10 Best Comic First Issues This Week (Jan 2, 2019)

3. Champions #1

Champions Vol 3 1 2019
Marvel Comics/Kim Jacinto

The Champions have become a global force for good, but is it all it's cracked up to be? While new members are abundant, the core team has a history together which just builds. However, something dark lurks under the new movement as Miles Morales may have made a deal with the devil.

The Champions is a title that really has come into its own to become a team worth following.

The most apt comparison to make would be that it is Marvel's final answer to Teen Titans when that title was about a growing family dynamic, inter-team dating and basically less focused on the superheroics and more on being a character drama. Jim Zub handles this brilliantly, catching up everyone who's not been reading without being too heavy-handed with exposition.
