Perhaps that is War Machine operating on his off hours away from the Initiative. Didn’t the solicitations for the new series suggest the new Night Thrasher has ties to Tony Stark?

I think the appeal was Firestar (rawr) and Nova, though I got to like Night Thrasher enough to where I bought his limited series and about the first twelve issues of the regular series before I stopped caring. He struck me, at the time, as a poor man's Iron Man (which could be meant literally, too, I guess), so it's interesting that the NW will be the underground resistance to the Initiative. I was curious when I saw the preview for the new series, and this looks promising enough that I'll check out the first few issues. On a side note, with Marvel's affinity towards spin-offs these days, how about Jim Henson's Grey Gargoyle Babies.... so cute, so blandly villianous.

My bad, I tought he was bordering on an affair. Woopsie. Now, THAT must be interesting. Imagine fake-flirting with someone for a month when you know that only last year that same someone thought 'Oh No, You Again', every time they looked at you...

Fri, 08 Jun 2007 06:07:17 +0000 http://www.majorspoilers.com/archives/1580.htm/#comment-22730 I've been a New Warriors fans since day one. Marvel Boy's (Justice for the uneducated) trial remains one of Marvel's best overlooked stories of all time. I can't think of any other mutant off of the top of my head who has actually used his powers to violently lash out at one of their own parents. My favorite Warrior was Speedball, but Joe Q. has destroyed him. Absolutely no one can be bright and cheerful in Joe Quesada's Marvel Universe. If you're a hero and you smile, Iron Man will have you publicly humiliated and psychologically tortured until you start appreciating the musical talents of Fallout Boy.

I am also one of the people who loved the book when it first came out in the '80 and hope that this doesn't get swallowed up by the current Marvel U. I'm also hoping that someone in the stupid Initiative uses it to take over the US so said residents see how much better things are than before.
