Not sure how I felt about this issue’s events. Stevie Hunter took the young mutants (who don’t have full control over their powers) out in public. Then some guy comes in and they trust him enough to do what he says? I did like the fact that when the New Mutants were battling the Sentinels, you could see that it was uncoordinated, unlike the X-Men. They don’t work as a team quite yet and I’m excited to see that aspect develop.

Dani in the mansion is great, with her surviving the Danger Room’s holographic nightmare. But the sentinels in this are… lacklustre. I actually kind of like the blue colour scheme, but it isn’t nearly so iconic as the purple. But there wasn’t much to this, just more of the same sentinel story that’s been told before. Of course, it will be leading up to a bigger story arc later on, but here it isn’t super interesting.

A lot of building just for a quick one page reveal. Hoping this gets going soon.

A definite improvement over #1, in no small part due to things happening. The art is still rough, but Claremont's legendary scripting is starting to show. Liking what I'm seeing...

5 stars for the amazing artwork, love how the sentinels are drawn here with the colors.
Dani is going thru the danger room that has its safety interlocks off, and she’s trying to survive.
We see the NM come out of the theater when Gyrich’s team come to take the mutants. They resist, and appear to have won, until the sentinels show up. NM neutralize the threat and head back to find Dani laying in the danger room.
Charles is asleep in his study while a Brood Queen hovers over him.
