The Forever line of books are pretty interesting in that they answer the question of “What if writer X had never left this title?” I think they fall short in not reuniting the entire creative team as surely both writer, penciler and inker combined are what made these particular eras great, no? Regardless, Marvel is now giving you the opportunity to see what would have happened had Chris Claremont not left the New Mutants as regular writer with issue #54. Here’s a preview of what issue 55 could have been like.
Marvel is pleased to present your first look at New Mutants Forever #1, from New York Times best-selling author Chris Claremont and fan favorite artist Al Rio! When their headmaster Magneto joins the Hellfire Club, the New Mutants have no choice but to ally themselves with the Black Queen, Selene! Picking up where he left off, Claremont teams with series co-creator Bob McLeod, and the legendary Bill Sienkiewicz, to bring fans a series no New Mutants fan can miss. This August, experience the New Mutants like never before in New Mutants Forever #1!
