I’m the closest thing we’ve got, and with assistance from Wikipedia, that’ll usually do. Of course, when I write on a cappucino and sugar high, all bets are off… :)

You mean there isn’t an X-expert at stately Spoilers Manor?

For shame.

I couldn’t even get to issue #5 on this series. I thought the writing was very blah. It saddens me b/c I really dug the original NW (Amen to Brother’s point of reforming something closer to the spirit of the original). Between this and last year’s awful Omega Flight mini, Marvel is butchering some of my favorite off-beat series as a young’in.

Amen to the review. This book had so much potential and now appears to be a one-trick pony….how about sending all of these ex-X-men away and re-forming the “old” New Warriors. I’m over this already. But I’ll probably keep reading because I’m an idiot.

“You do mean Rob Liefeld’s X-Force, not X-factor.”

Like I know about X-books. :)

But, yes, I did mean that…

Great review

I just dont understand this book

I dropped it like it was hot a month or two ago because it just wasnt going anywhere

I found myself at issue 5 asking myself “Who the hell are these people?!?!

At least The Order is still good. Too bad marvel is cutting it

I had such high hopes for the Initiative books and it looks like Avengers is the only one I’ll keep buying.

You do mean Rob Liefeld’s X-Force, not X-factor.

Sorry to nitpick, but X-Force was the first super hero comic I ever bought, and the whole original run has a special place in my collection.

I do agree that New Warriors is taking forever to get anywhere. And besides the ex-X-Men, I have no clue who any of the rest of the team is.

I want to love this book, but the writer (the art is superb, I love me some Paco Medina) is killing any momentum the story might have had with the Night Thrasher reveal a couple of issues ago.
