About the author

Rob Liefeld is an American comic book writer, illustrator, and publisher. A prominent artist in the 1990s, he has since become a controversial figure in the medium.

In the early 1990s, self-taught artist Liefeld became prominent due to his work on Marvel Comics' The New Mutants and later X-Force. In 1992, he and several other popular Marvel illustrators left the company to found Image Comics, which rode the wave of comic books owned by their creators rather than by publishers. The first book published by Image Comics was Rob Liefeld's Youngblood #1.

He is married to actress Joy Creel.

This book collects the last part of Chris Claremont’s run on The New Mutants before he handed the reigns over to Louise Simonson and the New Mutants-adjacent Fallen Angels limited series, which I’ve been wanting to read for years as I just couldn’t find it here in the UK back in the day.

Re-reading the New Mutants stuff was great; a really nice trip down memory lane. The Fallen Angels mini was pretty good too but I did find it started to drag a little towards the end (six issues would have been a better length than eight) and it suffered a bit from constantly changing artists.

I like new mutants but 8 issues of fallen angels was a drag

I'm a sucker for these Epic Collections. 'Nuff said.

I didn't find myself really drawn to this book, though it wasn't bad either. I thought the stuff with warlocks dad was cool, but honestly everything else felt fairly forgettable.
