance of Professor Charles Xavier, featuring key early members like Cannonball, Mirage, Wolfsbane, Sunspot, and Karma, and sets the stage for their evolution into the team later known as X-Force.
In "Renewal," Moira’s urgent 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 reaches out to new mutants across the country, they’re targeted by soldiers loyal to Donald Pierce, leading to a tense confrontation in Kentucky where Sam Guthrie—under false pretenses—turns on the team. With Xavier captured and his mind in danger, the group must act fast to save him. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Bob McLeod, with vibrant colors by Glynis Wein and bold lettering by Tom Orzechowski, this pivotal issue marks the birth of the New Mutants. The cover by Adam Hughes captures the moment with striking intensity.

Arriving in Kentucky, Xavier and Rahne are attacked by Sam Guthrie who has been duped into working for Pierce. Xavier is captured. The mutants try to save Xavier before Pierce can suck his mind dry. Afterwards, Xavier gives them uniforms and, once Sam comes calling and is accepted into their ranks, the New Mutants are born.
