The return of the New Warriors!

When Night Thrasher strikes a mysterious deal with a Reality-TV producer, the team moves out of New York to help the villain-plagued denizens of small-town America. But will their filmed exploits be uplifting, or just exploitative? And is heartland America ready for Big-City Super-Heroics?

Collecting New Warriors #1-6, written by Zeb Wells (Spider-Man/Doctor Octopus: Year One) and illustrated by Skottie Young (Human Torch).

23 pages + cover • October 2005

The Warriors' van breaks down on the way to the next town. Meanwhile, Ashley pitches the show to reluctant Hollywood money people, who think the small town angle won't play with audiences. Ashley goes over all the different personalities on the show with producers and explains how they joined the team. In the end, the producers approve the show but determine they want more conflict, so they decide to add a new member to the team that will introduce that conflict....

New Warriors #4: "Nucar, Nutown, Numember"
22 pages + cover • November 2005

In the auto factory town of Nuponder, Michigan, housepets are disappearing. The Warriors visit Nuponder, which is a gleaming, sterile and super-efficient town that manufactures German automobiles. The pet stalker appears to be Terrax the Terrible, and the team stakes him out. The stake out is disturbed by "new" New Warrior, Debrii. Her sudden appearance and the confusion that sets in thereafter allows Terrax to escape, and the team does not take well to her. Later, Terrax is revealed to be a robotic construct, and the true source of the pet disappearances is revealed to be Albert Einstein, Virginia Woolf and Sigmund Freud!

New Warriors #5: "The New Warriors' Excellent Adventure"
23 pages + cover • January 2006

The bad guys in Nuponder reveal themselves to be robots formerly in the control of the Mad Thinker, and the stolen pets were merely a ruse to get the New Warriors' attention. The Warriors square off against the robots and eventually Debrii and Microbe save the day.

22 pages + cover • February 2006

The team heads to Smyrna, Delaware, a town which has elected the Corruptor as mayor. The van runs into an old couple who are able to beat up Speedball, and they also find the rest of the townspeople to be rude and violent. The team heads off to the mayor's mansion, where they find the Corruptor is "harvesting his sweat" in order to influence the town. The New Warriors come under the influence of the Corruptor and fight amongst each other, and only Microbe has a clear head and takes out the Corruptor. Ashley tells the team the show has been cancelled.
