Where it came from
The New Mutants #59, released in early 1988, serves as a pivotal chapter during the tenure of writer Louise Simonson and artist Bret Blevins. This era of the series was characterized by a shift toward more complex, often darker interpersonal dynamics among the younger generation of mutants, moving away from the more traditional superhero team structures of the early 1980s. The issue specifically contributes to the 'Fallen Angels' narrative arc, which explored the team's fracturing as characters sought individual identities outside of Xavier's direct influence.
Bret Blevins, known for his expressive, slightly stylized approach to anatomy and composition, provided the interior art for this period. His work on this title was well-regarded for conveying the teenage anxiety and emotional volatility inherent in the characters' development. The cover and interior work reflected a transition period for Marvel's X-Men franchise, where the New Mutants were increasingly utilized to reflect the grittier, more rebellious tone of the late 80s comic book industry.
