☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection gathers the earliest adventures of the New Warriors, a team of young heroes that debuted in the early 1990s. Led by Night Thrasher, the initial lineup includes Marvel Boy (Vance Astrovik), Namorita, Firestar, and Speedball, who band together to confront threats like Terrax and the Juggernaut. The volume also ties into the world of Thor, featuring appearances by the thunder god and Eric Masterson, as the Warriors find themselves caught up in larger cosmic and Asgardian conflicts.
In "From the Ground Up!", the New Warriors take their first steps as a team, training under the guidance of Chord and Tai, but Night Thrasher’s past resurfaces in the form of Midnight's Fire and Silhouette—his former ally and a woman he once injured. The tension grows as the group grapples with the weight of their leader’s history and the volatile edge he brings to their mission. Written by Fabian Nicieza and illustrated by Mark Bagley, with inks by Al Williamson, colors by Andy Yanchus, and letters by Michael Heisler, the issue’s cover by Mark Bagley and Larry Mahlstedt captures the intensity of this pivotal moment.
Linda Truesdale and Don find themselves drawn into Night Thrasher’s bold experiment when he gathers young heroes to form a new team. With Terrax’s sudden emergence from underground stasis, they’re thrust into their first real test—proving they can stand together when the world needs them most.
In a pulse-pounding chapter of *The New Warriors: Beginnings*, the mighty Juggernaut crashes into New York with a vengeance, his path set toward Thor in a clash of titans. When Thor suddenly falters—overcome by an unexplained weakness—the young heroes of the New Warriors step into the fray, ready to face a foe whose name is as fearsome as his power.
When Thor falls in battle, the New Warriors step up to face the unstoppable Juggernaut—proving they’re more than just a team of young heroes. With the odds stacked against them, their courage is tested as they fight to hold the line, unaware that their greatest ally may be just waking up.
In "Mirror Moves," the fledgling New Warriors face their first real test not on the battlefield, but within their own ranks, as Night Thrasher is forced to confront the ghosts of his past. When his former ally Midnight's Fire and his former lover Silhouette reappear, the line between justice and vengeance begins to blur, leaving the team unsettled by the intensity of their leader’s resolve.
In "I Am, Therefore I Think," the New Warriors—Becky, Debbie, Karen, Kelly, and Jupiter—find themselves under scrutiny when Genetech enlists the Mad Thinker to monitor their lives. As his observations grow increasingly personal, he unexpectedly reaches out to warn them that their privacy has been breached by a shadowy corporation.
In "Genetech Potential," the New Warriors infiltrate a high-security lab to uncover why Genetech has been monitoring them—only to face off against the company’s own engineered superhero team, Psionex. With Speedball’s last-minute arrival turning the tide, the team barely escapes, but the mystery of Genetech’s intentions remains unresolved.
