Summary: The Best Series Ever
Review: The New Warriors was a dream of Fabian's that he pushed till it came true. This book is a collection of their first appearance in the pages of Thor where they along with Thor take down the Juggarnaut. After that it's the first four issues of the New Warriors title. The first book of New Warriors in this collection is really just a throw together of forming the team quickly when they fight Terrax, but you also get some backround on some of the characters and there's some mystery as to why Night Thrasher is trying to form the team. The next story delves into Thrasher's past from when he first started fighting crime and how the the dealings with his former partners went sour. You can feel his pain and guilt over what happened as well as his fear. It shows the team is willing to deal with his problems even when he isn't. The next one features the Mad Thinker and is there to give backround on the team and make them think about what it is they are trying to do. It's what makes them decide to really come together as a team. The last one in there they fight a bunch of genetically made psychos in a lab and the team for the first time really seems to be on the same page. The series in itself after this moved on and eventually delved deeper into a lot of things and became very gritty dealing with a lot of issues other books weren't touching at the time. This book is worth getting for the beginnings but I would also look into buying the whole series because you really get attached to the characters as you move along and things become very breathtaking as you feel what they feel while reading it.
