Matt ParentHOST
That's the biggest thing, Jonathan.
Matt ParentHOST
Jonathan's also in New Mutants on Crickola a little bit.
Matt ParentHOST
He's going to follow around Gabby for a while.
Matt ParentHOST
Um...
18 MINS LATER
Allison ParentHOST
the Micronauts the little guys that shrink down and do stuff?
Matt ParentHOST
Yeah, but someday we'll have to read the X-Men versus the Micronauts or X-Men Micronauts and you'll be like, this is some of the worst stuff we've ever read.
Allison ParentHOST
Is it worse than the motorcycles in New Mutants?
Matt ParentHOST
I think those are equivalent.
JamieHOST
This is great.
JamieHOST
When I first started playing with X-Factor, I thought Havoc was the sunspot to New Mutants, where I'm like, it's his fourth threat.
JamieHOST
He's not very good.
JamieHOST
I'm going to leave him behind.
Jim ZubGUEST
But if I have to narrow it right down, it's the Asgardian Wars.
Jim ZubGUEST
So it's those two connected annuals of Uncanny X-Men and New Mutants where they go to Asgard and they have fantasy and sword and sorcery versions of themselves.
Jim ZubGUEST
Arthur Adams is the artist.
Jim ZubGUEST
It's him at his absolute peak of his powers.
Amabel HollandGUEST
Yeah, and then I, you know, read some comics sometimes, some newspaper strips, some comic books.
Amabel HollandGUEST
You know, how I came into board games is I was looking for back issues for New Mutants, which is a spinoff of the X-Men, and went into a comic book store, went to the basement, and there's all these board games I hadn't heard of with designer's name on the box.
Amabel HollandGUEST
So that's.
Sen-Foong LimHOST
That's awesome.
Sen-Foong LimHOST
New Mutants also changed my life just in terms of I started collecting comics when I was a kid and I had read like all the DC comics, very standard superhero comics, you know, X-Men in the 60s and 70s, very standard.
Sen-Foong LimHOST
But then Bill Sienkiewicz.
Sen-Foong LimHOST
blew my brain out.
Amabel HollandGUEST

EdHOST
The outliers themselves should have already moved on to their own solo book.
EdHOST
They should have the New Mutants book that's going on currently because those characters now are past the point of just being babysat, which is happening in this book way too often for me.
EdHOST
I don't want to see Sarah Gaunt back again.
EdHOST
We dealt with her already.
HillaryHOST
spooky thing that you could do at the library? Well, thanks for joining me this time.
HillaryHOST
We're going to be talking about the Demon Bear Saga of the New Mutants comics from way back in the 80s.
HillaryHOST
New Mutants numbers 18 through 20.
HillaryHOST
This came out April through June in 1984.
HillaryHOST
And this is kind of the first and I think most notable big story of The New Mutants.
HillaryHOST
Everybody knows the Demon Bear saga if they know anything about The New Mutants.
HillaryHOST
This was written by Chris Claremont.
HillaryHOST
It was pencils by Bill Sienkiewicz.
JohnHOST
Yeah, so next week, and I just reread these.
JohnHOST
So we've got the New Mutants Annual and the X-Men Annual that are collectively known as the Asgardian Wars.
JohnHOST
I did go ahead and reread the X-Men Alpha Flight two-part story that was... that set this story up.
JohnHOST
I will say, of the two two-issue stories, to me, the New Mutants X-Men story is far superior to the X-Men Alpha Flight two-issue series.
JohnHOST
I get it.
JohnHOST
I get it.
CullenHOST
Yeah, we'll talk more about it.
CullenHOST
I thought there
J.A. ScottHOST
And then she shows up as the seven-year-old in Uncanny X-Men for a while in the run-up to this.
J.A. ScottHOST
And also in the first couple of issues of New Mutants, a big friend of Kitty Pryde and obviously the sister of Colossus.
Andy LarsonHOST
I was just curious, and maybe we'll get that to the second half of today's program when we actually go into the book.
Andy LarsonHOST
But there's like one of the issues.
Andy LarsonHOST
It's like a fast forward and like the New Mutants are there.
Andy LarsonHOST
And Sam's like, oh, look, it's magic.
Andy LarsonHOST
But she looks younger than she was.
Andy LarsonHOST
And I was just like, when did she join the New Mutants? I feel like you and Chad can unpack all of that.
DaveHOST
It's way after.
DaveHOST
But it also crosses over with New Mutants, Daredevil, Thor, and X-Factor.
MattHOST
Are we doing all that? I think
DaveHOST
we're reading the whole thing, yeah.
MattHOST
I kind of want to get it.
MattHOST
The
DaveHOST
initial trade paperback was Uncanny X-Men 210 to 214, X-Factor 9 to 11, and New Mutants 46.
DaveHOST
Yeah.
