New Challengers continues to be an unpredictable ride and with yet another unexpected cliffhanger the twists don't look like they're going to stop anytime soon. Read Full Review

New Challengers has a lot of interesting aspects to it with what it's doing but it pretty much lost me with this installment. There's just something that doesn't feel cohesive here in a way for it to make sense, which makes me feel pretty dense and that basically kills my enjoyment of it. As much of a fan as the original Challengers I am, and delighted to see them here, the story across the first three issues simply comes across as far too haphazard and busy. I imagine it all makes sense to the creative in how it's unfolding but from out here I'm left with a disconnect on what I should be investing in, characters to like, and a situation that I can latch onto well enough.

New Challengers #3 continues to build my curiosity about the mystery at the heart of the story. Mix that with good characters and solid artwork, and you have a book worth a recommendation. Check it out. Read Full Review

Overall, this remains one of the stronger books in the line. Iit's a wild, twisty " maybe a bit too twisty " callback to a bygone era. Read Full Review

The artwork is amazing from Kubert and Marion. I love the details in pretty much every panel and there are some great detailed panels when the team arrives in a savage land populated by dinosaurs. The features in those pages are amazing and a testament to great visual storytelling. Read Full Review

Its not the best chapter in this New Heroes title. I like the revelation about the new Prof and his connection to the Dark Multiverse, but everyone seems to accept it really quickly. The same goes for the explanation about the original challengers staying behind. No one seems to care, and it doesnt seem like a big deal when they die at the end of the issue. I understand the need to lead the story into the next issue, but without the tension to compel the reader to keep reading it doesnt make them want to buy it, and they should feel that want.

Having no history with previous teams of the Challengers of the Unknown is giving me a  hard time really getting invested into this series full steam ahead.  My favorite parts so far, are again this issue, the origins and learning about the New Challengers prior to coming into the crazy world they've been drafted into. The rest is kind of flying over my head and possibly rushed along because the series has a limited life span.  If you have a connection to the teams of the past I'd say give it a shot otherwise your interests probably lie elsewhere.

The potential for this book is in question because of the other New Age of Heroes stories being told in The Terrifics, Sideways, The Unexpected, and Immortal Men. Because of their particular power sets and storytelling everything that can be told in this series can also be told in those books, unless a clear path is made for each book or possibly a crossover event. It is hard to see where DC is wanting to take these stories, or if they are simply using these books to fill in the void in their weekly lineup of books. Read Full Review

At this point it is valid to ask why is this story being told and who is it for, because the answers are entirely unclear. Read Full Review

I find it less and less clear. This one seems to spend a lot of time in talking, with many question not answered.

Cover - In link and nice. 2/2
Writing - This was very dusk. Why the "original" (but not first) challenger seems to know there time running out suddenly ? Why the professor leaves them & trigger the defense mechanism ? 1.5/2
Arts - I prefer Kubert to Marion. 2/3
Feeling - I will go through it, but I'm happy this is a short story. I would have not follow it more if that will be a ongoing. 1/2
