New Warriors Appreciation

[Timber Wolf-By-Night]

I would give me right arm for Fabian to write another New Warriors series. I would so sad when he left the book. All the character and power development just vanished as soon as he went.

He's right though, the lack of respect the New Warriors book gets is outstanding. Even in comics, Ms Marvel laughs at Nova when he mentions that he was part of the Warriors. They saved the world multiple frigging times!!! How can they "not be a team"!!

I'm guessing that New Warriors is Marvel's equivalent to DC's JLI: An early 90's team book that was applauded by both critics and audiences, but apparently was, behind the scenes, hated by most of editorial and creative. I dimly remember the first relaunch, under Jay Faerber, insisted on redesigning everybody's costumes even though a new NOVA series was launched at the same time featuring Nova in a minor variation of his usual costume, as well as excluding Dwayne Taylor until the very early end of its run (and in a very different, non-armored costume that never appeared elsewhere, which Faerber explained as being because he hated the Night Thrasher armor).

Well......THE CLONE CONSPIRACY: OMEGA reveals more of the aftermath from DEAD NO MORE.......so, anybody have any thoughts regarding both Ben Reilly(/Jackal) and Kaine(/Scarlet Spider)...??

It's gonna be a long hard road back for both of them, especially given they've been reset to their 90s Clone Saga dynamic (Ben on the run, Kaine chasing him wherever he goes) but who's the good guy and who's the bad guy reversed. That, and both of them are in the throes of clone degeneration, so it looks like neither of them has that much left in the way of time.

Let's hope Sam wins his court case regarding the surveillance system he used to prove Rage innocent. If he wins, that video would become admissible evidence and Rage would be exonerated and released.

And now, the Aftermath (and consequences) of Rage's Trial; via these Preview Pages from SAM WILSON: CAPTAIN AMERICA #20.

The Warriors copped the blame for Civil War 1 again in this week's Jessica Jones. When will people learn that Nitro was the culprit?

Probably never; since the NWs were still held responsible for both having the battle in Stamford and underestimating Nitro (especially since his powers were enchanced).

[Michael Watkins]

technically, the superhero community took the blame for it. Johnny Storm wound up in the hospital because Stamford made all powered individuals persona non grata. Robbie was made an example of because he survived the blast.

You know, that really makes me hope Nova finally brings Namorita home. She was in space last we saw, but then Rich got killed off and that was that. So she probably doesn't even know Civil War happened (she's from an era pre-Heroes Reborn)! Her reaction will be interesting... especially since her cousin Namor is ALSO a pariah, for his actions related to the incursions. Her interactions with the Champions (she'd probably have a similar reaction to Rich) and the O5 X-Men (who are time displaced just like she is) would be interesting to see too. Cyclops especially, since he's part of both.

Unfortunately, if the current Novas run is any indication, Loveness has no desire to re-introduce Namorita .

Now, there's no guarantee that the writer wouldn't re-introduce Nita; especially since he's starting the series with the most recent adventures that involved the histories of Rich Rider......so unless Loveness (and/or Marvel) says otherwise; let's just be patient and see the adventures of Rich (and Sam) flow throughout this series.

.....Although this poster can't deny that it would be better to see Rich with the New Warriors (doesn't matter which team's line-ups IMHO) again soon.

[Digifiend]

Yeah, we don't know what's planned past the first arc yet. You say there's no indication that he plans to bring her back, well, there's no indication that he doesn't either. Considering that Rob Rider, Rich's brother, was last seen in the same place as Namorita, he'd definitely have a very good reason to seek them out. Rob needs informing that Dad is dead.

He killed off Jack Flag, would he go as far as to kill Rage too ?

....Let's hope not.....but you never know with what's currently happening within the SW: CA Series.

What a rough issue of Cap. The parallel themes running through these stories are amazing.
