Having spent the majority of the day at work; I've now just gotten to reading Marvel's live blog on the new direction for the New Mutants. It seems in a very simplistic way of putting it...they're janitors. Cyclops is sending out Cannonball's team to clean up "messes" from the X-Men's past before they come back and bite them in the ass. Plus Cyke's looking for a the new leader of the X-Men among this team of mutants...my money's on Cypher.
Another thing of note is that New Mutants has a new creative team: Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning. I'm not familiar with they're previous work but if X-Editor Nick Lowe said he called them as soon as Zeb Wells (NM's former writer) said he was done....well they must be pretty good. Also the artist will be Leandro Fernandez...the man who did the teaser.
So lets get back to the New Mutants...and more importantly my boy Nate Grey. It seems that Nate's been hiding out and the NM are off to find him...because not only is his power lever OVER 9000 he's as Abbnet put it "X-Royalty". I like the way this guy thinks, and if i ever meet him i'll buy him a beer.
They also revealed that the romance between Dani and Sam will continue and that by the end of the first arc they're be a left field romance: my bet is Magik or Magma and Nate if he stays with the group. Also they plan to explore some more of the NM's romance that have been brewing over the years.
Wolfsbane, whose preggers with the Norse Wolf God's kid, won't be part of the squad but we will most likely see her again. Blink also seems to play a part and maybe she'll join the team by the end of the first arc.
Overall I was intrigued when i first saw the teaser and after reading the various transcripts...I'm still intrigued. As long as Nate's involved I'm there.
