Where it came from
The New Mutants #62, released in April 1988, serves as a pivotal entry in the X-Men mythos during the late 1980s. Written by Louise Simonson with artwork by Bret Blevins, the issue is part of a creative era that pushed the younger mutants toward darker, more mature themes. This specific period of the series is noted for transitioning the team away from the lighter, academic tone of Professor Xavier’s school and into the complex, often tragic landscape of global conflict.
The cover and interior pages showcase Blevins' distinctive, fluid style, which provided a stark departure from previous artists on the title. The story explores the volatile dynamics within the New Mutants as they navigate the fallout of the 'Fall of the Mutants' event. Readers and critics of the time responded positively to the emphasis on character-driven narratives and the interpersonal friction that would eventually lead to the group's evolution into the more militaristic X-Force.
