Let's talk #NewWarriors!

First billed as "heroes for the '90s," they're all about searching for the truth, making hard choices and having fun adventures along the way. The team of friends has grown to include teens and young adults from across the Marvel Universe.

Thanks for joining in the fun!

“I’ll miss you too, Rich.”

The 💞 moment Nova & Nita fans had been waiting three years for finally happened! About to step away from the team, Namorita dropped in to see Rich privately where the two gave way to their emotions, resulting in a passionate kiss goodbye.

Evan responded to my prompt asking about the Richard Rider Spaceknight concept I had learned about years before. It was all going to be tied into a big cosmic storyline involving Kymellians, Xandarians, and Skrulls!

I’m glad Rich stayed Nova but sad we never got to read that.

“He better be all right!”
“Good to see you too, big boy.”
“Not lookin’ so bad yourself, muscles.”
“Sorry to hear that.”

February is not long enough to share all of Rich and Nita‘s flirting, so here are four of my favorite 💞 exchanges between them from their early days.

Almost burst out in tears at the opening theme song for the new Muppet Show! While the voices might be off (except for the legendar Dave Goelz still performing Gonzo!), the writing and spirit were as perfect as I could hope. Totally recaptured the silliness, cheesiness, and heart of the original.

“You, though, I could become good friends with.” 💞

Nova and Namorita first met in New Warriors #1. There was an immediate attraction… on Richard‘s part. As a bonus, we got a classic Rich “Blue Blazes!” exclamation paired with her “Suffering Shad!” at this meet cute.
