I mainly got into the TNW cause of the Vol. 1 #19, which I believe was the first Gideon revealed his powers. Gideon wasn't just an enemy of the team, but of their leader Night Thrasher corporate world. And the fact he beat them all butt naked was funny and so awesome. I should read the other volumes fully, but the little I do recall is Vol 2 was still in the same vain as 1, 3 became a bit cartoonish. Vol 4 I think was more in line with 1, and 5 was a nice mix of 1 and 3. I don't recall the plot for 6 was but I think it was still in line with 5, and though I wasn't feeling a new team of heroes that the original would train or that they'd be under 21, I was looking forward to checking it out.
