Night Thrasher #1 isn't content to just be an ode to a '90s icon it's aiming to be an actual character study. It's rare that a hero who isn't in Marvel's big leagues is afforded this kind of treatment, but it's a testament to the creative team that Dwayne Taylor's newest adventure is worth reading. Maybe the rest of the New Warriors could hopefully get the same deal. Read Full Review
Night Thrasher #1 isn't a bad comic but it also doesn't live up to its potential. A comic focused on gentrification while also exploring the stars of 90s comics to today would be a fascinating read. It dances around those concepts instead relying on reveals that are predictable but also only hit if you're really into the New Warriors. Overall, the is a comic for Night Thrasher fans that others will likely want to skip. Read Full Review
This issue's return to action also includes friends, foes, friends turned foes, and an impressive adventure hook in The O.G.I just wish I knew where it takes place chronologically. Read Full Review
The script for this story is so microscopic, it's even a bit too small for Marvel's street-level heroes. Read Full Review
Night Thrasher #1 is a uninspired mess of a book that does more to turn readers off to Night Thrasher than anything else.If you are new to the character, save yourself some time and frustration and seek out the New Wariors or the many cameos Night Thrasher has had in the past. Read Full Review
Damn, I really wanted to like this, but this is just... Not good. A very lackluster debut. I'll stick around for a while, simply because I've always really liked the character, but if this is the quality they're going to bring to table I probably won't stick around for long.
Night Trasher vs shoplifters. Ok, not what I expected for this first issue (and the art is abysmal)
