I don't think I've read those -- the art is manga-esque?
I'm quite enjoying The New Mutants. There's a book that was thoroughly ruined, but so far the revamp is a graceful "next generation" scenario.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Nope, not in the way I think of manga (like Jill Thompson's style). Don't bother reading them -- the artwork seems ok until the artist decides suddenly to draw a character grotesque and the story is illogical, poorly conceived shit.

Is there a release date on the Firefly DVDs?
Amazon.com and others list the release date as 12/9/03 (same date that Buffy Season 5 comes out).
Just to let everyone know, the last Buffy monthly comic will hitting the stores tomorrow. Issue #63, the fourth part of "A Stake to the Heart" ends the regular monthly. You'd think Dark Horse would let the series end at a nice round number, like say 65 or 70, rather than 63.
Also, the collected edition of Fray should be in the stores, with a suggested retail price of $19.95 for the TPB.

I agree with the New Mutants...
Cypher killers? I wouldn't have minded so much if they hadn't killed him over the friggin' Bird Man! That never showed up ever again!
I love Louise Simonson, she does good work, but she and New Mutants just didn't mesh well...

Oh, X-Statix is also another interesting X title, in a post modern sort of way...

Thanks, Jeff!

So, I bought an Ultimate X-Men tpb (I'm sure they had X-Statix, but my comic book shop is expanding, and things were in disarray over the weekend), and like it quite a bit. I know most of y'all have bitched about their problems over the years, but are any of the Buffy titles worth reading? I have all the Frays and the Tales of the Slayers, both of which I'm so-so on.
