The issue is also a double-sizer, containing about double the amount of content as a normal book.

The issue follows the team of heroes attempting to prove themselves as warriors. The team consists of teenage pastiches of already existing heroes, including Young Glory (Captain America), Arachniboy (Spider-Man), Shrinker (Ant-Man), Weather Witch (Storm), Spear Girl (Thor), and Universe Kid (Captain Marvel). Together, they face off against the evil Lord X'ill under the guidance of the alien A.I. Coeus, who has gifted them the power to be the New Warriors of the world.

Plot (unfinished)
He begins describing his friends and highly-detailed Golden Age versions of themselves appear beside them as they get their powers and costumes. Young Glory is finally revealed to the audience. Splash page of the New Warriors charging towards Lord X'ill and an army of monsters while their theme song hovers over their heads as if this whole thing was a Power Rangers intro. The next page, the group is hanging out on Coeus' ship. Shrinker types something on a computer. Spear Girl death glares him. A light on Shrinker's computer starts flashing. Cut to the crew in a small van on Earth. Weather Witch is kicking the back of Universe Kid's chair. Shrinker's computer starts blinking. It's revealed the van has stopped in an empty alleyway. Young Glory drives directly into the wall, going straight through it and into a spaceship that was disguised. He starts driving through the ship, running over monsters firing at them. A robot runs in front of the van and winds back a punch. They all jump out of the van as the robot crushes it with a punch. Young Glory tosses his shield at the robot and clenches his fist, the shield returning to him as he does. The group continue fighting the robot, working together as a team in order to defeat it. Arachniboy is the one responsible for beating it, webbing the ceiling and pulling down a piece of the roof to crush the robot. Spear Girl gives Arachniboy a thumbs up and he returns it, smiling as he does. Young Glory's eyes light up with terror. A monster runs up behind Arachniboy, impaling him. Everyone either screams in terror or looks away from the sight. The monster takes the spear out of Arachniboy, who drops to the ground. Universe Kid tackles the monster and starts beating it, saying nothing as he does. Spear Girl runs over to Arachniboy and takes his mask off, holding him in her arms. Arachniboy places his hand on Spear Girl's cheek, leaning in and kissing her before the life fades from his eyes and he falls back, dead. Shrinker walks over to Universe Kid, who is still beating the monster, placing her hand on his shoulder. They all look at each other and gather in a circle, putting their hands together and make a promise to each other. Lord X'ill is seen silently sitting in his base, speaking to a golden humanoid robot. Lord X'ill grabs a trident next to him and stabs Gild through the chest, killing him instantly. He then stands in front of his door with the trident, waiting for the New Warriors. The door is blown off by Spear Girl, who stands there with the remaining Warriors, all of whom are staring at X'ill. All of the New Warriors power up and stare at him. X'ill sighs and lifts up his trident. The heroes fight for a bit, with X'ill having the obvious upper hand. He eventually knocks both Shrinker and Young Glory into a wall and they start talking while they're on the ground. Shrinker whispers something in Young Glory's ear. Shrinker nods and Young Glory calls on his shield, running up to X'ill and fighting him alongside Universe Kid, Weather Witch, and Spear Girl. X'ill once again manages to beat the heroes, knocking Young Glory, completely knocking out Spear Girl, stepping on Universe Kid's chest, and grabbing Weather Witch by the throat. X'ill tosses his trident through the air, crashing it into a wall. As the trident hits the wall, Shrinker suddenly grows back to normal size, revealing she's been impaled and has died. Weather Witch mumbles something. X'ill's trident flies towards him. He grabs it and turns to Weather Witch, punching her in the stomach so hard she coughs blood before she stops moving completely. He drops her and moves off of Universe Kid, who crawls over to Weather Witch's body. Lord X'ill raises his trident, ready to impale Universe Kid. However, he stops completely. X'ill drops his trident on the floor and Universe Kid turns around, revealing that X'ill's hands have been cut off by none other than Spear Girl, who has managed to get up from X'ill's attack. Young Glory tackles X'ill, pinning him to the ground and placing his shield against X'ill's throat. X'ill starts laughing as Young Glory raises his shield in the air and brings it down on X'ill's neck, completely decapitating him. Young Glory, Spear Girl, and Universe Kid, the last remaining New Warriors, stand together over the body of their greatest enemy. A beeping is heard and Young Glory pulls out a communicator, answering the call. He crushes the communicator. A close-up on Young Glory's face reveals he's become desensitized and is expressing no emotion at all. He turns to Universe Kid, who punches him in the face. Universe Kid walks out of the building and Spear Girl helps Young Glory off the ground. Young Glory solemnly hugs Spear Girl. Later, the two are seen outside of their hero costumes sitting on a park bench. Time starts passing, with the two of them on the bench as it does. A year passes in each panel, the two slowly growing older and growing closer together on the bench. When they're closest, Spear Girl kisses Young Glory's cheek and after that, the two seem a lot closer. However, as they age up the city behind them grows worse and worse. The final panel shows Spear Girl sitting by herself. She looks at her watch and Young Glory runs up to her, taking his jacket off he sits next to her. Claire points to a billboard behind her with a picture of Doctor Doom's mask on it and the text "Always Watching" over it. Claire looks at the ground, twiddling her thumbs. Claire waits for a second. She turns around, revealing Dennis is holding a wedding ring. Claire starts crying and hugs Dennis. Claire and Dennis walk into their home, Dennis kissing her before they do. Unbeknownst to them, a man dressed in a version of the Captain America uniform watches them from afar.
