"From the Ground Up!" kicks off New Warriors Classic #1 with a high-stakes dual threat: while Thrasher, Nova, and Speedball battle a fire at Stane Industries, Nita, Firestar, and Vance are stranded on a malfunctioning space shuttle carrying radioactive waste—headed straight for the moon. With the Inhumans’ fate hanging in the balance, Lockjaw makes a dramatic rescue, leading to an unexpected alliance with the Star Thief as the team races to prevent catastrophe. Written by Fabian Nicieza and brought to life with dynamic art by Mark Bagley, the cover by Bagley and Butch Guice captures the chaos perfectly.
