*** The reception was so extreme that bashing the characters has become a staple of in (often reactionary) YouTube videos and TikToks about "why modern comics suck", even years after the fact, while often pretending the characters did see the light of day. So the characters quite literally only exist as targets of hate, to the point you could say its less "beating a dead horse" than it is beating a horse that died in the womb, while insisting it's alive.

Mostly Issue 58 and 59...but I do remember one issue based on group sexual assault and hazing by military cadets headline, I might need help on that.
Don't get me wrong, it is still rooted in American bias—even 90's mainstream liberal circle—from "headlines" (so evil Arab terrorists, entire conflict being treated as "milennial old grudges" while ignorant or ommiting Sykes-Picot partition that worsened it, and general bias towards Israel even if the comic try to say "radical on both sides" the mindcontrol instigator is rather "omitted"...keep in mind that even socially open-minded Christ Claremont is citizen of that country and would carry that bias along with main writers, Evan Skolnick and Fabian Nicieza, is socially liberal even before Perlmutter had clout in creation process). Call me a bit salty on that statement, but audience bias of 90's should be noted.

*** In the very same issue, Night Thrasher says that Asylum's actions showed him that even the New Warriors could hurt an innocent while trying to do the right thing. Sadly, this lesson was not kept in mind during ''Civil War''. Night Thrasher also says that Asylum will have to live with the guilt of his actions for the rest of his live, which is prescient of how the Stamford incident has haunted the New Warriors ever since.
