The legacy of the New Warriors is alive and well in 2013!
For starters, NEW WARRIORS OMNIBUS Vol.1 collecting the first 26 and a dozen crossover issues is due to be released. It is exceedingly expensive, but I’m going to try to scrape up enough to buy it somehow.
NOVA is getting an ongoing series! Unfortunately, its not Richard Rider, its written by Loeb, and the helmet makes me want to scream. But hey! Nova! With a Guardians of the Galaxy movie actually being made, the real Nova wont be far behind. Right?
And don’t forget AVENGERS ARENA, which features Darkhawk and 15 teenage potential Warriors, including: Anachronism, Apex, Bloodstone, Cammi (from Annihilation), Deathlocket, Hazmat and Mettle (from Avengers Academy), Nico and Chase (from Runaways), Kid Briton, Nara, Reptil (from Super Hero Squad), the kid from SENTINEL, and X-23 who is sadly going to outlive them all. The series is surprisingly good, and I recommend it.
YOUNG AVENGERS is ongoing again! Not strictly NW but certainly kin in spirit!
And for those that have missed it there is a SCARLET SPIDER book! Not Ben Reily but it’s actually Kaine!
I’m sure there’s even more that I’ve missed!

But first the daily Peter David Update: He was able with assistance to get up and sit in a chair where he spent most of the day. He worked with his various physical therapy and occupational therapy personnel on continuing to strengthen his arm and leg. The eye seems to be correcting itself a little but that’s going to be looked at in rehab as to what they can do besides a stylish eye-patch. He also revised an X-Factor script for his editor at Marvel, which I think made him feel good/more normal than he has been feeling.
Remember the waiting game? Well we MIGHT be moving him to his rehab facility but it is not a done deal because they don’t like some of the markers in various pieces of blood work. It may be an aberration and they are going to test him six ways from Sunday this morning to give us a go or no go on his going to rehab today. We have all the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle in place except the Doctor’s OK to go.
Hard to believe that one week ago all this started.
Now HOW YOU CAN HELP
Even though we have health insurance we have co-pays and the like. And since this stroke fell at the end of the year, we have all the new co-pays to deal with (I can honestly see those of you who have had to deal with this nodding your heads). And there are things that the insurance company just won’t cover (more head nodding). So we are at the beginning of what is going to be a very expensive year even though we are only 4 days in.
The most direct way is to buy his books from Crazy 8 Press or from Amazon or Barnes and Noble websites. These are books that he gets the money from directly and the most per book.
His currently Crazy 8 Books are
Pulling Up Stakes Part 1
Pulling Up Stakes Part 2 (Brand new)
This is one novel broken into two pieces. This is the cover blurb Sick of vampire books? Movies? TV shows? Yeah. So are we. Sick of the entire unlife of vampires? Yeah. So is Vince Hammond. Unfortunately, Vince is in it up to his (wait for it) neck. Because Vince is a young vampire hunter who lives with his vampire hunter mother in an entire community of vampire hunters, who in turn are part of a cult of vampire hunters going back all the way to the French Revolution, which many believe to be an uprising of the poor against the rich but was actually a massive purging of vampires from the French nobility (hence the guillotine)
The Camelot Papers A powerful ruler who’s considered by many to be simple-minded and vacuous and has serious father issues. A no-nonsense, polarizing woman who favors pants suits and pursues dubious agendas involving social needs. A remarkably magnetic leader of men with a reputation as a skirt-chaser. A scheming, manipulative adviser who is constantly trying to control public perceptions. A man seen as the next, great hope for the people, except there are disputes over his background and many contend he’s not what he appears to be.
George W? Hillary and Bill? Karl Rove? Obama?
Try Arthur Pendragon, Guinevere, Lancelot, Merlin, and Galahad.
Whatever you think of the state of today’s politics, The Camelot Papers shows you just how little matters have changed in the past thousand years or so. The Camelot Papers presents a fresh perspective on Arthurian legend by using modern day sensibility and combining it with a classic tale to bring a new insight into iconic characters.
The Hidden Earth Saga of which there are two published and the third is in the works.
Darkness of the Light (book 1 of the Hidden Earth saga)
Height of the Depths (Book 2 of the Hidden Earth saga)
These are science fiction mixed with mythological creatures and the fate of the Universe hangs in the balance. Big epic sweeping books with those great characters that Peter is famous for writing.
There are Print on Demand for all these books if you want a paper copy rather than electronic.
More HOW YOU CAN HELP
If you already have these or can’t purchase them for whatever reason, you can still help us a lot by getting word out all over the Internet about how they can help Peter. I am asking every blogger and people who have access to an audience to spread the word.
