Champions Outlawed makes me think of Sherwood Forest. I hope the event has a person who is pushing for this not just the government.

I concur with the former. I appreciate that Sam, Miles, and Kamala are front and center once again. I wish Sam kept his updated look post-regaining his helmet, though. Second time he's had a design update that gets rolled back on.
I also concur with the latter. Poor Viv...
Concerned about what'll happen of course, but I'm happy that Champions is getting new life. Again. Poor Champions with it being screwed over by various elements. Hopefully 3rd time's the charm.

Yeah, the fact that Miles's and Kamala's solos are actually tying in to it should give Champions a much needed boost. The last time Miles's book used the Champions, in Bendis's final issues, he didn't even get the roster right (Cyclops and Ironheart together, when he left and she joined in the same arc - Scott should've been replaced by Nadia, who joined at the same time as Riri). G Willow Wilson pretty much pretended the team didn't exist. This is the first time the solos and the team book have truly been integrated. With Saladin Ahmed's support, Ewing should be on to a winner here.

I know, but it still stings. And the changes were still introduced prior to the cancellations and the books ending, which mean they still happened and should still be acknowledged and utilized in any forthcoming appearances. It gives off the vibe that Nova/Sam's story arc from Zub's run wasn't even read. It's visual consistency certainly wasn't carried over. And this applies to other characters, too, so what else is going to be disregarded...?
History of the Marvel Universe ends with a tease for future storylines... at least two of which relate to next week's Incoming! one-shot. spoilers:end of spoilers
The "interstellar reign of the half-breed" is a reference to Hulkling. And the other one that's easy to guess? "The rise of the outlaw generation" - aka our outlawed Champions!

And earlier in that issue... the team, Miles, Riri, Sam, Viv, Nadia, and Amadeus all have their origins recapped, alongside Silk, Ghost-Spider, Gwenpool, X-23, and Moon Girl.
Also, Rich Rider brought Sam along in Annihilation Scourge.

So many young heroes they had to fit them into one big splash page.

Can't say I was ever expecting these upstanding young men and women to become outlaw Superheroes, but it'll be interesting to see how they approach it. And they name a whole generation after it? Interesting.
Kamala was on an earlier page as well.
