It's always been my belief that Gravity shouldn't be on a team book, at least until he found his own legs. Now he's been to the edge of the universe, so that whole neophyte angle's dead anyway.
Look...this really goes against my principles regarding rumor columns, but I'm starting to feel a bit bad about this. I am NOT writing New Warriors. Never was, never approached, etc.
The reason I've been so coy is to teach everyone a lesson about putting so much stock in these rumor columns. Seriously, people really need to stop and consider that, while they're sometimes right or sometimes contain actual news, ATR and LITG are not news columns, as Rich Johnston himself will tell you.
Anyway, I pitched New Warriors two years ago but there was no interest. They wanted a high concept pitch with them as the equivalent of "child actors all grown up," and I wanted a serious ensemble drama that happened to also be an action-heavy superhero comic. At the outset, the team was broken up, and so were Justice and Firestar. Justice gets the team back together as an excuse to be close to Firestar again. I believe my roster was Justice, Firestar, Speedball, Nova and a new Marvel Girl, whose powers and partial background I later turned into Gravity. After the first arc I was going to bring in Thor Girl and/or Namorita.
I've since lost my pitch in a hard drive crash, otherwise I would consider sharing it with you all.
