Quick question...these kids are the offspring of super villains? I thought I heard that somewhere.

Sad to say, I didn't even give this book a chance when it first came out; I saw it as further flotsam from the TSUNAMI (boy, I bet Marvel cringes about naming it that NOW... ) launch. I'll have to check out V2#1 and the trades for the prior run.

Just thinking about the fate of the Tsunami titles now...
New Mutants --> Relaunched as New X-Men: Academy X after #13, in Top 30, about to get a spin-off mini Runaways --> Cancelled before the brilliant Digest nos came in, quickly uncancelled and a relaunch planned as soon as the artist had got a bit ahead Mystique --> Cancelled @ #24. Longest unrelaunched survivor Venom --> Cancelled @ #18, and survived that long only on name recognition (titles which launch with 90k orders should not get cancelled at #18. This bombed simply by virtue of being unreadable) Sentinel --> Cancelled @ #12, a digest didn't save it Bill Jemas' Namor --> Cancelled @ #12 Inhumans --> Cancelled @ #12, just been given a digest Human Torch --> Cancelled @ #12
Ummm... ow. Did better than the following years' equivalent offerings though, of which Iron Fist got done @ #6, Warlock @ *#4* only Cable/Deadpool is making to #15 (and that had been due to launch months earlier, but got delayed half a year by the artist getting pulled twice to do other stuff), with Cap/Falc getting killed @ #14 (a Capless relaunch may or may not have Priest writing) and a Runawaysesque relaunch due for She-Hulk after #12.

Looks like they're still in love with the idea of a kid/teen-friendly subline; Arana is a Marvel Next book, as will be POWER PACK and MACHINE TEEN (gag Hope that's not the official name...), both being written by Mark Sumerak. MT is a Machine Man refitted for this kids line. The cover is up in this week's LitG.

They're all the children of former crimelords who acted in various occupations
Nico - Has a mystical staff stuck in her soul that gets released whenever she bleeds and she can cast spells with it (though never the same spell twice)
Karolina - Daughter of Hollywood starlets, vegan and confused possible lesbian (to quote from an [url=]FAQ[/url] "According to Brian, she's confused. She's got a crush on Nico, but she's not sure if that could be due to the fact that she's an alien. Maybe all aliens in her race are gay until they hit 18, and so forth) Alien with light-related powers. Flying blaster, basically, power.
Gert - Telepathic link with her pet raptor. Daughter of time-travellers.
Molly - Superstrong mutant, daughter of telepathic mutants, and by far the youngest of the group
Chase - the powerless one & token guy. He had flaming gauntlets & X-ray specs he "borrowed" from his genius parents in series 1, but they were destroyed
Most of the rest is in the issue.

I finally was able to 3rd tpb of this yesterday. This series just keeps getting better & better. Some of my favorite parts were the kids getting "Frogger" and Gert/Chase moments. I can't wait to read the new #1.

Oh, yeah. It's well worth the money. Even in times when I had to think about which books I should drop, I never considered dropping it. I liked it a lot and v2 #1 was also a great read.
