6 issue mini:

Written by WARREN ELLIS
Penciled by STEVE KURTH
Cover by BRANDON PETERSON
Initially, there were four: A Starbrand. A Nightmask. A Justice. A Cipher. They are manifestations of god-like power on Earth, chosen by the Universe. In the wake of the cosmic phenomenon that empowered them, they have been threatened, hunted, and attacked. And now, they’re about to discover that they’re not alone. Acclaimed writer WARREN ELLIS (THUNDERBOLTS) and artist STEVE KURTH (LAST OF THE MOHICANS) bring you the return of this new universe: one experiencing superhuman power for the first time.

Loved the first series of newuniversal, so I am really looking forward to this. Is there a HC collected edition?

Awesome stories. Can't wait for the new ones starting in May. Hopefully they won't do 6 issues and take 6 months off again...

Cheers/ Added to my Amazon wishlist. Hopefully the second mini will be a success such that we can see minis from Ellis every so often visting these concepts and characters.

CanNOT wait...

Honestly speaking here... I collect "New Universe" but I have not read more than two issues. (I like to collect everything and then sit down and read it) But what I get out of anything NU is that Valiant feeling, so here hopefully soon, I will be able to sit down and read brand new material (for me) and now there is LITERALLY brand new material coming out in the future... good times, people... good times.

aaarrgg! it still bugs me to see Sawyer as Starbrand and Bruce Willis as Justice, but it looks like the new artist is better at least.

arrgh. I hate to be so negative, but I just read issue 1 and I give it a big fat meh.

Writing and art both failed to impress, and I can't say that I really care where this story is going (is it going anywhere?).

sorry to be a party pooper, but I'm dropping this series.

Don't feel bad. I dropped the "new' New Universal series after issue #1, it had me going 'HUH?' alot

Thanks. I somehow misread that post and thought he was talking about the first series.

Im still trying to fill the original 80's stuff.

Maybe then ill give it a go, but i would rather Marvel just picked up the old one and gave us something from there.

I couldn't agree with you more on that.

I was very pleased when they published the one-shots. Sooner or later, maybe we'll get something from the original New Universe again.

Dude,
i was more than pleased with the one shots and the back ups in Amazing Fantasy too.

They have a history so god only knows why they persist in trying the whole revamp thing all the time.

Bring em back you crazy fools and leave the revamp alone already.

Hey Knightt , don't you still have some of these that you were going to send my way

Same goes for me on the doubles thing if I have them & you need them just let me know.

Another newuniversal one-shot has been solicited by Marvel for August release.
NEWUNIVERSAL: CONQUEROR ONE-SHOT
Written by SIMON SPURRIER
Penciled by ERIC NGUYEN
Cover by BRANDON PETERSON
Five thousand years ago, civilization was held in the mighty hand of the slayer called STARR, who defended his kingdom from all invaders. But what were these invaders? Simple monsters…or something more? In this, the second one-shot story exploring the history and mythos of the NEWUNIVERSAL world, writer SIMON SPURRIER—hand-picked by NEWUNIVERSAL’s WARREN ELLIS—and visionary artist ERIC NGUYEN bring to life a history like you’ve never imagined!
48 PGS./Parental Advisory …$3.99

I re-read the first newuniversal mini, and the 2 one-shots as well as the two issues of shockfront in the past couple of days.

The stories have some flaws, certainly, but it felt a lot fresher than so much stuff from the big two, and that is from the books being 6-8 years old. I so wish that Marvel/Tom Breevort had shown more of a will to get Shockfront finished when Ellis finally sorted out the time to revisit the work that he had apparently lost to computer issues.

Typical Ellis, whatever the reason. He jumps from concept to concept.
