''Warrior'' is a short-lived comic by Team Warrior (conceived and written by Wrestling/{{WWE}} wrestler Wrestling/UltimateWarrior, with Jonathan D. Smith, James Callahan and The Sharp Boys on the art department). It depicts the adventures of the Warrior, his quest to master the philosophy of "Destrucity" and journey through the Terrain of Testament to set right what was wronged. On the surface, it sounds like a simple story, but deep down it is a horribly mangled combination of Creator/MichaelMoorcock-inspired fantasy, [[Literature/TheArtOfWarSunTzu Sun Tzu]]-styled ramblings, bad artwork à la Creator/RobLiefeld and a convoluted plot that makes the ending of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' look simple in comparison.

* ColorCodedSpeech: There are three colored narration boxes on the Terrain of Testament: one for Warrior's aggressive side, one for his philosophical side, and one for his inner monologue. To make things even more confusing, the aggressive and philosophical colors were inverted in the first issue they appear. Rather than [[ThrowItIn go with the colors as already established]] Warrior put a NoteFromEd in his introduction in the next issue explaining the mix-up.

!!''Warrior'' provides examples of:
* AuthorFilibuster: The comic is meant to elucidate the reader on Warrior's bizarre mystical-reactionary ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve philosophy.
* ArtShift: Happens in Issue #4 due to James Callahan being replaced by the Sharp Boys.
* AxCrazy: Warrior.
* BleepDammit: Warrior yells F-F-U-U-C-- at one point of the story.
* ChewingTheScenery: The comic does its best to emulate Warrior's acting.
* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: The comic basically boils down to this: reality is at least partly subjective, and stuff we think and believe has as much power over reality as what we do. Except he phrased it in a much more baffling manner, with made up words. In other words, his personal philosophy is this trope.
* CutShort: The comic only lasted for four issues, not counting the Christmas special.
* DontYouDarePityMe: When Warrior returns from the hospital, his butler gives him his wheelchair in order to help him relax. Warrior flips out at this and tosses the wheelchair into the stratosphere.
* EldritchLocation: The Terrain of Testament.
* FauxlosophicNarration: The comics filled with the Warrior's very own "philosophy", that is completely nonsensical.
* GrandTheftMe: An evil version of Warrior from the Terrain of Testament takes over the Warrior's body in the real world.... we think.
* TheGrinch: Exaggerated far too much in the form of the Warrior doing murderous, violent, and sexual things to Santa, his reindeer, his elves, and his property.
* InvincibleHero: Warrior.
* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: Maybe. Depending on the nature of the Terrain of Testament.
* LullDestruction: A rare comic example. Every page is loaded with paragraphs and paragraphs of text. There is no panel that doesn't contain at least two huge text boxes. The only page with the least amount text is the first "real" page.
* MeaninglessMeaningfulWords: Complete with unnecessary ellipses, [[PrecisionFStrike Precision F Strikes]] and made-up phrases.
* MindScrew: Not only is it not clear what exactly the overall story is supposed to be about, the artwork makes the transition from panel to panel very awkward.
* NarratingTheObvious: Whenever the narration ''does'' makes sense, it's this.
* NegativeContinuity: The story between the different issues is only barely connected, with unexplained changes between settings and characters.
* PerfectlyCromulentWord: Destrucity, Foke[[labelnote:*]] Focus [[/labelnote]] , Jet-Jack[[labelnote:*]] Adrenaline [[/labelnote]].
* PlotHole: Because the comic is more or less a RandomEventsPlot, plot holes come up in abundance.
* {{Portmanteau}}: Destrucity is the '''truc'''e between '''dest'''iny and real'''ity'''; in other words, staying true to what you are right now while striving for your ultimate destiny.
* PurpleProse: A majority of the pages in the comics are covered with large text boxes dedicated to Warrior's rambling, internal or otherwise.
* PyroManiac: The Warrior burns down Santa's home.
* RandomEventsPlot: What little plot there is in this series is either completely random or symbolic to the point of being incomprehensible. It doesn't help that the recaps, which might provide some insight, are printed in unreadable font and page style combinations.
* RatedMForManly: Practically the premise of the comic is Warrior fighting everything that breathes with bare hands while shirtless and showing off his ridiculously muscular body while ranting on about what makes a warrior.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Warrior's quest is to, among other things, take revenge on the demons who beat him up at the beginning of the story. Unfortunately, we never find out who these demons are or why they are attacking Warrior in the first place
* TakeThat:
** In issue #4 Warrior beats up an entire truckstop full of people, starting by beating and humiliating a guy who looked exactly like HulkHogan in the bathroom.
** After the end of that same issue, Warrior goes on a long rant against one of the artists from the earlier issues.
* WallOfText:
** Virtually every panel has several text-filled boxes of indecipherable narration, in three different styles. One of them is for the Warrior's aggressive side, one for his philosophical side and one for his thoughts.
** The most prominent examples are the inside front and back covers of every issue. The misuse of background colors often makes those pages hard to read.
* WordSaladPhilosophy: The comic book was essentially a long promotional tract for his philosophical ideas. "Destrucity" is the "truce between one's destiny and one's reality".... and that's about ''it'' in terms of this philosophy making any sense.
