New Warriors

know

i was reading it an issue a month um or you know three issues of three different series a month or whatever it was um but i was also reading everything else so i wasn't sitting down and reading it as a whole and And getting to read these things in sequence, follow it issue to issue without, you know, having the latest issue of Nightfall and the latest issue of X-Men and the latest issue of New Warriors and everything else between.

Sitting down and reading the Clone Saga as almost an entire unit, a giant, sprawling, messy unit by all means, but as an actual unit.

piece of collective work.

Speedball is one of the best Marvel...

You know, he's the greatest of all time Marvel characters because he was our POV character for the New Warriors.

He's our happy-go-lucky, friendly superhero who just does balls that bounce everywhere.

But realistically, because the world is right outside your window in the Marvel Universe, he got addicted to drugs.

who I think is in here somewhere.

Oh, boy.

We need new warriors back, guys.

Bring the new warriors back.

Wasn't she going to be Squirrel Girl or something?

There was supposed to be a Squirrel Girl and the New Warriors TV show.

There is test footage of her in the outfit.

And then it just got dropped.

We are in the home stretch.

Another podcast that I host, a live stream called Come Out to Play, which is a New Warriors podcast, which is chronicling the original New Warriors run that ran 75 issues.

We are, as of next Tuesday, going to be on issue.

Hold on one second.

Another series

I love.

I love New Warriors and your coverage of it has been fantastic.

Thank you, man.

What you're saying about it being their last chance is interesting because I was just talking about this in last episode on Firestar.

The New Warriors was Tom DeFalco throwing like six failed teenage characters they attempted to launch into a team book because team books were doing well.

And often that is where characters who haven't popped on their own as solo characters end up.

It's why Longshot and Dazzler end up on the X-Men, for example.

I was listening to some...

What was the team in the New Warriors? And that is good for about 30 issues and it goes massively off a cliff.

Yeah.

It just becomes so terrible in the 90s.

Yeah, he did some, and they're quite good.

Yeah, I've got a volume of the first ones.

I used to really like the new Warriors at one point.

I love Patrick Zerker's work now, and especially his Solomon Kane.