The more we sell of these books, the easier it will be for us to pay the bills as they start to pour in.
Buying his other books does help but that is very long term and isn’t much per books but it does help especially the Marvel graphic novels he has written.
I am talking to Glenn about a donate button or something but we don’t have the details worked out and I really want to get the ball rolling on getting this information out while Peter is fresh in everyone’s mind.
We do need your help to help him. He is working very hard at getting back to all that he loves to do and we are trying to ease his mind about whatever we can ease his mind about so he can do it faster.
We are now off to the Hospital to see what the verdict is about his moving today. I will update this when we know what is going on.
I am grateful to everyone who has helped or is going to help Peter.

I remember it clearly. I was in the 4th Grade and my friend (still my friend to this day!), Charles Stevens handed me two comics. It was Avengers #159 and Uncanny X-Men #121. I remember reading them – and I remember opening them up and seeing characters with such wild and vibrant color costumes. All these characters had a wide variety of powers that were just amazing to me. And in both issues, it seemed pretty helpless for the heroes! In Avengers they were fighting someone who could control gravity – and in the X-Men they were fighting a team that was as skilled as the X-Men!
I was definitely hooked.
As the years progressed, my obsession – and collection – exploded in size. Over the years, my Marvel collection expanded from Uncanny X-Men, Avengers, to Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, New Mutants, Web of Spider-Man, Power Man & Iron Fist, Micronauts, ROM, Dazzler, and of course – New Warriors, Night Thrasher, Nova – among so many others. I now own thousands upon thousands of comics now. While, the current state of Marvel Comics isn’t my cup of Joe – I still collect comics. And I continue to go back and fill my collection backwards, to the point that I am now picking up comics that were released by Marvel – before I was even born. Marvel Comics became a staple in my life back then. It helped my imagination grow and expand and enter the world of Super Heroes. All of this is possible, because of people like Stan Lee who was one of the many powerful forces behind the birth of Marvel Comics.
So thank you Stan Lee for the gift you gave me. Your birth has been an endless source of gifts to me. And here I am, with the most that I can do – writing this little bit.

LOS ANGELES (CNN) – Wherever superhero creator Stan Lee goes, a crowd of comic book fans seems to gather, but now Lee’s making it official with his own comic convention.
“Stan Lee’s Comikaze Expo Presented by POW! Entertainment” launches in Los Angeles in September and is expected to spread with shows around the world, according to Lee and his “partner in crime” Regina Carpinelli.
Carpinelli grew up as a big fan of Lee’s many superhero characters, including Spider-Man and other Marvel Comics fixtures such as the X-Men, Thor and Iron Man.
Having Lee’s name on the marquis and his POW! Entertainment helping with promotion is “making history,” said Carpinelli, who compared the former Marvel Comics chief to Walt Disney, Einstein and Shakespeare. “What more can a convention want; this is magic we’re making here.”
“Despite my legendary shyness, I thought that would be a great idea,” Lee said.
Grown men have been seen crying after shaking hands with Lee at comic book shows.
“I have that firm grip,” Lee said. “I squeeze their hand so hard, what are they going to do?”
Fans line up for hours to pay $50 to meet Lee and get an autographed photo at conventions.
“Yes, they kept saying ‘Is he still around?'” Lee joked.
Lee decided to partner with Carpinelli after attending the inaugural Comikaze show at the Los Angeles Convention Center last November.
“The idea that Los Angeles, which is to me the seat of the world’s entertainment, did not have its own con, and the fact that (Carpinelli) got more than 40,000 people on your first one, just shows what a market there is,” Lee said.
Lee’s two-day show is set for September 15 and 16, two months after the San Diego Comic-Con International, which sold out 125,000 tickets online in 90 minutes last month.
“If you can’t get into that other show that happens in California because tickets are sold out, come check out Stan’s show because he’s going to be there,” Carpinelli said.
“But despite that, it will be a great show,” said Lee, known for his self-deprecating humor.
The line up of stars will be revealed over the coming weeks, and “Stan’s bringing some of his pals,” Carpinelli said.
“We’re going to have the cream of the crop of people in movies, television and the comic book world,” said Lee.
Lee continues to create new comic characters and attend big shows at age 89.
“They’re no longer comic book conventions,” he said. “I think of them as pop art conventions, entertainment industry conventions, really. Because though they started with comic books, they now encompass movies, television, video games, digital entertainment. Everything in the field of entertainment is now represented in these so-called comic cons.”
