3.5 Stars. This was an interesting start to the series...
Champions Vol. 1: Change the World begins following the events of Civil War II and Ms. Marvel has officially decided to leave the Avengers feeling as though they don't truly care about the people they're saving. Honestly, the main reason I picked this one up is because I'm a huge fan of Ms. Marvel especially the run done by G. Willow Wilson. I wanted more of her world and while I got a little bit of that, this definitely was focused on the development of a new Marvel team. I loved meeting new to me characters and I was happy to see characters I was familiar with like The Vision. There were even cameos from characters like Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur. I think that my biggest issue with this story is that it didn't necessarily feel cohesive. The volume felt like a series of short stories rather than a developed storyline. I'm thinking that it will improve over the next couple of issues, but I think that it didn't mesh well. I also feel as though it tried too hard to prove that it was aware of current social from across the world. I'm not saying that it was bad to do that; however, it felt as though it was trying too hard and it didn't feel genuine, but forced. I loved the artwork and the variety that we got in each panel. I usually love Mark Waids works so I'll definitely be picking up the second volume.

I stumbled on the series after discovering it featured Viv Vision. After the absolutely amazing and short-lived series the introduced her, I wanted more stories about her. And I am so glad I found this volume.
Champions is a fantastic comic that's not afraid to be progressive or political. It's telling stories very rooted in today's headlines, and it is serving as a call to action to the young people in the same age group as its central heroes.
My only real complaint about the series so far as its episodic nature. I hope that the heroes get to partake in a longer story arc, instead of the "mission of the issue" approach. And I really hope that Champions continues for a very long time.

This was a fun team-up story!! I'm trying to read through all of Ms. Marvel's adventures and this definitely made some of her solo-run issues make more sense!!
•
I really enjoyed Sam Alexander as Nova and Miles Morales as Spiderman so I'll definitely have to go check out their solo-runs!!
•
I'll definitely be checking out the other Champions volumes!!

Quite good. A tad on the nose and forgettable though. (I read it during quarantine and didn't review it right away.)

Not a fan of superheroes comics but was getting into ms marvel so this comics was a great read. Lots of inclusivity and diversity. Lots of relatable humours.
