Miles and Kamala are done with the Champions. Sam seeks his Nova helmet at the forced behest of someone that wants to battle him as Nova. Viv's hearing that inner voice again. And with this going on the last thing the expanded team needs is betrayal from within! I can sort of see why this series was cancelled (poor sales) at the end of this volume (Champions #10), but I really do think Marvel needs to try longer at nurturing a book before cancelling so quickly. On the flip side creators need to be more adventurous! 6 out of 12

Nova finally gets his helmet back which is good because I was tired of hearing Sam whine about not having powers. This story was better than the second half. Blackheart corrupts some of the team pitting them against one another. I didn't feel like Zub got how Blackheart's powers worked properly. He's completely taking over members having them outright try and kill one another. You can tell the story was hurt by how it was rushed to a close as the book was cancelled for low sales. Steven Cummings art is great.

This (sadly, final) volume starts off with Sam's journey into space with the homicidal Kaldera to reclaim his Nova helmet. This was probably my favourite part of this book, as I love Sam and I'm very happy to see him back in the spotlight for an issue.
The remainder of the book is Champion vs. Champion as part of the team is possessed by Blackheart (Mephisto's son, for those unfamiliar) and pitted against their teammates. This was an entertaining enough hero vs. hero battle and ends in a satisfying manner, even if it was a bit of a deus ex machina… or rather diabolus ex machina in this case.
I'm upset to see this book ending, as I love my little Champions to bits. The final page promises they will return soon and I truly hope that's the case.

Champions is the little book that could, but unfortunately, it can't any more. These final four issues do their best to tie up all the loose plot threads that Jim Zub has been seeding for the past six issues (and back further into the previous volume), but it's just not enough room to do the stories he's been building justice.
The final confrontation with Mephisto and Blackheart feels rushed, and there's an entire Ultron subplot that gets forgotten which is just unfair. I do like that Zub revisited the two-Vivs plot from Waid's run to give it more of a well-rounded conclusion, but I just wish we had more. More, I say!
What Zub doesn't forget in his haste to finish the series off is that it's the characters that make this series as compelling as it is. With Sam's return to the Nova mantle (which better stick this time, I swear), and the reconciliation of Ms. Marvel and Miles, the Champions core are reunited just in time for the ending, which feels hopeful and full of potential for the future. I just hope we get to see it.

And this is how Champions end. It´s bittersweet because Jim Zub was finally connecting with the team dynamics and the entire (and huge) cast.
It goes without saying that the crossover events worked against this title since it was launched. It’s one thing to have a cohesive universe and an entirely different thing to miss important aspects of the main characters because their stories are all over the place and not necessarily in this book.
As much as the shared universe idea is one of the things that make Marvel great, the lack of consistency within a series can mark its end.
Champions could have stood in its own two feet, but instead, it got 8 feet, with 6 of them being completely invisible to us.
Too bad.

Volume 1 was better.
Saying that this ended decently. Wrapping up why the champions are champions, what they fight for, and why they are friends. It's more cheerful and upbeat than the first volume and dealt with most of the story threads in a decent way. The art stays decent throughout. The thing is, it all feels just decent when it could be more. Hopefully they do big things in the future with the outlaw storyline. This is just okay. Nova still boss though.

Wish I could give it more, but it was a chore to finish, thought I'd like it as well and even more the way volume 1 was building things up and the whole team with their problems, and what happened with Mephisto etc. but... didn't do it for me.

Ok it's official. Champions are a major letdown.
Prefer each character's series. They're all just stupid crossovers.

Jim Zub's second (and final) volume of Champions finds the team split between it's remaining original lineup and all the folks they've recruited since the first version of the series launched a few years ago.
Portions of the book were really interesting, but these characters--with some notable exceptions--seem to still be mostly at the concept level as heroes, rejuvenations/variations on old concepts that while not a bad thing in themselves, fail to rise above that starting point and generate actual loyalty and deep interest from the readers.
I feel like Miles, Kamala, Viv, Riri and a few others have been given enough time here and in their own books to justify their existence as more than hip new versions of hero x--even if some of them certainly started that way. But I couldn't find myself much caring how the fight turned out, and whether or not the team survived.
Setting that aside, seeing those four come together and face a threat to their idealism--which is the primary focus of this book--was interesting, especially in the light of various internal battles they've all been fighting in recent books. So this became, for them, a moment to re-assert first principles. And while that can be cheesy and off-putting it was largely done successfully by Zub and co. here. I did feel it went on a bit too long at the end...but I write that off to the creative team knowing it was a series send off and slightly over-reaching.
If you're already invested in this series, its perspective on the MU, and the characters involved, you'll enjoy Zub's finale here. If you're not, and you somehow came to pick this up because you're curious, this definitely isn't the place to start.

End the run on a feel good positive...
Can't do much when you know your series will be ending soon. You can fix a few characters and shake up the emotional levels on the team.
Miles has had to come to terms with his own , 'One More Day' and Sam gets to go after the black Nova helmet (sidebar..didn't he get it taken from him in his own series around 2015? Get a handle on that, chief.)
As a testbed for characters to use later, 'Champions' keeps things interesting ...enough. It isn't A grand slam, but they try with what they have.

