Sure, sure. Maybe the last time there was a podcast for this was… you know, somewhere, roughly (maybe exactly) around July 12…. um, 2017. And sure, yeah – that was like, well, just over five years ago… So why?

Why is there a notification that tells me there’s a new episode of this show I clearly thought was dead and gone? you might be asking yourself. (Now is the title of this episode more clear?)

Why? I mean. That’s a really great question, really. And honestly, I can’t say for certain. There’s a lot of stuff going on in my life right now – and I needed an escape. And I remember in my youth, taking great comfort in the pages of The New Warriors when it had debuted. Yes, I was drawn to it because Namorita was in it (those who know me know the uh… joke of my unnatural obsession with Namorita)… and because I recognized Firestar and Nova … and because the team debuted in a book I loved (Thor)… but the actual series, and what Fabian did with these … really “nobody” characters… and made them so life like. Gave them real problems that they couldn’t just punch and resolve. But they struggled. And together, relied on one another, and overcame. Together. I think this is why I came back and did this again. I needed that escape. That comfort. And took great pleasure reading through the next set of issues I would cover – which is, from Volume 1 – New Warriors #14, 15, 16 and 17. Issue #14 was pretty much a stand alone issue (Namorita vs Sea Urchin), which would have been really short to cover. But 15 through 17 cover the Terrax story.

So if you’re so inclined – check out the newest one – as always I do some trivia questions in the beginning related to the issues I am covering – so feel free to get those #2 pencils (or if you have a pen!) ready to write down some answers.
