Champions #5-6: War Of The Realms

WAR OF THE REALMS



Written by Jim Zub
Penciled by Juanan Ramirez
Published April-June 2019




   With the War of the Realms raging, half of the new Champions battle trolls in New York when Ms Marvel meets up with an old friend. Cyclops bails on the X-Men to fall in with the team he ran with as a kid. Together he inspires his old allies and they bring a hell of a fight to the frost giants. He leaves them with a renewed sense of vigor, though Ms Marvel is clearly struggling.


"...X-Me... uh, Champions..? You know... whatever.."


   Next up, they continue waging war on the elves in Brazil. It comes to a head when the Disir warriors make a final stand, and their leader Brun reveals her previous death in the Middle East. With her distracted, Disir stabs Power Man but the kinetic energy allows him to pretty much destroy the entire lot. With the battle over, Ms Marvel reveals to the team she can no longer lead them, but what does that mean for the rest of the Champions? With only 4 issues left, we'll know soon enough.


Quitter.


   So I'm pretty tired of this series, and the fact it was canceled probably means Marvel is pretty tired of it as well. They did the best they could with what they have, but Jim Zub is kind of above this. I'm looking forward so see what they do with Nova coming up, as it's a pretty good way to end this saga. As far as the War of the Filler Of The Realms, I give the Champions turn at it a 7/10.
