New Mutants

I also included a lot of Magik material to catch the reader up to speed with her life. In all honesty besides the first mini series and the Uncanny X-Men issue the rest of the mini series are not that great but you can’t have the New Mutants without a little bit of Magik!

You can also begin the volume with the following issues.

I Forgot about these (Thanks Thulsa Doom)
