New Warriors Classic Omnibus Vol. 2
by Brandon McKinney, Richard Pace, Chris Marrinan, Fabian Nicieza, Darick Robertson, Craig Brasfield
Sadly New Warriors does get caught up in a couple of meh crossovers, but when it's not? Oh man is it FIRE.
Basically continues the adventures of our new team, or more of a family now. And Thrasher even goes off on his own at points, we do get his mini series, but also his own series starts (he'll get his own New Warriors OMnibus side stories) as well as Nova. But both are pretty big here, aswell as Nita, Marvelboy, and more.
The relationships in this series are really well done. These are all young adults or late teens, and their problems and issues all made sense. But their dynamic together, how they feel like a family and a team works so well. I'll be frank this is probably the best team outside of runaways to relate to Teen Titans for Marvel.
On top of that I really enjoyed the growth of Thrasher, Rage, Nova, and Firestarter here. ALL of them got some great character development and had to mature in great ways. Also the art is wonderful most of the time, over the top, but fits the themes and designs of the stories and characters.
The best storylines were dealing with going oversea and dealing with a issue, that results in the government checking the New Warriors. Another great storyline was Rage's growth as a character, and how he's doing with learning history, past, and dealing with his rage. Thrasher becoming less violent, unless you trip him up. And Fire Starter dealing with her father being injured. All great stuff.
The crossovers are terrible at points, the X-Force storyline in particular was horrendous and a waste of time. Luckily once that's done it gets a lot better. The other crossover with Night Trasher and Nova single series worked well for each character but also waaaaay too long at times.
Overall worth a read if liked volume 1. A 3.5 out of 5. I'll bump it to a 4.
