The New Warriors

[The Mandarin]

Anyone else picking this up? What do you think of it so far?

[Ben]

It's pretty good. I wouldn't fault someone for trade-waiting, though.

Me. The fact that Jubillie is back is reason enough to try this.

[Brad N.]

I really like it. I'm the first to admit that I wasn't too happy with the idea before but even then admitted to giving it a shot based solely on my love of the New Warriors. So far it's really good.

[InBendiswetrust]

It's giving me a Young Avengers vibe. I like that vibe.

Same here! Generation X for me was really; "JUBILEE!! and her assorted sidekicks", so it's very nice to have her back.

[Ray G.]

I'm shocked at how much I liked the first issue, but the second fell off a lot for me.

I think jubilee coming into it made things so much better. I happen to be growing up with her character. I didnt really read a lot of stuff with her but we're growing up around the same time.

[spencerdidyrmom]

You think they'll ever get around to trading the first 25 issues of Volume 1? Cause I'd totally buy that! And I own all the issues, too.

Oh, I'm happy Jubilee's there. I love the character(and the presence of Winddancer made me squee), but the dialogue and plotting seemed to be a lot weaker with issue two.

[Ryan F]

It's great if you're an x-fan - lots of great characters that got thrown aside by House of M get back into the limelight - Sofia, Beak, Jubilee. Also, Paco Medina is one of the great underrated superhero artists out there right now.

It's paced a bit slowly though. It's got that slow build, character-oriented style of the Jemas days.

Marvel also seems to be on young team overload - New Warriors, Young Avengers, Avengers Initiative, New X-Men, Runaways. Too many.

true, the pacing is a little different, but I think that's something that will never be permnant.

well here's the thing. YA wont be back until next year and The Initiative can go fuck itself. There better now?

[Flonk]

im lovin it

[HoldFastNow]

i think that art looks amazing and the inclusions of former generation x members Jubilee and what appears to be Chamber have me excited since I loved that book so much back in middle school.

[Jerome Gibbons]

I only read the first issue. Thought it was so-so. Marvel kinda ruined the big reveal at the end.

[Kingsumo]

I am getting the series for now. It really seems too much Gen-x with the inclusion of Night Thrasher. While I do like the charecters it just seems like it should be more of an x-title then an actual new warriors.

I will give it till probably issue 5 to see if it improves. While I like Jubilee and Thrasher (got his very first mini) just not really feeling a lot of love for it.

This may also be a lil biased due to team book overload.

[The Mandarin]

Perhaps true, but this being Gen-X+Night Thrasher isn't really a minus to me. I liked Gen-X. And New Warriors to me was like, meh, who cares? Really I started to read this for Jubilee's sake. If Marvel can use her to make me like Night Thrasher or whoever, well gratz to them.

[Blane]

I'm really loving it though I know nothing about the former mutants. I'm a fan of the NW from their first run. I hope that there are some elements included coming up that really makes it more relevant to the name.

But honestly, the concept is great, and though I picked it up for the New Warriors name, I'm really enjoying it so far and plan to get it as long as it comes out. It has a lot of interesting possibilities with the Initiative, Avengers and T-bolts.

Post CW Marvel is a really really interesting place. Hope it stays this way for a long time.

Fair enough. Too each their own and all that. Never really got into GenX myself. Always felt Jubilee should not have been demoted back to school personally.

This is very true. Probably why I am still keeping NW for now. I would not mind seeing them face up against the big leagues. Plus it is always nice to see some of the B stringers get the spotlight. Provided of course the writer can pull it off.

[Dreg]

Pretty good so far, so long as it doesn't become just another X-title in spirit.

[YouStayClassy]

Wait wait wait......

If it IS Chamber, does he still have the Apocalypse-Mouth?

[Kefky]

I'm still disappointed by the book, to be honest. I like the concept well enough, but the writing's pretty bad, imo. The dialog's weak, the story feels choppy, and I don't like how all these characters keep coming back in a completely different way without any explanation.

And Jubilee's new set of jugs scares me.

She's a gal pal to Kitty Pryde, had to follow suit sooner or later.

Nice hiding of spoilers:roll:

[Kefky]

Yea, but at least Kitty has her jew ninja powers as an explanation.

With Jubs, it's like.... Eh... That's where the super-strength comes from...

I blame Tony Stark. When SHIELD took her into custody, I bet he stuck her in some kind of Super Soldier Chest Expansion Program.