I didn't expect this to be the end of the run. This was one of my favorite titles :( It was paced well and didn't feel rushed which can happen when a story is wrapping up. Great story that explored some different dynamics between characters. Definitely going to miss this team. Champions Charge!

Este quarto e até então último volume de Os Campeões é focado no personagem Samuel Alexander, conhecido também como o Nova. Ele embaraca ao lado de uma inimiga sua numaviagem espacial para resgatar seu capacete negro que foi apreendido pela Tropa Nova. Sem seu capacete, Sam perdeu os poderes e desde então tem se sentido um peso morto na equipe dos Campeões. A equipe também vai precisar enfrentar a ameaça do filho de Mefisto, o Coração Negro, desafio este que vai colocar frente a frente a equipe original dos Campeões contra os novos e muitos recrutas da equipe. Apesar de premissas bastante interessantes me parece que os volumes três e quatro da versão brasileira de Os Campeões não manteve a mesma empolgação que Jim Zub conseguiu imprimir nos dois volumes anteriores. Também os desenhos de Steven Cummings para os Campeões lembram um estilo que remete aos mangás e que, ao meu ver, não casam muito bem com a equipe. O que devo ressaltar, no entanto são ac ores do brasileiro Marcio Menyz, que dão aquela vistosidade que o quadrinho de uma equipe adolescente precisa. Um quadrinho com seu pontos a considerar e outros nem tanto.

Messy is the best word to describe this, and not in a good way.

*4.34 Stars
Notes: This was more of an above average read for me, even though as this is another volume where I unfortunately didn’t get to read the first one, since it was enjoyable enough, it still wasn’t too much of a favorite at the same time. The reason I have for that is that while I was occasionally enjoying it like I thought I should, I was still totally, totally focused on reading the story. The amount of many different characters in it (some of which are Kamala Khan, Sam Alexander, Miles Morales, and Riri Williams to name the few I am more fond of), required me to pay as much attention as I could to what events occurred. What happened here were essentially various different plot lines intertwining with one another, that while I tried my best to understand what happened, I would have been able to much better if I had also read the first volume. Even along with that, I still could process it enough to include in this review that this story is extremely complex, and there are very unfortunately bad and evil paranormal threats occurring in it, that loads of the main good characters will have to fight. I won’t add in much else potentially spoiler-wise as of yet, though, what occurred in this volume was essentially some super heroes that are in actuality slightly younger than actual avengers, yet capable of doing everything they literally can to still fight and help other people at the same time, while effortlessly trying to take down some villains that I’m literally too terrified to name right now. I have my reasons for that, since I tend to focus on good characters anyways.
If that sounds complex, what I had to keep track of in around the one and a half hours I had the time to read this was a lot of fighting and dialogue between multiple super heroes, so I was glad I had previous knowledge of Champions and what they typically do beforehand. This is not some low level team by far, and they are extraordinarily capable of taking down really evil supervillains, some of which don’t even come from a typical earth dimension, as it was eventually found out. So, this can read like a horror comic at some points, as such even reading this around midnight like I did was only possible because of the horror tolerance that I already have. I would not recommend that unless you’re not too anxious, since some of the stuff in this comic might actually be anxiety-inducing to some others (including references to dark magic use and mental telepathy tampering for not good purposes), so please be careful and very cautious reading it, should any of that sort of content bother you. However, I was already aware of this series for a while, and I was glad to get to read it along with some other comics recently, so it was good for a fast read with many easy to understand scenes in the beginning. I’m glad I ended up understanding nearly the entire storyline and why what occurred took place eventually around 40% of the way through. While this isn’t necessarily that much of a calm comic to go through and read, I’d still recommend this to those who are interested in it even potentially, since I somehow managed to read it as a standalone by itself. If that’s not saying enough as to how much I actually did enjoy this - I really, honestly am glad I found a copy.

There's some good and bad here. Let's start with the bad:
The issue of Nova tacked on here to get this to be TPB-length sucks. It's so disconnected from EVERYTHING happening in Champions, and doesn't even really do anything that makes me want to rush out and buy/read Nova.
Champions never made me care about Falcon, Dust, Patriot, Locust, Power Man, or Pinpoint, and even thrust Bombshell pretty far into the background. I also feel like, for one of the earliest members of the team, I never really got much from Amadeus. He's a smart Hulk and I get his personality, sure, but with Nova, and Marvel, and Spider-Man and hell, Snow Guard and Viv and Wasp and even Locust we got enough to know what their background and origins are. How Amadeus became a Hulk, how he became Brawn, all of that kind of stuff? Never learned anything.
Remember when the dog got possess by Ultron or whatever at the end of Weird War One? Neither did Zub, apparently (and he WROTE the damn thing!)
The good though:
Knowing they had to end the book due to poor sales, Zub et al do the smart thing ultimately and re-focus on Spider-Man, Nova, Marvel and Viv, giving us a story that highlights the characters we actually wound up caring about over the course of time.
I like at least that though Zub apparently forgot some of the subplots he was weaving throughout the entirety of his time writing Champions, he did tie back into Beat the Devil and wrapped up the Mephisto/Blackheart stuff well.
The art is generally really good.
I'm down for hitting the reset button on this book though, so I'm curious where it winds up going when I start reading the 2020 series.

