New Champion Sidekicks Leap to Success

By August Tales

Marvel’s comic-verse spun a brand new web last year, introducing a dimension of previously unseen companions to our favorite masked vigilantes. Indeed, of course, Spider-Boy was the star-spangled arrival. Consequently, they launched a series of variant covers tagged the "New Champions". Take note of our beloved Gwenpool who tickled readers’ imaginations. Now, after the variants’ rousing success, Marvel drops another bombshell as they announced an impending New Champions running series. Steve Foxe wears the writer’s hat while Ivan Fiorelli grabs the artist’s brush in an exciting collaboration.

The New Champions Break Ground

Marvel kindled fans’ excitement with the debut of wholly new Marvel heroes on their variant covers. They didn’t stop at the covers, though. Thus, fans will now follow the intriguing adventures of these characters in the flesh. They will make their full-blown debuts in their very own running series, headlined by Liberty, Hellrune, Moon Squire, and Cadet Marvel. Expect the troupe to expand as more disenchanted heroes answer the call and lend their skills. Caution, though, not everyone will don the hero’s mantle. Some are harboring connections to the underbelly of the Marvel universe. Can they ride out the potential sabotage before they take flight? Who are these new heroes? These are the burning questions fans round the world are asking.

Meet The New Champions

Imagine a rag-tag mix of unlikely heroes: four kids blindsided by Hydra, Scarlet Witch’s protégé with her veiled past, a cursed roller derby athlete, and a runaway from Wakanda. Although calamity pulls them together by Hellrune’s enigmatic powers, they must defy the odds to work as a team. Should they fail, disaster looms in the shape of the Cult of Hela.

The Creatives Behind The Series

Steve Foxe, bubbling with excitement, speaks about the new series. His mind buzzed with potential storylines and alterations for these imagined sidekicks as soon as he encountered the New Champions variants. Foxe is exhilarated to introduce a fresh squad of Marvel’s champions and villains. His partnership with Ivan Fiorelli, a collaboration with the shared vision of weaving these characters seamlessly into the Marvel universe fabric, promises to be electric.

In sync with Foxe’s enthusiasm, Fiorelli’s fervor shines through his words. Adding new faces to the Marvel universe spins a yarn of freshness and adventure. He eagerly awaits how these heroes’ visuals will develop and change with the progression of the series. For Fiorelli, the series is a labor of love he hopes readers will cherish as much as he did the artwork. For a writer like Foxe, who’s harbored aspirations to pen a ‘teen hero team’ throughout his career, it’s the nexus of identity exploration and fantastic, otherworldly elements that make this project so exhilarating.

Unveiling The First Issue

Marvel pulls the curtain over the series’ first issue. Steve Foxe takes credit for the storyline, while Ivan Fiorelli and IG Guara concoct the graphics. Other creative souls like Gleb Melnikov, Paco Medina, Luciano Vecchio, and Federico Vicentini contribute to the diverse variant covers. The first issue of New Champions hits the shelves on January 8.