 * Young Glory (narration): Just one year ago, my friends and I were normal teenagers. And then, out of nowhere, we were dragged into a war that spans the entire universe! While hanging out in a diner together, we were suddenly teleported into an alien spaceship where we saw what looked like a giant holographic head!
 * Coeus: I am Coeus, the last remaining of the Technolons and I require your assistance! Monsters from unknown places have suddenly begun appearing all over your planet of Earth and I need an army to stop them! Will you be my army? Will you be your planet's New Warriors?
 * Young Glory (narration): We all agreed and suddenly, we were transformed into superheroes just like that!
 * Young Glory (narration): Shrinker! Once the up-tight student body president, now she has the ability to shrink at will to any size, her strength growing the smaller she is!
 * Shrinker: Good things come in small packages!
 * Young Glory (narration): Universe Kid! A former jock and bully at our school, now the power of the universe is in his hands, granting him the durability of a planet and the power of a sun!
 * Universe Kid: I'm only using half of my power!
 * Young Glory (narration): Spear Girl! A former orphan turned Coeus's assistant. With the power of the Spear of Thunder, she is able to cause sonic booms so powerful they rip holes into buildings!
 * Spear Girl: In the name of Coeus, I strike you down!
 * Young Glory (narration): Arachniboy! All the powers of a spider in the body of a boy!
 * Arachniboy: Not Spider-Man, don't get us confused!
 * Young Glory (narration): Weather Witch! A foreign girl who doesn't quite understand other cultures but who makes up for it with her ability to control the weather. She can summon hurricanes, lightning, and much, much worse!
 * Weather Witch: I cannot be beaten!
 * Young Glory: And finally there's me! Their fearless leader, Young Glory! The ultimate teenage patriot with a shield that gravitates back towards me whenever I throw out! Together, we are the New York City Warrior Force, better known as the New Warriors!
 * Shrinker: And with that, the ship's auto-repair system is fixed.
 * Arachniboy: I still can't believe that X'ill got into our ship and uploaded that virus... I mean, how'd he figure out the password to the door?
 * Shrinker: Maybe he has cameras planted somewhere and heard one of us say it.
 * Universe Kid: Good theory, but I just spent the last hour flying around the ship searching for cameras. Couldn't find anything.
 * Young Glory: Well, however he did it he's gonna pay.
 * Arachniboy: Hell yeah, we're gonna kick his ass!
 * Spear Girl: Don't spout profanities in front of Coeus, please.
 * Arachniboy: Oh, right, sorry.
 * Weather Witch: When will our next attack on X'ill be? I cannot wait to confront him once and for all!
 * Young Glory: Let's not get ahead of ourselves, X'ill doesn't show his face very often. And when he does, he's usually got an army by his side. I doubt we'll get a chance at beating him very soon.
 * Weather Witch: Well, when he does finally show his repugnant face again, I'll be more than ready to beat him!
 * Arachniboy: Hell ye--
 * Arachniboy: He... heck yeah?
 * Spear Girl: Better.
 * Arachniboy: Heck yeah!
 * Universe Kid: Man, you just let her push you around, don't you?
 * Arachniboy: What? no way, I'm my own man!
 * Universe Kid Oh yeah, sure. Don't hide it, we all know why you do anything she says. You two like each other, don't you?
 * Weather Witch: Oh, glorious! Will I be invited to the wedding?
 * Arachniboy: Har har...
 * Weather Witch: I wasn't saying that in jest.
 * Arachniboy: Um...
 * Spear Girl: There will be no wedding. We do not like each other. End of story!
 * Universe Kid: Hah, yeah right! Then why're you so embara--
 * Young Glory: Stop bullying them, Universe Kid.
 * Universe Kid: Oh come on, he knows I'm joking! Right, guy?
 * Arachniboy: Uh... s-sure...
