You Don't Read Comics - David Harth
Feb 19, 2020New Mutants #7 takes what could have been a by the numbers issue and stands the whole thing on its head in the best way possible. It's plain to see how much fun Hickman is having writing this issue because it's that much fun to read. Rod Reis's art is great, referencing classic New Mutants stylings while still keeping it his own. This issue is a treat. Read Full Review

AIPT - Ryan Pagella
Feb 19, 2020The New Mutants has always been about the relationship between these friends since they were teenagers. Seeing Mirage, Karma, Wolfsbane, Cypher, Cannonball and Sunspot all interact with each other like they did in their original run was nostalgic and hit all of those wonderful heartstrings. It is a story about friendship, and especially that between Cannonball and Sunspot. It's been many years since we have been able to see the dynamic between these two mutants. While the story is clunky, I am willing to push that aside to typical Shi'ar bullsh*t, because the character interactions in this are far too wonderful to miss. Read Full Review

Mar 02, 2020It's nice to have a bit of a light hearted read from time to time" it's even better when we can get that levity with characters that we love just doing their thing. It feels like this is more of a quiet point in a story line that could get a bit more frantic" but that just means this is a nice issue to slip into the story. Get to know the characters a little/more and have a fun read while you are at it. Worth picking up. Read Full Review

Comics: The Gathering - Ryan.L
Feb 20, 2020Overall this was one amazing issue that completely raises the bar. It was so exciting and fun and really gets me excited for more in the series. I haven’t laughed this hard reading a comic in ages, I highly recommend this one. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Steve Batley
Feb 23, 2020Overall I have to say for me the risqu nature of the delivery this issue was genius. Though the humour could have seemed heavy handed and not in keeping, it was a delightful change from all the nation building drama and death going on, necessary as it is. This sweet sappy dessert is the perfect antidote to the heavy meal served up in the other Dawn of X titles. Read Full Review

Beyond The Panel - Jideobi Odunze
Feb 19, 2020It's through issues like New Mutants #7 where we are really seeing this variety they said we should be getting from every X-Book. New Mutants is fun, endearing, though knows when to get real when it matters. A well-rounded book that I would recommend as much as Marauders for the very same reasons. Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - besottedgeek
Feb 19, 2020NEW MUTANTS #7 was another fun entry into the Jonathan Hickman side of the series. Just when the story begins to loll Hickman injects some humor, often at the expense of comics tropes, to lighten the mood. Its a shame we cant get this team for every issue, but its worth checking out when we do. Read Full Review

Feb 20, 2020Though kind of oddball and madcap series compared to the rest of "Dawn of X," New Mutants #7 brings some new charm to the nostalgia of the original team. Read Full Review

Feb 22, 2020Jonathan Hickman has a lot of fun breaking the fourth wall in this issue, and it makes for a short and sweet wrap-up to an already entertaining story. Read Full Review

The Daily Fandom - Alex Smith-Petersen
Feb 28, 2020New Mutants is going to be fairly different going forward at the very least. Ed Brisson is now the sole writer, and the two teams are being mashed together instead of being split. If nothing else, I'm interested to see the new direction coming out of this weird start. Hickman will continue writing the core X-Men series, as well as the Giant-Size one-shots, which function in their own unique way. Join me again next week as we enter Nova Roma! Read Full Review

Feb 20, 2020On the positive side, enough good things can't be said about Rod Reis'art. Reis has been doing wonderful work throughout this book and hecontinues that here. The few battle sequences we get contain morecharacterization than should be possible in a few panels, and hisdepiction of visually distinct characters like Xandra, Sunspot,Deathbird and Rahne are fantastic.

Bobby is fun! His narration, his love for Deathbird, how he's not able to count, the spear. King recap. Crying Doug, Wolfsbane & the ball...

My favorite issue of this series. I'll miss Hickman writing sunspot and cannonball, but he left plenty of room for Brisson to play with the rest of the new mutants, hopefully Brisson is up to the challenge

Prelude: Hickman's side of New Mutants has been great so let's see how it goes this time. The Good: The meta jokes are back baby! Okay, that FIGHT! infographic? THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!! Hey, everyone is back here. Krakoan plants sure are handy. Reis' art was mostly good. The Bad: Bit of a douche move Bobby. Conclusion: Great issue, slightly diminished by Bobby's move at the end.

I said this would end up as a shaggy dog story, and indeed, here's the super-shaggy conclusion. Like all good shaggy doggers, it delivers enough humor to forestall any resentment over the story winding up pointless.

A nice conclusion to Hickman's work on this title, though I must say that I'm not sure how I feel about Bobby breaking the fourth wall to spoil the rest of the story after Issue 5. I would have liked to read that as a full issue, but I did enjoy the writing of it all, at least. Hickman found a really good voice for Bobby in this series and I hope it sticks around following his departure. It'll be a shame if Reis is also done with this series, as I always enjoyed just looking at the pages whenever it was something he drew.

New Mutants 7 is a solid finale to this series' opening arc. I wasn't a fan of that corny recap page, but other than that I love Hickman's portrayal of Bobby and Sam. Bobby and Sam's friendship carries this issue. However, Hickman does a horrible job at writing Wolfsbans, and the New Mutants' journey to space does kinda feel pointless. Great art though.

The recap while funny was just weird and didn't click with the story for me. The rest of the issue was a good finale. A bit rushed but still good, funny and action filled shenanigans. the art as always does not disappoint because Rod Reis is awesome!

This was okay but I'm not sure how I feel about the wall breaking conceit.

A fun end (albeit a little sloppy) to a fun arc. I think Hickman might've taken the Roberto recap joke a little too far this time but I still enjoyed this issue overall.

7.5
This book is easily the most fun you will have while reading the New Line of X Men Titles. But that rule is ONLY true when Hickman is writing the title, without him I fear deeply for these characters. Not sure how I felt about the fourth wall breaking it was in line with the pacing but I just thought it was border line too much like some of the humor. All good things in measure while I enjoy the funny tone of this comic I worry it mite just become too much and too kiddish like a bad Deadpool. This issue wasn't the strongest and I genuinely dont understand who Gladiator is as he is written entirely different by every writer who casts him but it was still a great fit with some funny moments mostly with Sunspot. Gotta say tho, I lov more

"DEATHBIRD!" I'm not a big fan of breaking the fourth wall but that recap and subsequent conversation with Dani was nothing short of hilarious. That was a great way to start an issue. The rest of the issue doesn't disappoint either. There's humor, there's an innovative fight sequence and then there's Bobby who is just a facepalm inducing machine. The space adventure is over but I'm pretty sure that Bobby will get Sam into another space shenanigans quite soon.

I'm not sure what to think of this issue. It was fun and clever, but ultimately it felt insubstantial. Easily my least favorite Hickman New Mutants.

Boy, I really didn't like how rushed this felt to close this arc. It could have been so much better if Hickman had cared. Sunspot's ego-centric personality gets old fast too.

I don't think this series is for me. And that's fine.

1.0
An absolute waste of time and money. This had been a Roberto Da Costa comic more than a New Mutants comic. Also the series has tried to be comical and meta from the beginning, but fails miserably on both counts. The alternate Ed Brisson story with Boom Boom and Armor was equally mediocre. Inexplicable.
