Rating: Summary: The Terminator Joins the X-Books! Review: Rob Liefeld is the most-hated man in comics today. But back in the late 1980s and early 1990s, he was the hottest artist in the industry. I wonder what happened to his fans then? Maybe they simply grew up and suddenly felt embarrassed over their one-time affection for the steroids-pumped characters of Liefeld?Check out this volume to see the work that made Rob Liefeld a star in the late '80s. It collects the final issues of New Mutants, a title that was deteriorating until Louise Simonson and Rob Liefeld turned it around with the stories in this volume. And they did it in such a simple fashion - they injected in a Terminator-knock-off called Cable and the book was suddenly infused with a new life, a new energy like never before. And as with every new character to be introduced into the X-Books in those days, there is the inevitable clash with Wolverine, somewhat like a "baptism of fire" or something like that (rest assured, that's also reprinted in this volume).
Rating: Summary: Nothing short of an atrocity. Review: The New Mutants was the first, and probably best, X-Men spin-off title. Claremont favored telling stories of character, there were many issues which didn't even contain a single battle. But that all ended with Rob Liefeld taking over the title. Although I have come to respect Rob Liefeld over the past few years, what he did with the New Mutants is unforgivable. He changed them from a group of trouble adolescents into a third-rate Teen Titans clones. This book reprints the issues which are the greatest tragedy that ever befell the X-Titles. Do not buy this book.
Rating: Summary: this group of comics tells how cable joins the new mutants. Review: This is a collection of the New Mutants. It shows how Cable joins the New Mutants , The New Mutants Ne costumes, an Cable vs. Wolverine. And it also shows Stryfe, a mutant who wants to poison the waters of the world, and kill all humans. If you've never read a new mutants comic book though, you can find this to be a bit confusing.
