    This was a wildly ambitious series for only five issues, maybe too ambitious in some places as it had to focus every issue on a specific character balanced with an overarching plot.

    This is the last issue of this particular run of Challnegers. Its a very sharp idea with a lot of passion at its core, but its never really had a great deal of success since its initial late 1950s run with creator Jack Kirby. Cantwell does a good job of presenting the concept of intrepid non-super-powered explorers of the unknown. The focus on a group of people given a new lease on life having survived death remains a very appealing idea which will continue to echo into other series as the team makes supporting crossover appearances elsewhere.
