Awesome New Female Characters: Arana + Nomad
So it's Awesome New Female Character Week. What better time to check in with the hot new non-cannon romance find of 2010 ! I'm talking about the "Girl Without a World"... Bucky NOMAD: Rikki Barnes!* and" the Heart of the Spider" Araña ALL NEW SPIDER-GIRL: Anya Corazon.
So here's a nice moment from issue #4 of the supremely entertaining (though recently canceled) Young Allies.

Minor Spoiler: After-Shock isn't Electro's daughter. In fact non of the Bastards of Evil are villain's children except: [SPOILER!]



*Ok Rikki technically isn't that new a character, but I tend to ignore the whole Heroes Reborn thing and pretend she's an awesome character created in the last two years.

The book is being canceled with issue 6 (which is coming out tomorrow coincidentally) even though issue 7 was solicited.
I haven't really heard either way if that crossover was still going to happen.

I'm guessing they might have used the name to hold onto it for copyright purposes as Young Allies was a Golden Age book.

It's a small wonder Deadpool succeeded.

But Firestar was a founding New Warrior.
Toro is based on his Counter-Earth counterpart and was only created because they decided to use the Young Allies title.
So they could have used the New Warriors title and still had Nomad, Arana, Firestar and Gravity as the cast. But the name does need a rest after volume 4.

What I'm saying is I'm pretty sure they didn't just make Toro because they chose to make them the Young Allies, but that they even made the book because they wanted to make a new Young Allies.
As for it needing a rest, this was, uh, only the third volume published with that name, there hasn't been a volume four. It's also been out of use for over ten years, I don't see why it really needed a rest.

I'm not really sure what point your trying to make about Thunderbolts, they don't seem to be at all related to this discussion.

Honestly the best name for this book is Young Avengers. I know the Young Avengers are popular with fans, but I wonder if Marvel is regretting giving the name to a book that gets published so rarely.

Sorry about that.
