It's Champions #7 time! The idea of a superhero/supervillain fight being staged for the cameras is hardly a new one Spider-Man made a career out of it Certainly, the idea of battles being played out in the court of public opinion is a trope of the superhero medium But it is possible that today's Champions[...]

The Champions Outlawed event was planned to be published a year ago, only for the pandemic lockdown to hit just as the first issue was published There were then longer-than-usual delays to the printed and scheduled issues, as the real world hit the series and crossover schedules If this had come out on time, it[...]

The infodump elaborates. While in Champions, we have Scott Summers remembering his time as the time-displaced Tyke-Clops, and doing something about it.

The events of X OF SWORDS have put the resurrection protocols[...]

Today's Champions #3, part of the Outlawed event, sees The Champions being hunted by the government, who seem to have a mole on the inside And with a mix between a media broadcasting event and a concentration camp going down, which is probably never the greatest of combinations And it recalls another time, and the[...]

A new Champions #1 was meant to launch out of the Outlawed mini-event, but only the Outlawed #1 one-shot made it out before shutdown and the books fell off the scheduling list But according to the Marvel website, it looks as if Champions #1 by Eve L Ewing and Simone Di Meo is getting a[...]

Or, indeed, by Storm. So we get to see The Champions reactions… and that Kamala Khan also reckons he has a point And he really, really does. Though Hulking is not in that camp… So… which side are you on? Kiddy heroes or elected politician concerned for the children – the ones not locked up in cages at[...]

And in next week's issue of Champions #7, it's Ms Marvel's turn Following the Champion's exploits during War of the Realms (and a super-mega-crossover event could make anyone cry), Ms Marvel is quitting the Champions!
