While Thrash's guess the fright of imminent death would reactivate Rich's latent Nova powers was right (while oddly not necessitating a clean pair of pants) - writer Fabian Nicieza sure knew how to launch a series with a bang!
The 90's was a great period for Marvel team books, and The New Warriors - the non-X, non-Avenger, Non-anything title of a few random super-teens from around the Marvel U, lead the pack with it's still legendary first 50 issues.
While 'New' probably wouldn't be in the teams title should the original now 30-something line-up reform, it would be kind of cool to see The Warriors regroup from time to time.
Ach...now you've got me feeling all nostalgic Danny-boy. I need some Speed-Ball.
ReplyDeleteYou know Random - I think a Speedball series would be awesome right now. Original powers, unique way of moving visually and upbeat and humourous - he's the perfect dude to fill the old Spidey niche!
