Its good to have friends...

So I picked up issues 5 and 6 from the original New Mutants series at my LCS not too long ago. I dont normally collect NM but they featured the Silver Samurai who I do really like so I figured why not. The stories were good enough to suck me in and the art was good too. While the Silver Samurai storyline wrapped up nicely, there was a subplot that left me hanging. First off, someone was in Karmas head talking smack saying...I have come to claim you, body and soul, forever...and then the whole island the team was on just blows up. Now Im thinkin...uh, what happened to the team, and who was the dude after Karma?

Of course I went where anyone seeking answers to New Mutants folklore would go...Tnerb, help me out my friend. He says...check out bagofleas set, he has great descriptions and pictures of every issue. So I went to bagofleas set as instructed...Tnerb was right, very thorough descriptions. I read the descriptions for the next several issues, but no news about Karma. What the heck? I went back to Tnerb who says issues 20 through 31 are the pay off issues for the Karma subplot. I cant believe Claremont would make readers wait for more than a YEAR to find out the fate of Karma...not cool Chris. Lucky for me, I dont have to wait. Even better, Tnerb gave me copies of all these issues and then some. Tnerb, I am very grateful for your generosity and look forward to reading these stories that have meant so much to you.

Til next time...
