    They're precocious, idealistic and eager to do good " and even though they've just met, you can tell this is a team that is already inseparable. So do yourself a favor and read Champions " because this is a team you're going to want to stick around with for the long haul. Read Full Review

    Ramos continues to do the Lord's work on art, we're seeing the team work and utilize one another in various elements outside of everyone's comfort zone which isn't easy to do with such powerhouses on a squad like this. Waid and Ramos find a great way to keep our young heroes challenged as well as figuring out solutions to the challenges. Read Full Review

    This issue offers deep insight into many of the Champions, but always in a way that feels natural and organic rather than forced. And Waid always maintains a balance between lighthearted banter and bickering and deeper, darker drama (much of it surrounding Viv's tragic background). Read Full Review

    After reading quite possibly one of the worst Marvel books in my recent memory, (Seriously, avoid U.S. Avengers at all costs) this was a much-needed reminder of what talent can accomplish. I can't wait to see what lies in store for the team next. This one is going on my monthly pull list for sure! Read Full Review

    A lot of great interaction and character moments with some real tension and a nice "working together" ending sequence. It's a good book. Read Full Review

    While it doesn't have the same weight that the previousissue brought, Champions is able to provide some awesome action and teambuilding in this issue and it really is a joy to read. I like seeing how thesecharacters interact with each other and seeing them take on the Atlanteans wasreally awesome. That said, we seem to be getting more of the same from thisbook right now. I'm looking forward to a point when we get something differentfrom this book but I'm still enjoying myself right now. Read Full Review

    Champions #4 dumps the team into the Atlantic Ocean. From there, writer Mark Waid and artist Humberto Ramos have some fun, sharing that fun with the readers. Read Full Review

    AIPT - Russ Dobler

    Jan 04, 2017

    Champions #4 is a much more typical Marvel comic than the previous issue, and suffers because of it. The book's original direction may have been off-putting to some, but it was unique and could have opened new avenues for storytelling. Waid and Ramos may still achieve that, as the next issue's guest star has a built-in backdoor to reality, but the shift in #4 is jarring, and stands as an avoidable stumble in Champions‘ momentum.
