New X-Men: Academy X #6

The New Mutants and the Hellions collide in a battle over the fate of Kevin Ford! Part Six of ÒChoosing SidesÓ will see even more changes for the two squads, and at least one or two bruised egos. What began in this series as an overly simplified update of the Old New Mutants has become a fully-developed, well-conceived take with the potential for rivaling and even surpassing the old 80's series. Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir write solidly character-driven stories, while new penciller Michael Ryan, fresh off his run on Mystique, delivers a "pop" that somehow seemed missing the first few issues---give it a look!
