Officially Announced – New Warriors Gets A New Series!

It would appear team DnA (Dan Abbnett and Andy Lanning) who helped relaunch and redesign NOVA are now taking on THE NEW WARRIORS.

In June 2008, that Abnett and Lanning had signed an exclusive deal with Marvel, which they hope will give them time to work on the “cosmic” characters they have been dealing with, as well as more earth-based ones. The first major work to emerge after this deal will be War of Kings, a crossover storyline, emerging from Secret Invasion, that pitches Black Bolt (and the Inhumans) against Gabriel Summers (and the Shi’ar Empire) but also draws in other teams and characters, including Nova, the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Starjammers.

“So many of the characters who were members of the New Warriors are just out there – floating around, not being used. We’re going to bring them back together, slowly. That’s where the first arc goes,” affirms Lanning. “You know how we like to do stories and then only later on you realize how significant bits of those stories were in the long term? Like that.”

“Exactly what the ‘unfinished business’ they’ve got to finish next will take you by surprise,” adds Abnett. “You’d be amazed what sort of business isn’t finished yet. But will be. And when it is, what a problem that will be. And was. Sorry, was that confusing?”

In addition to action and intrigue, soap opera of the B Grade heroes variety will continue to infest the pages of THE NEW WARRIORS, be it Speedball’s taboo affair with a mysterious new character or the burgeoning relationship between Namorita and the (new?) Night Thrasher.

“It’s all romance from here,” teases Abnett. “Romance is the very heart of it. And kissing.”

Does this mean we will be seeing NOVA return?

“Our lips our sealed,” Abnett teased. “From all the kissing.”
