The New Warriors

The third volume of the New Warriors was a six-issue mini-series that sees the superhero team cast as the stars of their own reality TV show and ultimately led to Marvel's Civil War crossover in 2006 and 2007.

To this mix DeFalco added Night Thrasher, an original character to serve as the team's founder and leader.

It was written by Jay Faerber and pencilled by a variety of artists, including Steve Scott (comics), Karl Kerschl and Jamal Igle.

A six issue mini-series of the title was released starting in June 2005, written by Zeb Wells and illustrated by Skottie Young.

The line-up includes previous members Namorita, Night Thrasher, Nova and Speedball, along with one new character, Microbe.