Lee’s ComiKaze will be kid-friendly, with children under 12 admitted free, Carpinelli said, recalling her own childhood fascination with Lee’s work.
“I was a little girl with my brothers actively seeking spiders to bite us, making my mom mad jumping off the roof to play Spider Man,” she said, adding: “I grew up in the middle of nowhere, and all I had was comic books and movies, and acting that out. It was a positive experience and I think that’s what made me who I am.”
It’s buzzing around the web! And it looks to be Team DnA’s version of the GUARDIANS. Could this mean a guest appearance by NOVA to hopefully set up a potential NOVA movie as well? One can only hope.
Marvel Reveals Details on Guardians of the Galaxy Film
In an interview with Crave Online, Marvel Studios’ President of Production Kevin Feige confirmed the Guardians of the Galaxy film, the first he’s said on the subject since October last year, where Feige said the opportunity to do a big space epic was hinted at in Thor. Feige also noted that it would be the modern version of the team, rebooted in 2008 by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning for Marvel Comics.
In a new interview, Crave asked Feige what non-sequel projects were being prioritised at the moment. ”I think whether it’s Ant-Man, or Dr. Strange, or The Inhumans, or The Guardians of the Galaxy“, said Feige “We are very excited about bringing things like that, maybe things exactly like that, to the screen. […] When you tell people, you know what would be really cool? This movie, and there’s a raccoon, and there’s a tree… And they go, ‘What?’ And people like you know what it is, and get excited. And the majority of people go, ‘Did you say a raccoon and a tree?’ ‘Oh yeah, they’re going to steal the whole movie. They’re hilarious.’ ‘Okay, I’ll believe it when I see it.’ I like that.”
He added ”It’s more Star-Lord and Drax and Gamora, and less Vance Astro and that team”, the latter referring to the now defunct 1969 team.
Feige added that they knew what their second 2014 film would be, but weren’t ready to announce it yet. For those keeping score, the next Marvel Cinematic Universe film after this month’s The Avengers will be Iron Man 3 (3 May 2013), Thor 2 (15 November 2013) and Captain America 2 (4 April 2014). That leaves a gap for a late 2014 film, which many have speculated to be either a Guardians of the Galaxy film, Ant-Man or Dr. Strange.
While we’re not sure if the world is quite ready for an anthropomorphic raccoon based loosely on a song by The Beatles, expanding the Marvel universe beyond the main Avengers team would be an impressive feat and another step towards global geek domination.
If you were wondering just how Marvel could up the stakes for their movies after introducing Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in Marvel’s The Avengers, then Kevin Feige has four simple words in response: Guardians of The Galaxy.
Talking to Crave Online, Feige said that, while Marvel did already know what its second movie release of 2014 (behind Captain America 2) would be, it wasn’t ready to name the project yet. However, when listing projects in development at the studio, he mentioned Ant-Man, Dr. Strange, The Inhumans and Guardians of The Galaxy, before going on to say,
We are very excited about bringing things like that, maybe things exactly like that, to the screen. […] When you tell people, you know what would be really cool? This movie, and there’s a raccoon, and there’s a tree… And they go, ‘What?’ And people like you know what it is, and get excited. And the majority of people go, ‘Did you say a raccoon and a tree?’ ‘Oh yeah, they’re going to steal the whole movie. They’re hilarious.’ ‘Okay, I’ll believe it when I see it.’ I like that.
That definitely sounds like the most recent incarnation of Marvel’s earliest cosmic super team, a fact that Feige confirmed when asked, saying “Yeah, it’s more Star-Lord and Drax and Gamora, and less Vance Astro and that team.”
The Guardians of the Galaxy were created in 1969 by Arnold Drake and Gene Colan as super-heroes from an alternate future Earth that had survived both ecological disaster and alien invasion (all but one of the characters was an alien, in fact); after guest-starring in various series such as Marvel Team-Up, The Defenders and The Avengers for much of the 1970s, the team disappeared for the majority of the next decade before receiving their own series in the early 1990s.
The name was revived in 2008 by writers Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning for an entirely different team that spun out of the critically-acclaimed Annihilation: Conquest mini-series. The second team — made up of various b-list-or-lower supporting characters, failed leads (Star-Lord, the leader of the team, had been the subject of some of the earliest collaborations between Chris Claremont and John Byrne, long before they teamed up on Uncanny X-Men) and, yes, a talking Space Raccoon — carried their own monthly series for twenty-five issues, before the team disbanded with the book’s cancellation.
This mention of a Guardians film counts as the first on-the-record confirmation of the project’s existence following months of speculation. No writer or director has been attached in those rumors, however.
