Chris Claremont

The New Mutants burst onto the scene as Professor Xavier's second generation of students, younger and more vulnerable than the X-Men who came before them. Chris Claremont and Bob McLeod introduce Cannonball, Mirage, Wolfsbane, Sunspot and Karma in Marvel Graphic Novel #4, then Bill Sienkiewicz joins as artist and transforms the series into something unprecedented — a mix of superhero action, teen drama and avant-garde visual storytelling. The Demon Bear Saga stands as one of the most artistically ambitious storylines in Marvel history, with Sienkiewicz's expressionistic painted art pushing the boundaries of what a mainstream comic could look like. This first omnibus collects issues #1-34 plus key tie-ins, covering the team's formation through their encounters with the Beyonder and the Hellions.
