New Warriors #16
In "Blood and Iron Part 1," the New Warriors face a shocking betrayal when Sykes and Bev take command of the SHIELD taskforce, turning on their former allies. With Ripcord and Skybolt seemingly lost, the team flees to their base—only for Thrasher to activate a secret project: a time machine built over months. As SHIELD closes in, Bev joins the Warriors in leaping through the device, landing in a future where Iron Man’s influence has reshaped the world. Written by Kevin Grevioux and illustrated by Reilly Brown, with inks by Juan Vlasco, colors by Val Staples, and letters by Virtual Calligraphy and Joe Caramagna, the cover by Nic Klein captures the moment of departure with tense, kinetic energy.
