 Fun Book... too bad this is the only one March 29, 2008

The whole idea of this tpb is fun, from the light hearted storyline to Skottie Young's cartoony artwork. It's a shame most of them died in the civil war because this would have been a title that i would like to have continued to read. The newer version of the New Warriors in darker and sometimes it is better to read a nice light hearted book. I heart Microbe and i think i might get him tattooed on my leg.
 They're back May 17, 2007
Anyone who remembers the New Warriors will probably remember them with equal feelings of joy and disdain. Reality Check finds a bit of more light hearted take on the lower-tier super team, as former leader Night Thrasher re-assembles the team for the sake of reality television. The team features returning members like fan favorites Nova and Speedball, along with Namorita and new member Microbe among others. What makes Reality Check enjoyable is the way writer Zeb Wells satires reality TV and the media to boot, while providing an actually compelling story. My biggest gripe is the artwork by Skottie Young, which is very anime-ish and cartoony. I don't mean to knock the guy, but his style just isn't my thing. That being said though, Young's art doesn't detract from the story too much, making this a pleasent surprise indeed. Though it would have been nice to see some other old New Warriors members in the lineup (Firestar and Justice in particular, and maybe even Rage), Reality Check is a surprising treat. Check it out if you remembe the old New Warriors comics, of if you enjoyed Dan Slott's GLA: Misassembled.
THE NEW WARRIORS NEED A ON- GOING ... March 17, 2006

(up date 4/25/07, after reading the civil war , I was shocked and sadend by the deaths of ... ok , Amazon won't let me say because of spoilers , but anyway , even though the civil war books where cool , my opinion still stands R.I.P. old friends!)FIRST OFF , I'M A LONG TIME FAN OF THE NEW WARRIORS (ever sense #1 of the original series) AND IT'S TIME FOR A NEW ONE . THE TEAM IS THE AVENGERS FIRST "YOUNG" GROUP (think teen titans) AND WHAT WITH THE "YOUNG AVENGERS" , IT'S TIME FOR MARVEL TO RELEASE IT'S VERSION OF THE "OUTSIDERS" .
THIS TRADE INCLUDES #1-#6 OF THE MOST RESENT MINI-SERIES (which would make it vol.3 considering marvel tried to bring it back years ago after redesighning nova's classic duds and making the team more anime like) ANYWAY , NIGHT THRASHER (think black batman) LOSSES HIS FORTUNES AND SELLS THE RIGHTS OF THE WARRIORS TO A GREEDY REALITY TV PRODUCER .
OF THE ORIGINAL TEAM ONLY 4 COME BACK : NIGHT THRASHER , NOVA (in his classic costume !) , NAMORITA (who's blue for some reason) , AND THEN THERE'S THE MIGHTIEST ONE OF ALL !!!!
SPEED BALL !!!!! ... (ok , that's just me being funny)
THE TEAM IS JOINED BY TWO NEW MEMBERS : MICROBE (who I find some what offensive because he's a stereo type of over-weight people , his only friends are his germs and he doesn't bathe)
AND THEN THERE'S DEBRII! (she's a low level telekinetic magnet , who can pick up small things around her to use as weapons)
AND LAST , BUT NOT LEAST ...MR.TICKES ! (ok , that's also a joke)
THIS BOOK IS A FUN AND EASY READ WITH CARTOONY LIKE ART THAT I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HATE , BUT I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT .
THIS BOOK ALSO , HAS A GREAT PLAY WITH THE RETURN OF SOME OF MARVEL'S B-LIST VILLIANS LIKE : TIGER SHARK , ARMADILLO , THE GRAY GHOST'S SUPER APES , THE CORRUPTOR , AND ALBERT EINSTEIN ! ... (no joke!)
I'M SO GLAD TO SEE MARVEL BRING BACK SOME IT'S OLDER CHARACTERS , AND IT'S THANK'S TO DC COMIC'S (unfortunately). DC IS THE TREND SETTER NOW BECAUSE OF THE CRISIS BOOKS AND MARVEL IS FOLLOWING SUIT BY BRINGING OUT IT'S OLD FAN FAVORITES (they're even having a civil war to bring in readers ... which means killing some of their most beloved characters and having them fight & kill each other to attract readers)
INJOY THE LIGHT SIDED STORIES LIKE THIS ONE AS WELL AS "GLA:DISASSAEMBLED" AND THE NEW "SHE-HULK " BOOKS WHILE THEY LAST TRUE BELIEVERS !(this review was writen in mid 2006 and before the civil war) Civil War (Marvel Comics)
