Yo y'all. I've been following the New Mutants/New X-Men: Academy X since it started. When Reload went down and it changed to New X-Men, I switched over to trades, of which i've now collected everything leading up to the run with the new writers, and eagerly await THAT trade. But I can't find a TPB for the Hellions mini-series.
Anybody know if thats even been released yet?

Have to say I haven't seen one, as of yet. It was a limited series, rather than ongoing, so it might not have been put out.

Actually finally accquired issue 2, via eBay, yesterday. They sold out at my local store, and I've been trying to track it down. Not a bad series, and it's pretty clear why so manyof these made it past Decimation.

Is it normal sized or a digest?

A digest would probably sell quite well in the bookstores.

Normal-sized, but it's pretty slim.

I thought it was pretty good. The guy over at X-Axis, Paul O'Brien, brought up a really good point- because the Hellions mini focused more on an actual quest, a specific adventure with a defined beginning and end, it may have actually succeeded more than the regular NXM ongoing, which occasionally lacked focus. Personally, I liked both, but yeah, the mini was fun.

Yeah, I enjoyed it. I liked that it had Paladin.

I bought the first issue, which I suppose was alright, but I dropped the book because I thought I was spending too much money.

Had Nunzio and Christina been able to use the villains that they originally planned to use, then I would have bought the series regardless.
