What little I've read (well remembered, about ten years ago I went on a massive X-Book binge reading every single issue of every single X-Book and X-Book character appearance up until, probably, Reloaded in about a month, it was way, way too much.) of New Mutants has been either a few scattered Claremont issues (really good), the most recent (?) Zeb Wells stuff (also quite good), the Weezy stuff (not good at all) or the Weird/Defillips run (low key but really enjoyable).