It seems as if "Champions" has come to the end of its run. (Or at least it seemed like that when I reached the end of this Volume) The Volume can be divided into two simple plot lines:
1) Sam heads off into space with Kaldera, a criminal who wants to kill him but won't until he is restored as a Nova so that their end battle can be justice for her defeat and torture since their last meeting. First invading a Nova ship, then back to Earth to find it, Sam Alexander is restored as Nova again.
2) In a very odd turn of events, Riri turns against Viv and blasts her. Somehow, Blackheart (who I haven't seen since Ghost Rider comics from the early 90's) has begun to turn the dark desires of a large portion of the Champions against themselves. Ms Marvel returns to the team, as does Miles, and both of them are able to rout the team to overcome Blackheart's influence. (Is this explained in Ironheart maybe? I feel like the presence of Blackheart came out of nowhere...)
A good Volume and a decent run for this Marvel young upstart team. I look forward to seeing them in the future, perhaps side by side with the Avengers.
Recommend, though only if you've been reading from the beginning.

My rating for this feels kind of wobbly - both for the story and the author's note at the end.
I was really surprised that this was the final volume, but it did wrap things up. This was a pretty good story, albeit forgettable. I was going to rate this lower before realizing that this was actually the end - and even though I wasn't super invested, I appreciated it.
That said, I really disliked the author's note. Part of it might be because I'm not as "old school" with comics (I keep up with the trade paperbacks, and those I usually wait for at the library before buying), but it felt to me like Zub was blaming readers for not buying every issue. I know he isn't, but saying stuff like "I'm sorry if I let you down" just feels indulgent. Obviously everyone did what they could with the constraints, but this isn't the Champions I fell in love with before.

A really solid read, though... is Champions ending? I couldn't quite tell if this was the end or just a transition to a new writer? Kinda bummed if it's the end; I've actually really enjoyed this series. I especially enjoyed, in this volume, getting to know Nova better. Then, in the final story arc, the whole "dark entity turns heroes against each other by forcing the worst parts of them to the surface" plot wasn't exactly anything unique, but it was done well and did justice to the characters. My favorite part, though, was actually that bonus Nova story at the end. I loved the father/son superhero team-up. Kind of like Batman and Robin, but with less brooding. I'm definitely adding that to my to-read list.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

Pretty decent. I love seeing all my favorite characters like Snowguard, Dust, Ms. Marvel, and Riri interact with each other. But, the story is your classic “team gets possessed and has to come to their senses” trope. I’m not a huge fan of this, because it almost always results in the heroes having to look inward and remember who they are to come back to reality. Didn’t feel original here.
Art is good as always, but just hoped for a better story like the last volume. Plenty of great Jim Zub Champions content out there, so there’s bound to be some lesser arcs here and there.

The best part of this collection is that Sama got his helmet back and he was Nova again.
I loved that Dust became an official Champion and it was nice to see Powerman again.
It was a sad bit that the series ended here and it was nice that the Annual was all about Snowguard. A very interesting character. Very much Snowbird from Alpha Flight, although she was a huge Guardian fan up in her inuit village in Canada.
Good showing.
Sad Ending.

60/100.
Esta vez sí que he reconocido a los personajes. Creo que el núcleo principal de Champions debería mantenerse inalterado porque los Champions secundarios pueden ser ignorados y no pasaría absolutamente nada. Esta vez sí que he notado la frescura que había echado de menos en el volumen anterior.

A kind of a cool way to do a civil war style story within a team as Blackheart uses their insecurities to turn everyone against each other. Also nice to have Nova back at full power even if it felt rushed a little. But honestly I just don't like big teams as some of the members I know so little about but still not a bad story.
February 27, 2020
I just want a fresh start to this series, the original Champions team written by Jim Zub. An actual new issue 1, fresh story. Everything here is what I wanted, but it's just middling and one can't help but wonder what Jim could have done if he wasn't tasked with wrapping up the series.
April 20, 2020
This really suffers from the whole prematurely cancelled comic phenomenon. There were some good, if not very good, progression of previous issues' story arc(s). And then you combine that with rushed story in this. It stinks and it hurts really good characters (imo).

Sad it ended after only two volumes but it ended WELL at least. They wrapped everything up pretty satisfyingly, despite the abruptness. I still think the devil man was weird, but the son was weirder...

This book is a great example on how to handle a superhero team. With a mix of characters, from different backgrounds.

This series got weird when it abandoned the core six or however many there were. And it set up that thing with Mephisto without a payoff. And something or other. Was OK.

A little rush, but Zub did what he could. Wish it could've lasted longer and not been hijacked by one big event after another. Includes an issue of Nova as filler.
