Product Description
Someone - or something - is haunting the halls of the Xavier Institute, and it's up to the X-Men-in-training to get to the bottom of it! Can the New Mutants find a way to bring peace to this tortured being before they become the tortured? Plus: David Alleyne, a.k.a. Prodigy of the New Mutants, can absorb the skills and knowledge of anyone close by, but is doomed to forget everything as soon as they're gone. So what would happen if he could keep that knowledge instead of forgetting? He'd be the smartest kid in the world, right? Is it too much of a good thing? Collects New X-Men: Academy X #7-11.

 New X-men Haunting March 24, 2007
Paul Jutras (Florida, USA)

Each trade of New X-men gets better than the last. This one deals with the younger sister of the mental mutant David visiting her older brother at Professor X's school and wishing to be a mutant herself so she could go to such a cool school. The only problem with her stay is that the ghost of one of the mutant students killed in a previous issue attack is now haunting the school and trying to scare new students away so that they won't suffer as he had.
Good Read November 27, 2006
J. Woods (Moscow Mills MO USA)
The book is a little slow but keeps your interest. If you liked vol. 1 you'l like vol two it is a little better but still seting things up.
Great Buy July 12, 2006
If you aren't the most hardcore fan of the X-Men, this is the title for you. With great characters, awesome writers and wicked superpowers, this title is the best. Haunting is a bout a disturbance in the mansion and how the New Mutants Squad reacts to it. If you are looking for some entertaining reading, buy this book.
 Pretty good teen-oriented plot June 6, 2006

I have to take exception with the previous reviewer. I thought this graphic novel was a reasonably entertaining teen superhero drama set in Xavier's Institute for the Gifted. The graphic novel collects several individual stories. And, maybe the universe isn't being saved, but I enjoyed the stories...and this series in general.
As for the artwork, well, there are different STYLES of artwork, and our illustrious previous reviewer clearly does not like the style. I actually think it works pretty well, which is just one of the reasons I keep buying this series.