....Damit, I don't have any time to come up with a good comeback. But that's a good joke. :surrend:

[Bryan H]

I will give it till probably issue 5 to see if it improves.

I think its only a 5 issue mini series.

I really liked issue 1, but 2 left me a little flat. And I agree that Marvel's going overboard with the team books. I dropped Omega Flight after an issue, and The Order is gonna have to blow me away to keep me coming back. I'm sticking with the Warriors through this, its kept me intrigued.

'tis an ongoing.

I'm pretty sure it's an ongoing.

[Matt O'Keefe]

'tis an ongoing.

It's getting hard to keep track. What's The Order?

I've recently dropped all my team books. None of them have what I'm looking for in a story.

[YouStayClassy]

The Order is ongoing too.

The only mini is Omega Flight.

[Kefky]

Order is a 12-issue maxi-series, actually.

[YouStayClassy]

Huh.

Dammit..... that changes my DCBS plans then.....:mad:

[Bryan H]

Oy, really? I thought only Initiative got upgraded. That makes it easier to drop if it gets worse at least.

[bennymatthewtaylor]

You only rebuild something from ashes to destroy it. Stuff is only destroyed in the first place because some one thought that that would be fun. So mark my words how funny ass it is going to be when Hank Pym finally thinks that he's treading water that then it is time for Dan Slott to kick him in the nuts somehow. The Initiative will continue to rock. :)

I was beginning to think that the Order had become lost in the shuffle? What since after even the name change in all, that it wasn't having trouble getting out of the gate?

Why are they naming themselves after 4 Psychotic lunatics who tried to take over the Earth?

[HoldFastNow]

Wait wait wait......

If it IS Chamber, does he still have the Apocalypse-Mouth?


there was an image floating around awhile back of the new team members and one of them had the apocalypse mouth. in the newest issue of new warrios when we see the team in the shadows one of them looks like he has his mouth wrapped up like chamber used to in the generation x days.

[Bedlam66]

Me. The fact that Jubillie is back is reason enough to try this.
Well truth be told I wouldn't have Cared if Her Comic Existence had Ended in Origins. But just like Keith Giffen made me like Thanos, Maybe this book will make me not want to push her under a bus.

HMMMMMMMMMMM.

I hope to hell if it IS him he's wrapping up his face to hide his Apocalypse Mouth (God I :heart: saying that! If I had a band, they'd SO be called that!) and that Marvel doesn't ignore one of the best decisions they've made on the part of Chamber since the Weapon X days.

[youdontknowme]

what happened to chamber?

wasnt he incapacitated during M-day

[John M. Coker (Johnny C.)]

I'm really digging this book so far, which is a bit f a shock, being that I've always hated Jubes, but so far so good.

[YouStayClassy]

what happened to chamber?

Yeah, he lost his powers and was on life support. Then, it turns out he's actually a descent of Apocalypse, and through comic book magic got an Apocalypse makeover. He has a mouth and chest cavity now, both covered in Apoc's trademark, uh, markings.

[changingshades]

As a life long New Warriors fan, I adored this stuff. Great great book.

where was the big a stuff revealed?

[YouStayClassy]

where was the big a stuff revealed?

Chamber's ancestory was revealed in X-Men: Apocalypse Vs Dracula 1-4.

Chamber's transformation was in New Excalibur 9.

Frank Teri wrote them all. It's a shame he's at DC now, he was really building to something there.

Thanks

does he have powers again?

I always really liked Chamber and was pissed what M-Day did to him

Edit: Nevermind. Should've kept reading.

Unknown. Chamber mysteriously vanished after getting the body upgrade and hasn't been seen since.

I know Tieri had big plans for him though, with all the work he was going through creating a backstory like that.

[dEnny!]

Just read the first two issues. I really dug the cover, was curious about the writer, but the story was just kind of meh. I was hoping for more build-up of this group working covertly, slowly developing it, but instead they are the HOT new group in the MU.

I'll give it a few more issues, but if it doesn't pick up soon I'll drop it (though if I hear good things would be willing to pick up future trades).

[Brandon191]

I've dug it so far.

[adam_warlock_2099]

I liked Namorita from the first series . . .

[John M. Coker (Johnny C.)]

She appears in the next issue.

:D

[adam_warlock_2099]

She appears in the next issue.

:D

Sweeet. I gotta check this out then.

[InBendiswetrust]

She appears in the next issue.

:D

Thanks for the spoiler. Or was I supposed to know this.

It's not a spoiler. It's a joke. You'll get it when you read the next issue. :twisted:
