Nova Prime (Richard Rider) Appreciation 2019

[Digifiend]

I think the problem with Champions is that so many of their core characters have their own books. That limits the development the Champions writer can do.

And more than that, Champions is clearly trying to play it safe, something you can't do when you want to tackle real world subjects with any meaningful purpose. Everyone is against sex trafficking and getting water to isolated villages is nice, but hardly pushes the envelope.

New Warriors tied to do that. And Fabian had characters that were his alone to develop, allowing him more freedom. Champions isn't bad, but Marvel is clearly playing it safe with the series.

Huh? Back in the day, Night Thrasher and Nova had solos and Namorita was also co-starring in Namor. Justice had a mini-series too. How is that any different to four of the current fourteen Champions having solos? In fact, it was more of an issue in Waid's run, as of the original six member Champions team, only Viv Vision didn't have another book. Zub's expansion means that there's plenty of other characters who can be developed... chiefly his own creation Snowguard and Sam Alexander, whose solo was cancelled before Zub took over Champions, as well as Viv.
