Na época que eu li me interessei bastante por ser um time mais jovem mas tirando miles e Kamala não empolga tanto, são histórias individuais sem uma construção tão grande de personagens, a arte entrega algo bom mas mark waid está bem morno aqui

De los tantos y tantos super grupos surgidos a lo largo de las décadas de historia de Marvel Cómics, quizás los Campeones sean los más desconocidos. Parte de la culpa (y a la vez gran atractivo) seguramente fue amalgamar un conjunto de personajes más desconectados en apariencia de lo que eran los Defenders originales. Black Widow lideraba a Ghost Rider, Hércules o el Ángel de los X-Men y a tirar millas... La formación no se ha prodigado tanto como querría la editorial en décadas posteriores. Por lo que tocaba realizar un movimiento inesperado... Y tanto. Siguiendo a rajatabla ese dicho de "Renovarse o Morir", Mark Waid ha hecho borrón y cuenta nueva y recoge el nombre del grupo y su intención de reunir a personajes dispares para crear un explosivo grupo de supers juveniles. Cansados de que los héroes adultos parezcan menos preocupados que ellos por los daños colaterales de sus acciones o no solucionar verdaderos problemas, a la Trinidad Juvenil que conforman Ms. Marvel, el Spiderman de Miles Morales o el Nova de Sam Alexander, se les unirán el Hulk de Amadeus Cho, la hija de Vision, de la increíble serie guionizada por Tom King (que hasta ese momento juraría que no era canonica), y hasta el Cíclope adolescente arrancado del pasado en las páginas de All New X-Men. Con esta potente formación, este tomo presenta una nutrida batería de primeras misiones para los personajes que sorprenden por no temer encarar problemas sociopolíticos reales sin caer en el sonrojante panfletismo o suavizar estos asuntos. Tendremos cameos que animarán aún más las situaciones e incluso en la recta final de este recopilatorio la cabecera no se libra de estar inmersa en el evento Secret Empire con el Estados Unidos en pie de guerra impuesto por Capitán Hydra. Aún con todo, Waid no descuida para nada el aspecto puramente juvenil de los personajes. Y hay bastante tiempo para verlos ser adolescentes con las hormonas alteradas o solo queriendo pasárselo bien. A nivel de guion quizás podría decirse algo de los escuetos diálogos, pero creo que es intencionado teniendo en cuenta a los personajes protagonistas.

Un gran reclamo para acercarse a este cabecera claramente es el dibujo de Humberto Ramos. Su estilo "amerimanga" aquí está totalmente pulido y desatado. El dibujante ideal para este cómic que ofrece la vibra y frescura que seguramente hará que much@s jóvenes lectores se hagan con el tomo ya solamente por el aspecto gráfico.

2.75/5

a more interesting team than the young avengers, just wish it was one concise story (like runaways, which i understand is hard bc its a team up crew) bc it was just jumping around with no beginnings and no ends, I had such high hopes!!!

not my favorite collection - the story was disjointed and hard to follow between the chapters. Beautiful art though <3

I’ve really enjoyed my return to reading superhero books but it wasn’t until I started reading “Champions” that I felt the vibe I got from reading Claremont era X-Men when I was a kid. So glad books like this exist, both for me and my kids.

Champions: Because the World Still Needs Heroes is decent. It’s got a solid cast of characters: Miles Morales, Ms. Marvel, Viv Vision, Cyclops, Totally Awesome Hulk, and Nova, joining up together after getting sick of the Avengers. The art is fantastic, and the dialogue is good, but if you’re going to call this book a collection, I absolutely shouldn’t need to buy other books to know the context of some of these stories! The thing is, there were multiple points in the book where you would get invested in one story, then turn to the next page, and then it would be a completely different story altogether. I don’t know why this would happen, but it was so infuriating! I didn’t think I finished the full story when I finished this book. It just jumps from story to story so much it begins to get hard to track. That is probably my only complaint about this book, though, but that still brings it down a couple of stars for me, so 3.6 stars. Good, but not great. I wouldn’t recommend this if you’re looking for Champions, though. Hopefully at some point another collected edition will come out with actual comprehensible stories.

no me gusta el nombre del grupo, y odio que algunos bocadillos parezcan escritos por Woke-GPT (¡en 2017!), pero... cuánto mola que estos jóvenes se enfrenten a un sheriff fascista: o a esa panda de hijos de puta, los Autónomos (prácticamente, uno de los tipos de personas que más odio, los pijos de mierda, lo cual hace que sean los villanos más detestados y realistas que he sentido jamás). en especial, me quedo con la escena en la que, en el contexto holocáustico de Imperio Secreto, los jovencitos descubren unos olorosos cadáveres inocentes en un avión (no los enseñan casi, solo nos dibujan unos chavalines con caras de espanto, como mirándonos a nosotros, y, sin embargo, eso ya es suficiente). también me ha gustado saber de Viv después de haberla visto en uno de mis cómics favoritos, el de la Visión. curioso saber que este cómic sería inimaginable en 2025: el mundo se ha vuelto loco y solo estoy a salvo leyendo un tebeo.

I was a big fan of the original CHAMPIONS, so when I saw that this collection of 12 comics included Ms. Marvel and Nova--I couldn't resist. I enjoy Mark Waid's stories, and I wasn't disappointed.
Ms. Marvel is like a female Captain America in her righteousness and they even say so in the book. The Hulk is a bit arrogant and yet somehow adorable. I read the early stories of Nova and his father, so I was thrilled to see him in action here. I never read Viv before, she was a new character for me, but really interesting. I didn't realize that Miles Morales could turn invisible --when did that happen?

At the end MARVEL RISING was very reminiscent of the future world that MC2 with Tom DeFalco created (including Spider-Girl). I look forward to seeing what comes next.

I did like this, and I LOVE this format for the collection (this has issues #1-12), but I admit I had to pause several times to try and figure out wth was going on in the marvel universe. I was unimpressed by the Freelancers as villains. I very much like the core three of Ms. Marvel, Nova and Spider-Man and the rest were growing on me. I hope there will be a second collection!

I'm all about this young team. It's been a while since I read Vision and now I want to go back and read Viv's origin - she may be my favorite on this team. Kamala has lost a bit of her personality in this series but I do enjoy what they're doing with this new team.

[Emily · Rating 4 out of 5]

Super cute, I love them all. Of course, it wouldn't be comics without some major thing happening offscreen (i.e in another book) and making everything sort of confusing. But I'm used to that.

Me ha gustado bastante. Liviano pero divertido. Los personajes molan.
