The New Mutants was a solid series, often dealing with far darker and mature themes than the X-Men did.... and the Bill Sienkiewicz run was amazing. When it was bad it was... really not good, but otherwise, I'd really recommend it.
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).