 * Universe Kid: See? Me and him are buddies!
 * Shrinker: "Him and I".
 * Universe Kid: Shut up.
 * Shrinker: Get your grammar right and I will.
 * Shrinker: Huh?
 * Young Glory: What's going on, Shrinker?
 * Shrinker: I've been scanning the computer this entire time and apparently the virus that X'ill corrupted the system is very easily traceable, meaning we may be able to use it to narrow down his location.
 * Universe Kid: In English.
 * Shrinker: How do you not understand what I said? Whatever. It means we can track him down.
 * Weather Witch: Impecable work on your part, Shrinker! We finally have a way of finding his ship!
 * Spear Girl: We can take the fight to him!
 * Arachniboy: Heck yeah!
 * Young Glory: This is great! Good job, Shrinker! Now, all we need is a plan of attack...
 * Universe Kid: This is gonna be awesome!
 * Universe Kid: Can you please cut that out?
 * Weather Witch: But it's a good way of exercising my legs for the amount of running we're about to do.
 * Universe Kid: Glory, can you please tell her to stop?
 * Young Glory: No, she has a point.
 * Universe Kid: You serious?
 * Young Glory: Maybe you should start kicking the back of my seat to exercise your legs.
 * Universe Kid: ...Nah, I'm good...
 * Shrinker: Okay, I think we're... here...
 * Universe Kid: ...You sure that thing isn't on the fritz?
 * Shrinker: Nothing I own ever goes on the fritz...
 * Young Glory: Hm... do you guys trust me?
 * Weather Witch: Excuse me?
 * Young Glory: Do you guys trust me?
 * Weather Witch: Well... of course we trust you. Why?
 * Young Glory: I'm gonna drive into that wall.
 * Arachniboy: What!?
 * Universe Kid: You're crazy!
 * Shrinker: Why're you worried? You're not the one who's gonna be hurt by this!
 * Young Glory: See? I knew this building wasn't here before!
 * Universe Kid: What if you were wrong?!
 * Young Glory: But I wasn't, was I?
 * Young Glory: Uh oh. Everyone out!
 * Arachniboy: Ohmygodohmygodohmygod!
 * Spear Girl: I couldn't have phrased it better myself!
 * Young Glory: Alright, New Warriors... Let's! Beat... these... bastards!
 * Shrinker: "Beat these bastards"?
 * Young Glory: I'm still working on the battle cry.
 * Spear Girl: All due respect, you've been working on a battle cry for months.
 * Young Glory: Shut up.
 * Arachniboy: Hell yeah! I mean, uh--
 * Spear Girl: No, you deserve that one.
 * Young Glory: Look out!
 * Arachniboy: Huh?
 * Spear-Wielding Monster: Kehehe...
 * Spear Girl: Kevin? Kevin! Are you still with us, Kevin?
 * Arachniboy: ...Claire...
 * Shrinker: It's dead, James. It died after your first punch...
 * Universe Kid: I know... I know... Oh god, I know...
 * Young Glory: We've got to... we've... I'm not... Universe Kid, we have to--
 * Universe Kid: Don't call me that anymore, Dennis! This isn't some superhero mission anymore! Kevin just died and you have the goddamn nerve to still call me by that stupid name!?
 * Young Glory: You're... right... I'm sorry, James... I agreed to be this team's leader cause I thought it'd be fun. I thought we'd have, like... Spider-Man adventures! I didn't... I'm sorry I talked you all into this...
 * Spear Girl: No. I'm the one who insisted we do this. If you want someone to blame, blame me for this, James...
 * Universe Kid: ...You know what? I don't think it matters whose fault it is... I don't care anymore... and after this, I quit.
 * Shrinker: James...
 * Universe Kid: Are you on their side?
 * Shrinker: ...N... no... You're right. After this, I quit.
 * Young Glory: That's it then...?
 * Young Glory: This'll be the last mission of the New Warriors.
 * Lord X'ill: What is your report, Gild?
 * Gild: The New Warriors' invasion of the base is getting tense. They managed to slaughter our forces and they haven't been holding back since one of our soldiers killed Arachniboy. Things are looking grim and at this rate, they'll be breaking into the main room any second now.
 * Lord X'ill: I see... Gild, you may be a robot but you're one of the greatest soldiers I've ever known. Never forget that, will you?
 * Lord X'ill: Welcome, Warriors.
 * Young Glory: ...Why...?
 * Lord X'ill: I'm assuming you're referring to your friend Arachniboy, correct? Trust me... this is for your own good.
 * Shrinker: This... this was never your M.O! You always tried to steal our powers, you never tried to murder us! What made you change your mind?!
