Set Description:
This is the only other New Mutants set I want to complete.
The New Mutants series was languishing away slowly in readership up until the point where Rob Liefeld took over artistic duties on it.
At the time, Rob was a revolutionary talent and garnered quite a positive reaction to his treatment of the characters. Not to mention, his creation of Cable, X-Force and Deadpool have been praised universally as some of the most popular modern original characters created!!
Whether you approve of Rob, his art or his attitude nowadays, this portion of my favorite comic book series stands among some of the most significant modern books in recent memory.
This set is also significant in that it contains all of the second and third printings, which is cool for the completist in me. :)
All but one of these is 9.8, and the only one that is not 9.8 is a triple signed 9.6 copy of the second print of #95, which is an extremely difficult book to achieve high grades on due to its gold metallic cover.
My copy of it is currently the single highest SS copy and triple signed to boot, so you won't see me complaining.
