Volume Four New Warriors Team

[candyflosskillr.livejournal.com]

So we know almost all of the members of the new team now.

As a fan, how do you feel about the lineup?  And who is actually counted as the one returning New Warrior if it's not Night Thrasher (because NT in name only is made of suck unless it's Justice in the suit which of course it isn't)?

Okay, beware spoilers below if you haven't read the latest issue. 

*SPOILER STUFF KIND OF*

The volume four line up:

I kinda like seeing Jono and Jubilee and Sofia back and Barnell's okay but I can take or leave the rest because it's starting to feel less like a New Warriors concept and more like a do-something-with-popular-and-not-so-popular-depowered-x-mutants-as-our-x-comics-runneth-over-with-characters comic.  

Returning New Warrior:

I think I would feel less annoyed as a original team fangirl if there was more sign of this returning New Warrior (not Bandit because was he even considered a core team member ever??? If it was Dwayne with a damn good reason for surviving, okay, but meh, otherwise).

Random outstanding issue:

And what's with mentioning Firestar is missing but not following up on that? Huh?! Some of us are still worrying here (even though she's a heartless wench who broke Justice's heart).

Anyway, does anyone else have feelings either way?

Well, haven't read #6 yet (but I got 1-5 this weekend! Yay!)... anyway, I'll be disappointed if it's not Dwayne in the NT suit. I'm still holding out hope that he is the returning New Warrior. And the Firestar thing - I'm just assuming she's dropped out of the public life and is hiding herself well, but the least they could do is address that. I really wish they'd show what happened to some of the old Warriors.

As for the current team, the only one I really feel familiar with is Jubilee, and Chamber (er... Decibel) to a lesser extent. I know who the others are, but I was out of the comics loop for awhile, so I'm just not familiar with them. Besides, Jubes has been around for a LONG time! I wish they'd show her gymnastics skills - that could come in handy in combat!

I still think it is Dwayne, who was alive, because it was Bandit in the suit during the reality show thing and Civil War...which would explain why he was so out of character in those stories.

Also, I'll post here something else I have about this series.