 * Lord X'ill: This whole time I was more or less trying to force you to retire. I wanted you to give up as heroes. I--
 * Universe Kid: why!?
 * Lord X'ill: Let me finish. Initially, I just wanted to strip you of your powers, as Shrinker pointed out. But after many failed attempts I realized I couldn't make you retire... Even if I did manage to take your powers away, you'd more than likely continue as crime fighters without them. After I had that epiphany... I realized I had to kill you...
 * Lord X'ill: I miss being the good guy...
 * Young Glory: Damn it! How did this guy get so strong?
 * Shrinker: Yeah, and what did he mean by he "misses being the good guy"?
 * Young Glory: I don't know but he's obviously crazy... we're gonna need a plan to beat him...
 * Shrinker: ...Hm...
 * Young Glory: You sure you can do it?
 * Lord X'ill: For what it's worth, I really am sorry for all the things I'm about to do. You were all great people. Great warriors... and I'm sorry.
 * Young Glory: Jessica!
 * Lord X'ill: Trying to sneak up on me by shrinking down? Quite smart on her part, but I saw it coming.
 * Lord X'ill: Hm?
 * Weather Witch: Can't... breath...
 * Lord X'ill: No worries. I'll make sure this is quick...
 * Universe Kid: Svetlana? Svetlana! Are you still with me, Svet--
 * Lord X'ill: She's dead. I punched her hard enough to destroy her organs. Her heart exploded and, seconds later, she died. Don't worry, she was only in pain for 2.5 milliseconds...
 * Universe Kid: You... you bastard... you bastard!
 * Spear Girl: Finish him off.
 * Lord X'ill: What!?
 * Young Glory: ...Before I do this... why?
 * Lord X'ill: What do you mean why...?
 * Young Glory: Why did you target me as well? I don't have any powers. All I have is my shield. If you were only interested in our powers, why did you go after me?
 * Lord X'ill: Oh, if you only knew what I know...
 * Coeus: What's going on? Did you do it? was the mission a success? I can't detect Shrinker, Arachniboy, or Weather Witch. Are they okay?
 * Spear Girl: ...Burn in hell.
 * Young Glory: We quit.
 * Spear Girl: What the hell, James?!
 * Universe Kid: I... hate you... so much... And I hope I never see you again.
 * Spear Girl: What's wrong with him?!
 * Young Glory: No, he has a right to be angry after all this... I was the leader and I let you all down... I'd be angry too if I was him... I'm sorry, Claire... I should've done better...
 * Spear Girl: You did your best, Dennis... You couldn't have possibly known this was going to happen...
 * Claire: You're an hour late.
 * Dennis: Oh come on, I haven't been late once for these meetings and you point out the one that I am late for?
 * Claire: Can you really blame me for worrying? It's dangerous out there, ever since...
 * Claire: I thought he caught you...
 * Dennis: Claire, we've been hiding our powers from him for years at this point. We're basically masters of it at this point, what makes you think he'll be able to catch us?
 * Claire: I'm just... worried, okay...? I don't wanna wake up one morning and find out you've been forced to be a part of the... "Avengers" if you can even call them that at this point...
 * Dennis: Trust me, if the Avengers ever come after you or me I'll make them regret it.
 * Claire: Promise?
 * Dennis: Promise.
 * Claire: Good...
 * Dennis: Uh oh, I know that look... What's the bad news?
 * Claire: I'm pregnant.
 * Dennis: Wha... oh my god. Claire, that's... amazing!
 * Claire: Dennis, listen... I don't think I want to bring the baby up in this world... What if... what if it's like us? What if it develops powers that we can't control and Doom finds us? What would we do?
 * Dennis: We'll... I'll be honest, I don't know. But I can hear in your voice that you want this baby just as much as I do. So how about we at least... try? That's all we can really do, right?
 * Claire: ...Okay... okay. I'm... gonna be a mama...
 * Dennis: You know, truth be told, I actually wanted to talk to you about something too.
 * Claire: What is i--
 * Dennis (narration): It's been about 12 years now since Doom conquered the world. Nobody's sure of the exact details except for me and Claire. Doom managed to get into Coeus' systems and hacked into the ship. He got very excited at the fact it had a giant laser pointing down... Using it, he blew up the Baxter Building while the whole Fantastic Four... and their families were inside. Nobody could manage to break the ship's shields and, after blowing up all of Wakanda, the heroes were forced to surrender. Now the only "heroes" in the world are superpowered people Doom forces to work for him under the threat of bombs in their brains as a part of his Avengers. But, even in a world as terrible as this, I manage to cling on to hope. All thanks to Claire being by my side.
 * Faux Cap: That's so sweet it makes me wanna vomit...
