Cover Blurb(s): There is no cover blurb, but the word "HELLIONS" is scrawled in large letters over the "New Mutants" logo, indicating a sort of forced new logo: "The New Hellions." This suggests the plot of this issue, in which the New Mutants are forced to become students of the White Queen at her Massachusetts Academy, where previously they have encountered a rival team of mutant trainees, the Hellions, trained by the White Queen (Emma Frost).; Also, there is a tiny word balloon in the corner box: Warlock says "Ohhh!" (apparently in response to the scene on the cover).
