MARVEL COMICS FIRST LOOKS
FIRST LOOK: NEW WARRIORS #1
New Warriors #1 will arrive in stores on June 6 from Marvel Comics. The issue is written by Kevin Grevious, with art and cover by Paco Medina.
Here's how Marvel describes the issue:'
"'This June, resistance isn't futile -- it's necessary -- as Marvel presents the newest incarnation of New Warriors. In the wake of Civil War and superhero registration in full effect thanks to the Initiative, one expects a new era of order and stability...so why are gift-wrapped super-villains turning up at City Hall while pro-registration posters are being defaced? The clues are two letters 'NW,' that point to the superhero team known as the New Warriors, who seemingly destroyed in the wake of their role in Civil War. However, while this may be a new collection of New Warriors, the heroes behind these masks are familiar faces.
Just who are the New Warriors? In the past, the team represented a new generation of superheroes, fighting against the evil that polluted America, and exploring the very concept of justice in the modern world. While the true identities of this teamıs new lineup are not known yet, readers should not be surprised to learn that while their superhero names may be new, the faces underneath are familiar. And is that a former New Warrior in the line-up?
"With former New Warriors members such as Rage and Justice working for Tony Stark, intergalactic hero Nova starring in Nova, and the entire registered superhero community opposing them, these new New Warriors have their work cut out for them."
New Warriors #1 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.
