How is Nova allowed to live after the number of people she's killed? The idea is never really explored further and the aftermath is just a new norm. Arguably the most catastrophic thing to happen to Mutants and it's done in 3 issues. The Jean/Emma/Scott story had the most involving the characters themselves, but the rest of the storylines are plot driven and high concept ideas and pushing character focus to the side in favor of wild Morrison ideas. Morrison's entire run felt so impersonal with the characters he's writing for. I get hat Morrison loves his high concept ideas, but it became the psychic show real quick.Ī rather impersonal story throughout. Too many psychics: between Prof, Emma, Jean, Nova, it was a LOT of mental stories that made them all seem redundant. The art, but that's quite obvious from consensus The two stories, Astonishing and New, could not be more different from one another. What I found was such a huge disappointment and a dated Morrison run. I am a big fan of Astonishing X-Men by Joss Whedon (one of, if not, THE best modern X-Men story to date), so I figured I'd read the story the preceded it, New X-Men, since it is so highly regarded.
