    Default The Confrontation New Warriors Fans have been waiting for Spoilers.




    THE STORY:
    The first chapter of a two-part SECRET INVASION story!
    Skrulls. Shape-changing aliens who have invaded Earth. Impersonating and replacing your friends and family. Maybe even taking the place of a brother. When an army of Skrulls arrives in Manhattan, Donyell Taylor asks: Was the Night Thrasher who died in Stamford, Connecticut really his brother? Or could it have been a Skrull? Desperate to find out if his brother is alive, Donyell rushes off to investigate. Little does he know, some familiar faces might be launching an investigation of their own. One that puts them on a collision course with their former teammate. From the pages of AVENGERS: THE INITIATIVE, enter: Counter Force!
    Rated T+ …$2.99
    Looks like the people who wanted to see the Old New Warriors fight the New New Warriors got their wish a shame it could only be a two part story though.

    Wait a minute. Did I miss something? former teammates? none of the current new warriors have former teammates in the initiative. Good way to sell the book I guess.

    Lots of stuff looking really good, but one thing caught my eye:

    JEPH LOEB is writing the Red Hulk vs Thor battle. God help us all, Hulk will ignore all his powers and all continuity and step on him in a minute...

    Still, some solicits are getting me quite excited- though I'm still more hyped for Final Crisis than anything over here. The Thor solicit is typically useless, but the Fantastic Four one looks damn good, as does Secret Invasion and... ah Hell, everything, really.

    Incredible Hercules # 119
    Thor # 10
    Ghost Rider # 25
    Punisher # 59
    Ultimate Spider-Man # 124 (Hell yeah, we finally get to see Ultimate Beetle apart from the USM game)
    Skaar: Son of Hulk # 2

    How does Eternals look to everyone? The concept is cool, but that solicit makes it sound dull.

    I think they are talking about Counter Force running into Thrash.
    Rogue and Bishop's daughter would be called Discharge, and she'd touch people and drain all or some of their bioelectrical energy out of them causing them to either die or fall unconscious. She could then use this energy to extend her own life, heal herself, enhance her physical abilities (speed, strength, stamina,) or discharge it as various energy beams.

    Perhaps it's just me, but it looks like Paul Gulacy played a bit too much Halo before he sat down to draw the cover to True Believers #1.

    July is marvel's month. most of the books look amazing. Even that moon knight issue, but why don't they tell what reprint comes with it. No way is that issue 80 pages of real and new story.

    Well hopefully some of them choose to retire and the New Warriors become as close to the originals as possible. The only new characters they could keep around is jubilee, Beak, and Wind Dancer. Angel can retire and take care of her kids and everyone else can just go away.

    In all fairness though, in this day and age it's probably tough to come up with a new team name. Plus, the 50 states Initiaitve means they need to come up with another 50 (though we know several are recycles old teams).

    I personally think just calling them Warriors would have worked. Getting rid of the extra adjectives worked for the Titans.

    July is going to be a pricey month for me...actually, June-August is going to drain my pocketbook, but its all worth it in the end.
