This Is the New Mutants!
Not the -Ultimate X-Men Vol 8-. Danielle Moonstar returns, a reluctant but willing helper to Professor X ... only to be offered a job as a teacher as the Xavier Institute. Well worth the cost, this tale reunites her w/Karma & [tangentially] Magma, & showcases her essential humanity. Danielle is a reluctant co-worker-to-Prof-er-Charles, unconvinced of her effectiveness even as she talks a toxic ...

sweet, but not too mushy
I love Kitchen Princess. It's a great series for kids in their tweenish years and older. I am 40+ and my daughters, teenaged and almost, all really enjoyed it.

Excellent
I found this book to be even more than I expected out of it, being a comic and all.

Skinwalkers
It's an interesting mixture of the supernatural and crime drama. Every so often the story pauses for a cultural lesson and those are equally fascinating.

More than Amazing!
If you've been keeping up with the Amazing Agent Luna manga, you have a lot in store for you in this latest volume.

However, in this installment, Luna must focus more than ever on the ...

Check Out Checkmate, the Sequel
I reviewed Checkmate: A King's Game not too long ago, and I was pretty positive about it. There's a reason for that, and there's a reason the review for this book will be equally, if not more positive. That reason? Checkmate continues to be a great book. Volume 2, Pawn Breaks, deals with a couple different things left over from A King's Game - the mystery of Waller's hold on Fire and what ...

cool book
I like the book. The artwork was wonderful and the concept is new. I haven't read a good pirate book for a while since reading Captain Blood-which I also liked. I can't wait for Volume 2 to come out. I hope it comes out soon.

I don't know what that other idiot is talking about
Assuming you can stand an acknowledgement that yes, there are gay couples in the world, this is a very good little graphic novel that captures the feel of a family gathering very well. It definately reminds me of the last three I've been to! By the end you do feel like you know this family and can identify with the main character's conflicting feelings of love and frustration with them. The ...

best academy x title so far
collects issue #16-19. i've been fairly disappointed with defillips/weir's run on new mutants v.3/new x-men academy x, but this is the best arc so far. as you prob. know, this title is part of the house of m series which, b/c of the scarlet witch's powers running amok, is basically a chance for marvel to write some "what if?" stories into their main books. in this instance magneto has overcome ...

As It Says.... AMAZING!!
At first, even despite the beautiful artwork, I rolled my eyes. "Oh, great, another 'girly secret agent' manga." I thought. And, well, it kinda' is. But it's also more than that! I found the characters cute and believable, the story one that you don't want to put down, and (as I mentioned before) the artwork gorgeous. Yes, some of it is a tad silly and unrealistic--but what secret ...

A great book.
It is basically a B&W comic book. Its like a cross between a female Indiana Jones and a ghost story. I liked it.

The drama heats up
This book held my interest so well that I finished it in one sitting. The drama heats up, there's a school dance, and the art is finally consistently good in this book. And as shown on the back cover, The Blob attacks. The back contains a nice 'Yearbook' section that gives short descriptions of all the mutants at the academy. The book that follows this one is the M-Day: New X-Men graphic ...

Once in a Blue Moon
WOW - What a terrific story! The authors really know how to layout a story that it interesting, suspenseful and one that kids can relate to while enjoying fantasy. I bought this as a gift for my nephew and he loved it so much, I bought 4 more to give as gifts and they are all big hits! I have been asked: When will Volume II be out? I don't know. When? This would make a terrific movie.

Great series that doesn't get enough attention
I really think that this is one of the most under appreciated of all the X-Men books. For those that don't know, New X-Men: Academy X is a continuation of Marvel's New Mutants series that premiered in 2003. It was relaunched as New X-Men: Academy X so it could be a part of the big X-Men reload event. The writers of New X-Men: Academy X do a good job of keeping the series accessible to readers who ...
