Champions #8

Fallout!" is the stark banner greeting readers of this 2017 Marvel series, and Humberto Ramos's cover composition says it all — the Champions stand clustered together in a tense, somber grouping, with Miles Morales's Spider-Man, a young Cyclops, Ms. Marvel, and Amadeus Cho's Hulk at the fore, while larger, looming figures — including what appear to be adult heroes casting long shadows behind them — crowd the background in shades of grey. The contrast between the vibrant, colorful young team and the ominous, muted figures surrounding them creates an atmosphere that feels genuinely weighted. Mark Waid and Ramos's youth-driven series keeps delivering on its tagline — "Because the world still needs heroes!" — and this issue looks ready to put that conviction to the test.
