new mutants Archives

By Jared Cornelius   Welcome back to Valiant Effort, my look at the Valiant Comics universe.  The rules are simple, it's like Thunderdome, "two men enter", "one man leaves."  I'm kidding, it's not like that at all.  I take one of the current Valiant Comics series, and recommend you read it based on other pieces of media you might[...]

    From Rob Liefeld's table in Artist's Alley at New York Comic Con, he's charging $10 to sign copies of New Mutants and X-Force, $20 for the first appearance of Cable and Deadpool, and $20 for CGC's copies Of course, considering signed copies go for the likes of this, I'd say that's pretty fair, wouldn't you?

When we flagged this auction for your attention a couple weeks ago, I was expecting a strong result — but this sale has re-written the record book for Copper Age Marvel comics:  The first and only CGC 10.0 copy of New Mutants #98 – the first appearance of Deadpool — written by Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza and drawn by Liefeld, has just[...]

There's been a lot of talk among collectors over the past week about the strong selection in the just-opened Comiclink focused auction — and bidding has been heated on a number of books right out of the gate — but it's a rather interesting lot that has captured my attention on the opening evening of[...]

This one's a little open to interpretation, but the forum is having fun putting it together: Bryan Singer and members of the X-Men: Days of Future

Rob Liefeld has been sharing the art he did for a fill-in issue on New Mutants before he became the penciller on the title, which was fully pencilled and inked but never published In which he draws New Mutant character Warlock as if he was a Tex Avery Toon And at one point attempting an inter-company crossover[...]

Yep, we probably had 5 to 10 copies of New Mutants 98 during that time, and then just dumped them on the market in the mid '90s when we sold the duplicates in our collection…but those copies had to go somewhere.

The New Mutants comes to the end of its run before the Marvel NOW! clear out So what would you do? That's right, have a party… everyone is invited from aliens to demons to demi-gods to, well, humans Radical choice that last one Shame the Disir couldn't bring a bottle… full of pain, tears and[...]

But if it;s like an Avengers superpower, then the whole flying thing is pretty good… You can't beat swooping around, that looks like it might be fun. Basically that's the superpower of Doug Ramsey, Cypher of the New Mutants… You can hear the interview here [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHNh3rLsZSM[/youtube] [...]

And to think I had initially doubted AVX VS #4. TOTALLY CALLED IT I've been picking up the hints towards an eventual "Dark Cypher Saga" in DnA's work for months now, and NEW MUTANTS #45-46 is where it all finally comes to a head as Future Doug Ramsey strikes the team through the older time-travelling refugees Cannonball[...]

NEW MUTANTS #43 wraps up the crossover between this book and JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY with an unlikely botched polygamous wedding between an Asgardian hero and an army of zombie valkyries! It's been an entertaining self-contained little story, successfully incorporating elements from both books and managing to keep a unified voice and look thanks to all[...]

Looks like Marvel is getting a pottymouth of its own. In New Mutants #17, set in a hellish Limbo, there is a demonic language spoken by a number of participants Here are four examples.
