Champions #1
"Beat the Devil, Part I" kicks off a bold new chapter for the Champions, as the team’s growing roster brings both excitement and new challenges. With the original members assessing their expanded team, Spider-Man stands apart—his usual energy replaced by quiet unease, hinting at a shadowy deal with Mephisto that could change everything. Written by Jim Zub and illustrated by Steven Cummings, with colors by Marcio Menyz and Erick Arciniega, and letters by Clayton Cowles and Virtual Calligraphy, the issue’s dynamic art and grounded tension are perfectly framed by Kim Jacinto’s striking cover.

The Champions have greatly expanded their membership, and the original members are evaluating the performance of their many new teammates, while staying openly congratulatory. Spider-Man seems unhappy and disconnected from the high spirits of the day, perhaps because it looks like he's made a mysterious bargain with Mephisto.
