Night Thrasher 4 issue mini announced

[Riv86672]

I know, right?! Not a fan of the new helmet.

Either the OG version or the one from Four Control '92 would be my preference.

^^^Yup. The full face design’s the best look for Thrash.

[K7P5V]

^^^Yup. The full face design’s the best look for Thrash.

Now, that's the kind of headgear I've come to love. Thanks.

[Tony Stark]

Now, that's the kind of headgear I've come to love. Thanks.

Yeah you’re right. Not digging the new helmet, but will still give it a shot.

[kevlon]

^^^Not to be Debbie Downer but given Marvel’s track record w. things New Warriors related, I’ll rejoice after it’s out.

I was excited for this book and until you reminded me how Marvel has treated the New Warriors

^^^Sorry about that!

I wish Al Ewing was writing this.

[Riv86672]

I wish Al Ewing was writing this.

^^^That'd give me a warm & fuzzy glow of happiness.

[JudicatorPrime]

Oh. It's that one. The one who came up with "homo negrus superior".

He did what now??????

[Huntsman Spider]

I wish Al Ewing was writing this.

Yeah, I felt like Al Ewing was building up to something big when he brought back Night Thrasher, and then . . .

He did what now??????

Basically, "What if the 'X-gene' only manifested in people from the African diaspora, which would make anti-mutant bigotry overlap quite strongly with white supremacist bigotry?" I think it was supposed to be a commentary on how "mutants as metaphor for marginalized minority groups" has largely been an ironic excuse to marginalize mutant characters that come from minority groups that exist in real life, at least by some accounts, though the execution . . . to be somewhat diplomatic . . . left a lot to be desired.

So it was yet another "where the hell were the editors?!?!?!" thing?

Same here. Thrash appearing in Marvel Comics #1000 had me excited for his future...

I liked the idea. Thrash, Blue Marvel and Jimmy Woo as the Three Xs. Lot of possibilities with those 3.

Ha, yes.

Same.

[Emperorjones]

I'm interested. I only got into the character in Kevin Grevioux's New Warriors run, so I would like to see more of him.

I too wish that Ewing wrote that 3X (or make it 5X - FX) series exploring the secrets of the MU.
Apparently, DC's new Outsiders series will do that. Thats the kind of thing I want from Marvel.
Not sure why it didn't happen. Didn't rise enough interest among editors and readers, I guess. For it to work, it would probably have to be the same old shit as usual, like Nick Fury, Black Widow and Black Panther.

I remember the last arc of Ewing's Champions was really rushed. He brought back Dwayne, had him do some cool things, but sent him back to Earth juste before the series' finale. I bet he initially planed to do a whole arc about him interacting with Robbie/Penance from that universe where Stark became president after Civil War.
