But if we are serious about moving away from decompression and focusing more on one and done and two and done stories then the writers are going to have to use storytelling tricks that haven't been used in awhile. It's going to be...interesting to say the least.

Lots of Champions action again in July. Kamala has three other books out (Magnificent Ms Marvel, Marvel Team-Up - featuring her, Carol and Mar-Vell? - and Marvel Rising), and she has a NEW COSTUME! Riri and Nadia also have issues out. Miles appears in his own book and Spider-Gwen: Ghost Spider.

Finally! Happy to see Sam's arc progressing (and also glad it isn't gonna be dragged out), and hope it'll be somewhere positive. Still surprised regarding who is facilitating this.
Wonder what do they mean by "find redemption"? Not sure he needs to redeem himself about anything, unless it means redemption for losing his helmet and having to be stuck on the sidelines.
This is the all-new all-different Kamala Khan.

Ah, so she's going for what looks like a more traditional, superhero-y look.
Looks like it's armored too - perhaps to prevent a repeat of what happened in the recent Champions #1-2?

Whoops! For some reason the cover uses the old logo.

Miles is with the mother of that girl he didn't save. They talk, he changes a light bulb, then she asks him to have a drink before he leaves. Then they see the invasion in New York on TV. Miles then does leave, and we see what the rest of the team is doing. They're in Australia.

So I'm curious about the timing of all of this.

I guess Miles ends up running into Baldur before he could actually rendezvous with the others.

Probably.

After all, he'll be heading to New York, but the team is in Australia.

Don't ask Zub about the chance of anyone else joining the team. There's someone showing up briefly in issue 6 but for now the book will stick with the cast it has.

So looks like Sam is going to be gone for the War of Realms....too bad...would be interesting if he stole his helmet, beat Kaldera and then got chased back to Earth by a few dozen Nova Corpsmen only to drop them all into the middle of the War.
