About this Collection

This collection brings together the four-issue miniseries from DC's New Age of Heroes imprint, featuring a revamped team of Challengers of the Unknown. Written by Scott Snyder and Andy Kubert, the story introduces a new generation of adventurers who are recruited to explore strange and dangerous phenomena. The volume includes the complete run of the 2018 series, which reimagines the classic concept for a modern audience.

In "New Challengers, Part One," four strangers are abruptly whisked to the mysterious Challenger Mountain, where they're recruited for a mission that defies explanation. With tension already rising, one of their number is swiftly replaced after breaking orders—leaving the remaining trio to grapple with the unknown, all drawn together by a force they don’t understand. Written by Scott Snyder and Aaron Gillespie, with dynamic art by Andy Kubert and inks by Klaus Janson, this issue sets a gripping tone with its stark visuals and urgent mystery. The cover, also by Andy Kubert, captures the stark isolation of the mountain and the unease of its new arrivals.
