Daniel Kibblesmith on New Warriors #1

The video features Daniel Kibblesmith, the writer of New Warriors #1, discussing his fresh take on the iconic Marvel team. He shares how he initially found the original ’90s New Warriors intimidating but later grew fascinated by their edgy, forever-young vibe.

New Direction for the New Warriors

In this new storyline, the New Warriors have shifted roles from rebellious teens to authority figures mentoring a new generation of young heroes under 21. These young heroes are now outlawed from vigilantism due to a new law, adding a layer of complexity to their missions.

Introducing the New Team Members

Kibblesmith introduces the new team members, each cleverly named to reclaim internet slang and cultural labels as badges of honor:

Trailblazer A foster kid with a magical backpack inherited from her grandfather. She kicks off the action after helping Night Thrasher fend off a mysterious threat.
Screentime A tech-savvy hero permanently linked to the internet, embodying the concept of “infinite screen time.”
Snowflake and Safespace (twins) These siblings play off each other with complementary offensive and defensive powers, challenging the negative connotations of their names.
- Snowflake is non-binary and wields crystallized snowflake-shaped shurikens.
- Safespace is a protective jock who creates force fields.
B Negative A goth vampire-like character with a punny name referencing both his blood type and attitude, hinting at a connection to Michael Morbius.

Themes and Tone

The video highlights the team’s diversity, personality clashes, and youthful energy. The goal is to capture the spirit of the ’90s originals while firmly rooting the story in the present day. Kibblesmith emphasizes making the New Warriors feel “now,” with colorful characters and fresh dynamics that reflect today’s culture and challenges.
