New Champions: Change Is Coming
Meet the next generation of Marvel heroes set to change the world! What do four kids whose lives were derailed by Hydra, Scarlet Witch's mysterious protégé, a cursed roller-derby jammer and a Wakandan runaway have in common? Not much! But when Hellrune's mysterious powers activate to bring them together, they'll have to learn how to work as a team quickly - or face the wrath of the Cult of Hela! Young heroes are summoned from far and wide, but who among them has what it takes to become a New Champion? That's the name they'll adopt, but it doesn't belong to them - and the previous Champions will definitely have something to say about that! Will meeting the Avengers live up to expectations? Will Nightdrifter be friend or foe? And will the lives of the New Champions be cut cruelly short by Hela, the goddess of Death?!

There are few things I like more, in the comicbook world, than a new team of all-new heroes, so I was happy to see this bunch of teen heroes from Spider-Woman were getting their own book.
This first volume got off to a slightly shaky start; I thought it depended too much on readers having read the characters’ introduction in Spider-Woman; but it was firing on all cylinders by issue four.
The artwork is pretty good, if slightly too cartoony for my tastes.
I’m really looking forward to volume two!

The Assembly is back...
It's that time at Marvel where we take some cast off characters and slap a new name on them. This time, we go for something even MORE unoriginal. They're not 'The Champions' (that team is still grouping up). They name themselves the "New" Champions. Much like the Young Avengers, most of these characters have a loose connection to current top tier superheroes
HYDRA wasn't too original when they gave them all codenames. They were even less original when they gave them powers.
Oh well, 8 issues is enough for now. We just have to wait for the next author to try and retool these kids.
----------
Bonus: The net to catch cast off characters is huge. Hulkette? Kid Juggernaut and Spider-Boy? Check.

How many new characters does a book need? By issue 6, this feels like it's some sort of ADHD simulator, constantly throwing new plotlines and people at the reader. I like some of them, sure, but I don't want to have to wait ages to actually get something meaningful out of them. Some focus would be nice.
