Black Nerd Problems - Chris Aiken
Sep 20, 2018Anyway, the ending of this issue holds some promise. Synder excels at writing high concept books.New Challengers is definitely worth the read if you are just going in for the premise alone.From the looks of it, the team's adventures are only going to get more extravagant as we move forward.

The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally
Sep 19, 2018Gillespie and Snyder do a great job of getting the reader to care about these people while at the same time being concerned where they will fit in regards to the original Challengers. The book asks a lot of questions as it unfolds its mystery and that type of layered storytelling is worth exploring. Read Full Review

Sep 19, 2018New Challengers seems to rush a bit to a conclusion for next issue, but also makes me feel a tad like I missed an issue in between numbers four and five in the process, even though I've read all of the series so far. The focus seems to come back around in the end, and the art continues to be a joy to look at, which has me excited for a thrilling conclusion. Read Full Review

Sep 20, 2018This issue provided more questions than answers. I love a good mystery that I can follow, and I hope the reader is not getting lost. I have faith that the next two issues will help draw clearer lines for the sake of the storytelling.And until then, it's some gorgeous art. Let your eyes drink it in. Read Full Review

Sep 19, 2018Across five issues, New Challengers has never found a driving purpose behind its tale, and this expository installment fails to offer any new reasons to stick around. Read Full Review
