Xavier needs replacements for his precious X-Men, whom are missing and possibly dead, and pop, here come the new mutants. It has the story down, and the ideas, but it's merely barebones it's a Thanksgiving dinner without the turkey and stuffing. That being said, The New Mutants is sorely lacking in some of the wrong spots. I rarely find oldies like this for cheap in my town of all places, but there it was, right alongside an old Marvel Comics graphic novel adaptation of RoboCop 2. I was surprised when I found this in my local pawn shop.
