This is easily my most anticipated issue of any Siege tie-in: one of my favorite new books, one of my favorite new writers, and one of the best artists who doesn’t work enough all getting together for one issue! That’s right – New Mutants this week will be written by Kieron Gillen and drawn by Niko Henrichon! With a cover by Terry Dodson (whose covers I really enjoy, if not his interiors most of the time) and a great plot (in which Dani becomes one of Hela’s Valkyrie’s to collect the dead from Siege), I can guarantee you this will be an issue you don’t want to miss. Be sure to check out this preview of the issue if for some reason you’re not convinced already to get it:
SIEGE BLOCKBUSTER TIE-IN!! Back in DARK AVENGERS/UNCANNY X-MEN:UTOPIA, Dani Moonstar made a deal with Hela. Now, the mistress of Hel is calling in her marker. With all the Asgardians falling in the Siege of Asgard, someone needs to deal with the dead. And who better to do so than a Valkyrie. But where is Dani supposed to be bringing these dead? Brought to you by a guest creative team of Kieron Gillen (THOR, S.W.O.R.D.) and Niko Henrichon (PRIDE OF BAGHDAD).
The issue comes out this week at a price of $2.99. Be sure to keep your eyes open for a review of it from yours truly!
