The New Warriors Annual #1

The New Warriors burst onto the scene in this 64-page 1991 annual, Part 2 of the "Kings of Pain" crossover event. Mark Bagley's cover pencils, finished with inks by Mike Mignola, deliver a vibrant, energy-charged image of the full team — Namorita, Night Thrasher, Nova, Speedball, Silhouette, Firestar, and Marvel Boy — surging outward in dynamic formation around an armored, gold-and-black mechanized figure and a large, hulking pink-skinned opponent at the fore. It's a confident showcase of a young team ready to take on anything Marvel's early '90s had to throw at them.
