I love what these three are doing in this comic. There are certain types of comics that you can buy. Some of them have a brutal story but the art makes up for it. Almost like it’s the art that is telling the story and the writing doesn’t matter and you can still justify purchasing it on the merits of the art alone. Without getting into the story yet, this comic could be one of those. The art is that enjoyable. Medina has a definitely J. Scott Campbell thing going on with his style, but minus the unruly tits and ass that Campbell has a propensity for. The inks and the colouring are equally solid and all three people working on this title flatter one another’s styles. Here’s hoping they stay on the title for a long time. Words - Kevin Grioux Who? Yeah…I said that too. I’ve never heard of his previous work so it’s likely you haven’t either. This is why reading comic books can be so fantastic though. A guy comes out of nowhere and blows you away. Going in with zero expectations and getting pounded on by just how much the writer cares about what he’s writing. I have a full run of the original New Warriors and I thought what they did to them to get the whole Civil War ball rolling was a bit heinous. This makes up for it though. I’m not going to spoil a single aspect of this story as I’m going to tell you to go out and find out the story for yourself. He fleshes out one of the main characters extremely well as well as the current social-scene that the character finds her in. This isn’t just another continuation of a story that has a “Issue #1!” slapped onto it to get sales. This is an introduction to something special. Something you don’t need to have any previous knowledge of the Marvel universe to enjoy. Buy this comic. Thank me later. Pictures - Paco Medina, Juan Vlasco & Marte Garcia

And I had/have no idea who Sofia is, but Grevioux clearly & quickly gives me everything I needed to know for the story he's telling. Medina's art was a bit of a revelation for me, as well. S'funny. After years of drifting away from Joey Q's Marvel, and feeling like I was <i>really</i> done after the lazy execution of Civil War, I find myself being drawn into the MU more and more - and it's because of cool, story-driven books like this. Still not buying NA #31 this week, but will keep picking up this and things like it, mostly written by Brubaker, Carey, Fraction and Slott. Yeah, this was a really good read.

I was disappointed to see him leave <i>New X-Men</i> right as the Magik arc started, but honestly, I'm liking this book quite a bit better than <i>New X-Men</i> I’ve been a fan of Paco Medina’s art for a little while now.
