new warrior #2 review

this next issue is actually boring to me, the first one barley kept my attention even though it was just a basic team book. the problem was that they writing wasn't engaging i wasn't able to care about the characters. with could have worked in the 60's but they needed to catch up and give these characters some good backstories. this one actually is where we learn about night thrashers past.
the book starts with three cops getting killed by midnight fire. that's the guys name not what did the killing. this guy who has the ability to have a horrible name is the villain. while the team are training they get news of the dead cops who had a note on them that said "thrashed by the night", i wonder who they are trying to lore out.

we see Dwayne fighting crime a few months ago i guess he felt suspenders would protect him from the bullets flying at him. apparently the crime he helped stop was actually a double cross that midnights fire had been in the middle of stopping from the inside. god dammit he has a stupid name! and if they don't call him that they call him fire which is still stupid!

anyway, night thrasher, midnights fire and silhouette decide to fight crime together, this is the last time i mention their names! i swear. as night thrasher puts it they "thrashed"the gang operations.during this he was doing fire's sister sil.

apparently as they were trying to get a in with a new gang a cop spots them.


but seriously look at that they were begging to get caught, its the middle of the day and they are out in the open with assault rifles! there's even people all around them!
the consequence of their stupidity is that sil gets shoot up real bad and the gang guy and the cop dies. but in the eyes of midnights fire this is all night thrashers fault of course this reference makes sense cause they were on the streets when they were fighting!

then they go to china Town to fight fire's gang. then the story becomes a bad Saturday morning cartoon where the hero has to face his arch villain. thrash fights fire at first is losing but get the upper hand,but before he can kill him but then silhouette appears alive but not so well.


then the plot becomes stupid. because it comes to light that fire killed the cops so that no body would notice his warehouse stocked with huge illegal highly dangerous tech weapons.

okay now think about this he killed three cops so no one would come after him! that's like the opposite of what you are supposed to do! those he seriously think that no one would notice dead cops? even the start of the issue they make there plans clear kill cops and then use the weapons to "obscure my involvement". how does that work! i thought he wanted to keep these guns secret.so to keep them secret he has to start using them! the very noticeable and impossible to miss munition.

oh but it gets better fire's gang then threaten to fire their weapons into the crowd of people, yes the people they are apparently paid to protect and with the weapons that they were willing to kill to keep secret.



the warriors take out the weapons
Sil dis owns her brother and the warriors are left to wonder whether thrash would have killed fire if he wasn't talked down or not

.

so that was issue 2 and was it any better? no....no it fucking wasn't.
this plot is so bad i can't think anything else to say. the villian is bad, the the story is bad the hero is so bland that he could been replaced with any 90's anti hero, and the art felt rushed for some reason(the drug bust looked like day time!)
i hate giving any comic a low score but i have to 1 out of 5. you can easily skip this issue and you wouldn't have to worry about missing anything.

join me again next time as i review issue 3, stay tuned and spread the word thanks.
