New Mutants #3 – Vol. 3 – 2009

New Mutants #3 from Vol. 3 (2009) is a gripping continuation of the revitalised mutant title, bringing classic characters back into the spotlight under the guidance of writer Zeb Wells and artist Diogenes Neves. This issue is part of the “Return of Legion” storyline, which helped re-establish the New Mutants as a vital team in the wider X-Men universe, with a narrative steeped in psychological depth, emotional tension, and high-stakes action.

At the core of this chapter is Legion, the unstable and incredibly powerful mutant son of Professor Charles Xavier. His fractured mind and unpredictable abilities make him one of the most dangerous individuals in mutantkind—and this issue dives deep into the complexities of his persona. The New Mutants team, including fan favourites like Cannonball, Sunspot, Magik, Karma, and Dani Moonstar, must confront the horror that Legion presents as his personalities manifest as independent entities with their own agendas.

Diogenes Neves’ artwork delivers a dynamic mix of visceral action and haunting intensity. His clean lines and detailed character work pair seamlessly with Zeb Wells’ razor-sharp writing, which balances nostalgia with modern stakes. The team dynamic is put to the test, and the issue does an excellent job of reminding readers why these characters remain essential in mutant lore.

Perfect for readers invested in the mutant mythos, especially those fascinated by the darker, more cerebral corners of the X-Men universe. Whether you're collecting for story, character, or run completion, this issue is a key piece of the puzzle.
