NEW WARRIORS #2

[MattBrady]

Press Release

Marvel is happy to announce that New Warriors #1 has sold out at Diamond (though copies may still be available at the retail level), signaling a triumphant return of Marvel’s fan favorite super hero team. Writer Kevin Grievoux and artist Paco Medina’s Initiative tie-in, New Warriors #1, re-imagines the young Marvel team and positions them against Iron Man’s pro-registration regime. The series also features the enigmatic resurrection of former New Warriors leader, Night Thrasher, and the return of a few fan-favorite former mutants who are struggling to live without powers in the post-Civil War world.

"We're thrilled by the news," says Executive Editor Axel Alonso. "All the guys -- Kevin, Paco, Juan and Marte -- all brought their passion and their A-game to the book, and I think it shows."

Richard George of IGN.com calls New Warriors #1 a “must read,” stating. “The characters are incredible and Paco Medina's art is astonishing…This could very well be the next Young Avengers or Runaways.”

With the first amazing issue of New Warriors selling out, and with the increasing success of other related Initiative titles, Marvel advises retailers to check their orders for future issues of this series. Marvel currently has no plans to go back to press on New Warriors #1. The New Warriors are back, and are fighting the (Iron)man!!!

I totally agree. Runaways, the Loners, and the New Warriors all have very original premises and are the freshest mainstream books. I am of the opinion that Marvel's greatest books center on these teens.

I really liked the first issue and am looking forward to the next issue. this was well written, the art was nice...and i love the cliffhanger ending. this is one title to come out of civil war that i am really liking.

Loved issue one. Sofia was a great character that I was sad to see leave the X-Men homestead, however, this platform will give her an even better position in the broader marvel u.

[Gamma Charge]

I've culled most of my pull list and only buy a few titles now, but I really enjoyed the first issue. I'm definitely on board for the series, and looking forward to reading more.

[Kolimar]

Very good news.

[Ace]

Pacing was a bit slow but I liked everything else.

Hopefully it ends up well on the charts and stays there.

Judging by the preview, does anyone else think Wundra is going to end up being Jubilee? New Warriors is going to be a X-Book for de-powered mutants.

SOLD OUT???
I never got my copy!

Hopefully they come out with a great trade!

Congrats to all.

excellent issue...Loving the Resistance angle...almost started tagging all my facebook pictures with "NW" lol

[cyclopsfan]

I admitingly almost passed on the first. I flipped through the preview copy of #1 at my lcs and added it to the pull. A really great series.

I'd personally love to see the three youth group teams wage a full out revolution.

Well, for all you new fans of Kevin's writing, you can go to WOWIO.COM and read lots of his own creations!

[Samy Merchi]

This is a great premise and every time I learn more about this series it's something good.

Initially I thought it'd just be one or two token pre-existing characters in a sea of blank slate new characters, but the more info I get, the more it looks like this actually integrates damn well with the Marvel Universe and pre-existing characters.
