New Warriors Dot Com

From: https://aiptcomics.com/2026/08/03/x-men-monday-348-christopher-yost-talks-maximum-x-men/

Bringing this team together will be writer Christopher Yost (New Warriors, New X-Men, X-Force, and more) and current X-Men artist Tony S. Daniel. And while Maximum X-Men won’t launch until December 2, 2026.

Christopher Yost mentioned:

Tom Brevoort reached out to me, looking for a take on a new action-focused book coming out of Armageddon, and I jumped at the chance. I grew up with the X-Men, I’ve written any number of X-books over the years, and the idea of X-Men taking on Avengers villains is nothing but fun. We talked about various villains, but landed on Annihilus as the first threat the Max team would take on. But nothing’s ever simple for the X-Men, so an invasion from the Negative Zone becomes much more complicated by the end of issue 2.

I wanted a team that looked and felt like Chris Claremont and Jim Lee’s X-Men run, even to the point of leaning into the blue-and-yellow uniforms for most of the cast.

Assembling an X-team is always fun, but we wanted big names with big powers, and of course it’s a shared sandbox, so I always look to be respectful of what the other X-writers are doing and who they’re using. There’s a little crossover here and there, but we’re more like an event book than ongoing drama. Although we are ongoing, to be clear. But characters like Storm, Wolverine, Colossus, Betsy (who won’t be going by the name Psylocke here)… they just scream X-MEN.

I love Firestar and Vance, and have used them both in either New Warriors books or an X-title in the past. Sometimes it’s good to have characters you aren’t sharing so you can mess with them a little more. Firestar’s had a rocky road, and this is the start of her journey back into the light. Vance doesn’t really want to be an X-Man, but sees the need. He’s a hero through and through; he can’t HELP but be a hero. And of course, we’re going to make him regret that.

Wondra gets a small update. Just a note about her time on Krakoa.

Chord got a small footnote about his apparent demise, that happened somewhere off panel, it would seem…

The overly complicated Scarlet Spider Chasm got an update…

Slapstick got a small update…

Niels the Cat got a small update. He appeared in New Invaders #15 so I added that small bit about him there.

Firestar also got an update to her bio, bringing her up to speed for when she joins the West Coast Avengers. (News seems to indicate we will be seeing more of her in the pages of X-Men soon…)

Because of Firestar, Justice also got an update.

Night Thrasher also got an update.

Nova (Richard Rider) also got an update.

Darkhawk got a major update. As a result, the Conner Darkhawk page got a minor note at the bottom.

Rage gets a small update.

Bandit/Night Thrasher (II) get a footnote about their apparent death, as mentioned by Dwayne in Night Thrasher (vol 2) #3.

Find out by checking out Jay Faeber’s original proposal…

Also check out how some of the New Warriors might have ended up on a “New Defenders” team…

Oh, and did you know the team was called “Young Warriors” before it was changed to “New Warriors”?

There’s also some unused New Warriors art from an unpublished story… and unused art from a Nova issue…

Enjoy!

And it has Rich Rider, NOVA, as playable.

If you’re wondering who she is – I got you covered.

She was Kymera for a day! What do I mean? Check out the interview I did with her and you will quickly realize who she is! There is a collection of scanned photos she sent me too, from that whole event.

She was also kind enough to autograph New Warriors #44, which featured her on the cover! I even mentioned how being able to do the interview with her was one of the highlights and memories when I mentioned NewWarriors Dot Com Turning 25 Years old, recently.

New, side scrolling game (reminds me of the classic Golden Axe type games, and Marvel had their share with the X-Men in a similar type)… and this one has Nova, Richard Rider in it (and with his New Warriors long hair look!)

Nova, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Phyla-Vell, Captain America and many more heroes, both earth-born and cosmic, will join forces in a star-spanning brawling adventure against the deadly Annihilation Wave.

From New York City to the depths of the Negative Zone, the future of the Universe will be fought for across the stars in MARVEL Cosmic Invasion!

Copperhead’s profile.

Note: He was literally the only member of Serpent Society who wasn’t present against Night Thrasher and the AVENGE.R.S. throughout Serpent Society’s history (other than Viper, aka Madame Hydra, and I never considered her an actual member of Serpent Society, more of someone trying to usurp Sidewinder). Though he wasn’t present in the battle against Night Thrasher and the AVENGE.R.S., since he was literally the only member of Serpent Society’s history to not be a part of it – I just went ahead and created his profile too. But you won’t see it linked from the Serpent Society page – you will need to get to his profile from the link above, or if you use the menus under Enemies then Serpent Society, his profile will be accessible from there.
