Champions #5 (42)

In Champions #5, Brawn and Viv break into the CRADLE holding facility to free their fellow teen heroes, sparking a moment of honesty and reconciliation as Viv confronts her past actions. With the group united, they plan a public broadcast to expose the truth behind Kamala's Law and CRADLE’s ties to Roxxon, prompting Senator Patrick to sever the facility’s alliance with the powerful corporation—much to Roxxon’s displeasure. Meanwhile, Sam and Miles slip undercover as Roxxon interns, setting the stage for what’s next. Written by Eve L. Ewing and illustrated by Bob Quinn, with colors by Federico Blee and letters by VC's Clayton Cowles, the issue’s cover by Toni Infante captures the tension and urgency of the moment.
