As Fear Itself consumes the entire planet, the fate of the Marvel Universe rests with the New Mutants! This August, acclaimed artist David Lafuente joins writers Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning to send the New Mutants on a mission through each realm of the World Tree, in this August’s New Mutants #29! The darkest forces of the Nine Worlds have been left unchecked in the wake of the Serpent’s attack on Earth and Odin’s protectors need every warrior they have to combat them. Could Dani Moonstar and her teammates be just the weapon they need to turn the tide of battle?

“The New Mutants have a direct line to the Norse gods via Dani. We honestly can’t believe what they’re letting us do to the team do Fear Itself,” said DnA. “We can’t give it all away, but we’re taking our heroes to hell... and Hel... and back!”

As the rest of the X-Men band together to defend San Francisco from The Worthy’s unstoppable rampage, the New Mutants are going to find themselves pulled out of their home turf and into a conflict far beyond the scale of anything ever encountered. Get in on all the action this August, only in New Mutants #29!

[Colossal Spoons]

When did Sunspot get he ability to shoot blasts from his hands?

 

[El Bastardo]

Hasn't he always had that ability, after he got in full control of the development of his powers?

I'm pretty sure I remember him being able to do that back in the old days Nicieza/Loeb X-Force.

Well, maybe not to that degree, so chalk it up to artistic interpretation and further development of powers! Sunspot rules, fools.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I like how he's given hand blasts before invulnerability. The x-writers are trolling him lol

 

[El Bastardo]

Write english, man!

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Ha, fixed you swine

 

[Generation Lee]

Just realised something, Jean dies Rachel comes back, Rachel gets lost in space put in Limbo Hope comes into comics now Cable is dead and now his AOA counterpart is running around again. That is the problem with certain characters although they become independent and have they're own development etc they still get used to replace the original. But I have to say I never read X-Man in anything it will be interesting to see what is done with him. I liked Cable in his recent solo book but burnt out powers and Daddy issues have been done to death hoing that DNA will tie up loose ends properly and not tread over tired ground.

 

[El Bastardo]

I just hope Nate isn't as written as poorly as Paul Cornell wrote him in Dark X-Men.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Yeah, Dark X-Men was pretty bad for Nate

 

[Havok83]

Wow, what an amazing first issue! Im already loving what the new creative team has to offer. Dani as offical leader...LOVE it!

 

[Havok83]

The new issue is out? number 26, right? This is all post X stuff, right?

No current issue is 25

As for the issue, did Scott really need an entire squad of X-men backing him up ready to take out Illyana? What did he think she would do, be upset him demoting her and try to kill him? That scene seemed completey unnecesary. She showed that she was willing to cooperate and wasnt a threat. If she wanted to, she could kill all of them within seconds

FEAR ITSELF TIE-IN
The New Mutants fight the scariest beings you never knew existed! The events of Fear Itself aren’t confined to our reality so when strange forces take Hel over from its ruler Hela, it’s up to Dani Moonstar to fulfill her role as Valkyrie and save the day. Her teammates are afraid of what will happen if Dani does this alone, but will they abandon the X-Men as Juggernaut destroys San Francisco?

FEAR ITSELF TIE-IN
Hel ain’t a bad place to be…unless it’s been overrun by forgotten horrors and ancient gods, clamoring to swallow all creation. Then it kinda sucks. While the events of Fear Itself tear the world apart, Dani Moonstar has followed the calling of her Valkyrie blood to the Viking underworld to save the queen of the dead. Can the rest of the New Mutants make it to Hel in time to save her and the souls of Valhalla from total Oblivion?

[Colossal Spoons]

A Dani arc? Haha, I'll skim it.

 

[Havok83]

Please finally give Dani some powers back. I hope this is permanent

 

[El Bastardo]

Spoons hopes she dies.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

You bet

[El Bastardo]

Why?

Zeb Wells wrote a fine Doug and Warlock. If good stories can be told, the character fits.

 

[Havok83]

I like this new direction, but I'm not sure I like that they've brought all these dead mutants back to life. Ramsey was actually more interesting dead, and Warlock, he was just a fun cutesy character that now doesn't fit too much. I guess that's why he doesn't speak much. They should just focus on Bobby, Sammy, and Dani. And yes, she's Native American, but a bow and arrow? I don't think that's necessary. It doesn't look like it's special anyway. They should just give her a rifle, or a shotgun. Deadpool has guns. Why can't Mirage have one too? She had one in the Young X-Men #2. I thought that was cool.

Bow and arrow is her signature weaponry. I miss the days when she could shoot psychic arrows. She doesnt need to have guns. Thats pretty generic. She's fine with the arrows

I kinda agree on Doug and Warlock. I wasnt a fan of what Zeb did with Doug and hated how he wrote him. I didnt think he should have survived past Necrosha. But since he's here, Id just keep him as a secondary character like Karma. He should be put to use controling their computer systems and providing tech support. Warlock doesnt feel quite as fun and unique as he did in the 80s. He doesnt seem to quite fit anymore. I'd utilize him in a limited capacity

 

[Specter313]

1. As others have said, she's very proud of her heritage, so the bow and arrow fits, especially since it used to be a part of her powers.

2. Forge is dead.

 

[chamber-music]

If you think Dani Moonstar is offensice now you should read the early issues of the New Mutants.

I like Doug they actually made his powers work in a way thats rather cool. Warlock on the other hand they should ditch. Perhaps put Warpath on the team his not up to much these days I think.
