He’s been killed, depowered and resurrected and repowered more times than I can count, so excuse me for not being all THAT excited. But for those who missed him, Mags is back in part 1 of a 7 part epic called Nation-X…

I meant to post this last week… but was busy. If you’ve been reading New Mutants #1-4 you likely were at best disappointed and at worst livid at the average ordinary art and less than compelling inaugural adventure. Issue #5 which is really just a bridge between that arc and Necrosha which starts next issue. But It was more than that. I’ve heard a LOT of people who had dropped the book after issue 3 so I thought I’d give this some good press…
“The Calm” WARLOCK IS BACK! Everyone’s favorite alien is back on Earth, but why? Also, see the effects that UTOPIA had on Illyana and the rest of her crew and witness the most vicious fight ever to grace the pages of NEW MUTANTS. The combatants? Cannonball and Dani Moonstar.
My praise for the issue comes partially from characterization of Sam, Dani and Shan but even more so from the amazing imagery of artist Zachary Baldus whose painterly work looks like it was drawn and inked by by the love child of Bill Sienkiewicz and Paul Smith and the lovingly filled in with colored pencil by Jay Anacleto. Keep an eye out for Zachary Baldus he should be going places.
Cover art by Adam Kubert and Justin Ponsor.

Marvel should SERIOUSLY consider giving Baldus the book on a regular basis – his realistic yet abstract style is exactly what this title needs.

If the Necrosha issues are 1/2 as good as this they will be 5 times better than the first 4. If those first 4 stopped you from picking up #5 – then get over it and buy this issue. Zombie is the new black this fall as Doug Ramsey and the reanimated Hellions are showing up in issues 6 and 7.
