☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Runaway," Bobby flees the New Mutants and tries to protect his new friend Chance from a gang, only to have his powers fail him at a critical moment. When Chance abandons him, he's pulled through a mysterious doorway by Ariel—just as Warlock arrives to help, leading the two on a dangerous path that unexpectedly draws them into the Fallen Angels. Written by Jo Duffy and illustrated by Kerry Gammill, with inks by Tom Palmer and colors by Petra Scotese, this 2011 issue captures the raw tension of youth, power, and survival on the streets. The cover, a striking collaboration by Kerry Gammill, Mike Mignola, Al Williamson, and Val Mayerik, sets the tone for a story where identity and allegiance are as unstable as the powers at play.
When Bobby Drake disappears after a tragic incident during a soccer game, the New Mutants are thrown into turmoil. With Magneto and Moira MacTaggert on the scene, and Warlock already on the trail, Bobby’s absence sends shockwaves through the team. Roaming the city alone, he crosses paths with the sharp-tongued Chance, and when she’s cornered by bullies, Bobby steps in—only to find his powers failing at the most critical moment.
When a sudden loss of power leaves Bobby stranded and his new friend Chance in danger, the two are pulled into a world of streetwise survival and shifting loyalties. As Warlock and Sunspot navigate the underground, a new alliance forms—only to be tested by the lure of a dangerous new path. Magneto, concerned for his missing students, sends Siryn and Multiple Man on a mission that leads them straight into the orbit of the Fallen Angels.
In "Every Card Is Wild," Sunspot and Warlock join the Vanisher’s Fallen Angels at the Beat Street Club, where they meet the enigmatic Gomi and his cybernetic creations, Don and Bill. As the team navigates their new dynamic, Ariel opens a portal to the X-Factor complex to retrieve Boom Boom, while Siryn and Multiple Man—determined to keep a close watch—decide to step into the fold.
Ariel's mysterious doorway opens into the Valley of the Flame, drawing the attention of the primitive Moonboy and his colossal, prehistoric companion, Devil Dinosaur—two powerful new recruits the Fallen Angels hope to bring into their ranks. With Sunspot, Warlock, and the rest of the team watching, the fate of these wild, untamed beings hangs in the balance as the group prepares to welcome them into their fractured circle.
In "Lost and Found," the Fallen Angels reunite at the Beat Street Club, only to find their powers growing unpredictable. With Devil Dinosaur and Moonboy now part of the team, tensions rise when Boom Boom and Gomi stumble upon a duplicate of Multiple Man living a separate life—refusing to return. As the group gathers to confront the situation, a tragic accident involving Devil Dinosaur and the cybernetic lobster Don throws their fragile unity into chaos.
The Fallen Angels seek refuge from their growing turmoil, fleeing the Beat Street Club for Ariel’s home world of the Coconut Grove. With tensions flaring after the loss of cybernetic lobster Don and Warlock’s sudden power failure, the team’s fragile unity is tested as they step into an alien paradise that may hold answers—or deeper dangers.
In "Triple Cross," the Fallen Angels—Sunspot, Warlock, Chance, Ariel, Boom Boom, Gomi, Bill, Multiple Man, Siryn, Moonboy, and Devil Dinosaur—arrive on Ariel’s home world, the Coconut Grove, a flamboyant entertainment planet where mutation is rare and society has grown stagnant. After a night of wild makeovers and reckless fun, their powers spiral out of control, shattering the illusion of safety—only to be ambushed when Ariel and Chance betray the team, revealing they’ve led them into a trap. Now captured by the enigmatic Unipar, who seeks to unlock the secrets of mutation through experimentation, the entire group, including the two traitors, face an uncertain fate.
In "Grownups and Children," the Fallen Angels—now powerless and imprisoned on the bizarre planet Coconut Grove—face a twisted experiment by the villain Unipar, who seeks to unlock the secrets of their mutant genetics. With only a cybernetic lobster, Bill, still free, leading the charge, the team fights to reclaim their strength and freedom, even choosing to free Ariel from captivity. As Unipar’s plans unravel, the Angels return to Earth, ready to rebuild—but not before Sunspot makes a surprising decision to rejoin the New Mutants, leaving behind the life of a villain he never wanted.
