New Mutants Epic Collection #1
The New Mutants Epic Collection #1 kicks off with a bold new chapter as Moira, believing the X-Men are gone, pushes Xavier to recruit a new generation of mutants—starting with a young girl who can transform into a wolf. With Xavier reaching out to gifted teens, they’re soon hunted by soldiers under Donald Pierce’s command, leading to a tense showdown in Kentucky where Sam Guthrie, misled and aggressive, attacks the team. Chris Claremont’s gripping story, illustrated with precision by Bob McLeod and colored by Glynis Wein, captures the birth of a team forged in crisis. The cover by Bob McLeod perfectly frames the moment the New Mutants truly begin.
