The New Warriors Explained
The New Warriors may not be as well-known as fellow Marvel teams like the Avengers or Fantastic Four, but they could be getting a major profile boost soon thanks to the proposed TV series based on the comic. Now's probably a good time to make sure you know your Speedball from your Night Thrasher!
