Take a guided tour of Marvel’s mightiest creators with Marvel Tales! Ben Morse, currently a visiting lecturer at UNLV, previously spent a decade working within the House of Ideas. In each installment of this series, he utilizes that insider knowledge—plus his lifelong fandom—to connect with comics professionals as they spin stories about the Marvel Universe and its inhabitants!

When it comes to comics, the name “Darick Robertson” conjures up the sterling reputation of a well-respected professional amongst fans and peers. Highly regarded for turns on WOLVERINE (2003) and NIGHTCRAWLER (2004) as well as mature takes on Nick Fury and the Punisher plus legendary projects elsewhere in the industry, Robertson catapulted to Marvel superstardom when he took over artistic chores on the original volume of NEW WARRIORS in 1992 with issue #26.

Read the rest at – Marvel’s article Revisiting New Warriors in the 90’s with artist Darick Robertson.

Earlier, they also did a “Didja you know” about the New Warriors.

Fabian shared this:

A couple weeks ago there was some discussion about the spin-off plans I had for the New Warriors post issue #50 which were scuttled by internal discussions and market realities of the time.

I couldn’t recall exactly how I had planned to break the teams down, but I knew I’d gone through several possibilities.

Cleaning stuff in the basement today, I found this 25+ year old loose note that had some (of several) possibilities jotted down.

Marvel released a Youtube Video that highlights the newest members of the New Warriors and the writer provides some additional details. Additionally, at the same time, Marvel released an article on their website that provided even more information.

So from left to right we have: Screentime, Snowflake, Safespace, B-Negative and Trailblazer.

Note: Keep in mind those profiles are obviously a work in progress and I hope that the series reveals more information about that that I can use to fill out the profile further.

Daniel Kibblesmith, the writer of the upcoming (new) New Warriors series mentioned that he intentionally used “Internet Slang” for most of their names (Screentime: implying how much one is connected to the internet/their mobile device; Snowflake: a slang for indicating someone is “fragile”; Safespace: a term to indicate those who feel prosecuted for their gender, race, orientation, etc., can come to an area where they will not be judged). B-Negative, is an obvious pun on a blood type, but also “be negative.” And Trailblazer, he said was because she always charges into battle and ready for anything.

It’s undoubtedly no coincidence, that Snowflake (whose gender is identified as non-binary, and refer to themselves as “they/them”) is the twin to the one person who could always protect them (as the jock) named “Safespace.”

We’re told how B-Negative comes to their powers; as well as Screentime (though I am not sure what “being exposed to experimental internet gas” means?). Trailblazer is noted to have a magical backpack (so I assume, she will be similar to Shaman of Alpha Flight?) And the twins, there’s no note about how they have their powers (whether it was an experiment or if like Aurora and Northstar, they’re mutant twins).

Danny Donavan and Jeremy Rock proposed their version of what would have been a volume 3 of the New Warriors back in (near the end of?) 2001. A recent discussion on the New Warriors group reminded me of it – and I finally found the files. Figured I’d share for those that never saw this.

So what happened?

From: https://www.firstcomicsnews.com/danny-donnovan-dancing-in-the-dark/

1^st: At Marvel you had two projects reported heavily in the fan press; New Warriors with art by Jeremy Rock, and Cloak & Dagger with art by Tom Derenick. What happened with New Warriors?

Danny: Things just kind of fell through, as they are wont to do in this business. Jeremy got a great offer at Avatar and couldn’t wait anymore. So he went on to do some amazing things you’ll see very soon! (Check out jeremyrock.com now!)

1^st: What happened with Cloak & Dagger?

Danny: Another one of those things about missing the right time right place. Tom is doing incredible things over at DC,Smallville is just a great book. And fans of the show, and of Superman should pick it up if they aren’t already

Mike Moran shared some New Warriors art he got from Roland Paris –

This created a mystery as where these pages had appeared before – I had not recognized them, and no one on the New Warriors group seemed familiar with it. I began searching for any reference of the New Warriors having encountered either Sasquatch or Wendigo (by the looks of the hand grabbing Firestar) – and was told that there’d been another splash page of Wendigo holding Firestar.

So I paid a visit to Roland Paris’ DeviantArt page – and discovered the pages there (though it’s missing the page above where we see Firestar being grabbed).

And there… in the comments I found my answer.

I am not sure, but I know that the first issue came oout a few months ago. The story is in limbo right now. The second half has been completed, but the third and fourth episodes are yet to be written, and I have no idea if they ever will be.
Thanks for all the favs on them!! I truly appreciate that you like what Carlos and I did!

Hey thanks for the reply. I such a fan of the original team, I was so excited to see a new story with them in it. I had a look at the online stuff but I couldn’t see it listed. Must have been taken down.

It is a web comic on Marvel’w site… there were two issues that I assume have seen the web so far, but only one that I know of for sure, and that is the pages you see. It is a four part series, but parts 3&4 have been delayed for some reason.

I also discovered that MarvelOnline.com no longer exists and Archive.org does not have any valid/working previews in 2010 for the website – making recovering the actual pages with dialogue impossible. But it was good to know where it finally came from.
