In August's New Mutants #29, artist David Lafuente joins writers Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning to send the New Mutants on a mission through each realm of the World Tree.
"The New Mutants have a direct line to the Norse gods via Dani. We honestly can't believe what they're letting us do to the team do Fear Itself," Abnett and Lanning said in a join statment. "We can't give it all away, but we're taking our heroes to hell... and Hel... and back!"
Here's how Marvel describes the story:
"The darkest forces of the Nine Worlds have been left unchecked in the wake of the Serpent's attack on Earth and Odin's protectors need every warrior they have to combat them. As the rest of the X-Men band together to defend San Francisco from The Worthy's unstoppable rampage, the New Mutants are going to find themselves pulled out of their home turf and into a conflict far beyond the scale of anything ever encountered."
