Tpull's Weekly Marvel Comics Review Part 1 Film Fodder

13.06.10

The Resourcefulness is gone, and in its place stands this new academy. All of the �students� had already been approached by Osborn when he was in charge of things, but now Hank Pym, Tigra and Equitableness are gathering these kids in one place, starting their own version of the New Mutants. Add in Speedball and Quicksilver as instructors, and seemingly the purpose is to groom them to be the next wave of super-heroes.

There is a lot of good news with this new series. Gage is adept enough to give each instructor his or her own reason for being there, and sharing it with the reader. McKone�s style lends itself well to featuring a team of minor heroes, as his line style tends to have a look that translates into �young.� Thanks to some lip-reading, though, the innocent heroes-in-training have their suspicions raised, and it leads them to hack into the computers. There, they learn that they are not the hand-picked cream of the crop, as Pym and the others have told them. Rather, they are the ones who have been analyzed as the most at jeopardy to turn into villains.
