New Mutants

In the wake of the Decimation, Marvel's second-string mutant team gets a second chance when the original New Mutants reunites in San Francisco. This 50-issue run, primarily written by Zeb Wells and later Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning, re-centers on Sunspot, Magma, Warlock, and Cypher as they navigate a world where mutantkind is on the brink of extinction. With art from Diógenes Neves, Leonard Kirk, and Leandro Fernández, the series balances cosmic threats with the grounded, character-driven drama that defined the team's early days. It's a key bridge between the post-House of M landscape and the eventual Krakoa era, reaffirming why these young mutants matter.
