The Four Color Media Monitor

We read here on CBR that a different team of New Warriors is being published. A team that's meant to take the place of those who were disgraced during Civil War.

To the citizens of the Marvel Universe, the New Warriors have become synonymous with tragedy, but that may soon change. It was the hasty actions of the team which lead to the destruction of the town of Stamford, the passage of the Superhero Registration Act and the resulting "Civil War." This June in the premier issue of a new ongoing series, readers will see that Registration may be the law, but a new team of "New Warriors" has gathered together in defiance of that law and are taking on the evil doers of the Marvel U. CBR News spoke with "New Warriors" writer Kevin Grevioux about the series.

Put another way, they're still going by the defamation of the real team of New Warriors. I see no reason then to support this title.

When "New Warriors" #1 begins, the new team will have already banded together. "When we first see the New Warriors they've definitely been active for about a month or two," Grevioux explained. "We see that despite the government edict prohibiting non-registered superhero activity, they've been going around catching villains and basically gift-wrapping them for the police."

The New Warriors actions as unregistered superheroes have caught the attention of the media and the general public. "The media has definitely gotten wind of the New Warriors," Grevioux stated. "You find trussed up super-villains all over the city or the country for that matter, you realize that somebody had to put them there. That's news worthy material. As far as support for their illegal activities, I'd have to say its split. Some want the New Warriors arrested like the criminals they are, while others, especially the youth culture, praise their efforts."

Well I'm really sorry here, but since this is just an extension of the ghastly premise used in Civil War, and the registration act is still being used along with the already needless cliche of the public distrusting superheroes, then I see no reason to waste time on this new rendition using characters who may not even hold a candle to the real protagonists. I don't forsee this as getting much of an audience either, and probably not for long.
