Champions Appreciation 2020

[Digifiend]

Remember that Ant-Man and the Wasp comic, where Nadia helped Scott get home for Cassie's birthday? At the end, Scott took Nadia to watch some sports! He already is trying to be an uncle to her, the same way Hank was for Cassie (who was in the same boat - when Cassie joined the Young Avengers, her Dad was dead, just like Nadia's is now).

And that is exactly what I am talking about...unfortunately neither of them has books now so it can't be built on.

Yeah, Nadia's party in that Unstoppable Wasp issue is the only follow up so far.

#1 getting another variant with the main 3 in front, as it should be.

With Bombshell, Power Man and Ironheart behind them.

With very little Scott...he was basically there to drop Cassie off and then disappeared. Maybe to avoid a confrontation with Mockingbird over Scott's betrayal during Secret Empire.

I kind of feel like this is going to end up being the core team of this run in-spite of all the other characters we've seen in that group shot.

[Digifiend]

It's a variant, I wouldn't put much stock in it. It's simply an incomplete roster. I bet the brief was just to make sure Kamala, Miles, and Sam were present.

I wouldn't expect the full team to be on any cover to be honest. There was 15 active members at the end of Zub's run. Only one, Patriot, has neither appeared in Outlawed nor in art we've seen for Champions #1. And at least three new members have joined up, Starling, Squirrel Girl and Moon Girl. The team has at least 17 members. However, for various reasons several members were incapacitated during the one-shot, though those characters should all be back by issue 5. Since the Bunker has been captured by the New Warriors, they can't afford to lose Pinpoint. If he was arrested they'd have no means of quick transport. So I don't see him not being a main player.

As I suspected, Simone Di Meo wasn't able to finish the arc before the lockdown. Artist Bob Q confirmed on Twitter he will be doing the final three issues of the book: https://twitter.com/RobotJQ/status/1292642154733400065

I've never heard of this Bob Q, and I guess nobody else here has either? He announced on July 13 that he was drawing Champions, so it's taken four weeks for us to notice!

Is that Nadia next to...Amka? Does Nadia get captured during the mini?

I wonder if that cafeteria is at the CRADLE detention facility, but I don't recognize the girl in glasses or the other kids in there. I guess that could be Gwen in the back of the second pic, but I doubt it. The only black girl with a ponytail I can think of is Shuri, but I doubt that's her.

[Digifiend]

Shuri should be in Wakanda, that's not her. That does look like Nadia though - her bob haircut isn't exactly common among the teen heroes.

I am going to assume this is yet ANOTHER error on the Marvel website.

I looked at the history of the issues of Miles Morales I have gotten in the mail and saw this:

Future Shipments
Total Remaining Issues = 8
Last Issue to be shipped will be "Miles Morales Spider-Man #26 Cover A Regular Javier Garron Cover (Outlawed Tie-In)"

While Ironheart said

Total Remaining Issues = 2
Last Issue to be shipped will be "Ironheart #14"

I guess this is why they were trying to give me a refund on unsent issues. Never mind my subscription was for 12.

[Digifiend]

Ironheart #14 would make sense if they mean 2020 Ironheart #2. But that title was released digital first due to Coronavirus, and unlike most of the other digital firsts, hasn't had a print release scheduled!

Champions #3 and any other Outlawed titles released in December (Power Pack #2 and New Warriors #2?) will run with no opposition from DC - both Teen Titans and Young Justice have been axed.

But my subscription only included 12 issues. I signed up before issue one came out. Now if they were to print 2020 Ironheart and send it-I have no issue with that.

Now the Miles one gets me because it says issue 26 of an Outlaw tie in. That had to be an error or Marvel is doing it for 8 months (mercy).

New Warriors 1 was listed as coming out 8/26. It's not listed in Preview World. So I doubt that is true. I have a feeling this stuff is coming out in December.
