New Warriors #2

The New Warriors are back in this 1999 Marvel series, and issue #2 puts the whole team front and center — a tight group shot featuring a blonde woman in white, a masked hero in blue, a figure with striking face paint, a blue-and-gold costumed member with goggles, and others clustered behind them, surrounded by colorful floating orbs. Steve Scott's pencils and Walden Wong's inks give the lineup a kinetic, confident energy that makes this feel like a team ready for anything. With the story "Artificial Lives" on tap, this issue promises some intriguing tension beneath that cool, assembled-and-ready cover.
