Dec 19, 2018Champions continues to impress me more and more with each passing issue. This annual edition, which serves as a bridge between two different arcs, is easily one of the best issues of the entire series. Read Full Review

Dec 19, 2018Champions Annual #1 was a worthwhile experience stepping into the shoes of Marvel's newest young hero. Amka Aliyak is a hero you are either newly getting to know, or getting to know better than you did before. A special supersized issue was the best use of time to flesh out the backstory of a character when the average issue can only offer so much to satisfy. Read Full Review

This issue made me care about Snowguard. She wasn't very interesting before, but now that she's been given a singular focus, she's really started to shine. I was not very excited going into this issue, but before I knew it, it was over.

Amka heads home for her first post-Champions vacation and finds creatures of Inuk myth threatening her family and friends. Things get very "after school special"-y toward the end. But the visuals throughout are very strong, and Amka gets some fascinating (and much more distinctive) characterization and backstory in the first act. Her anxieties and uncertainties ring true in a way that's both specific and sympathetic.

A story on Amka. We sens that Zub want to work her, and he take Nyla Innuksu to help him write on Amka people. It's poetic with a good message but ... But it's not very interesting. Both time the Bad guys isn't a Bad guys and the repetition make it difficult to digest. Cover - I take the variant. Awful she squint. I don't like it. But more in link than the regular. 1/2 Writing - The story is too long and not that interesting 1.5/3 Arts - The art is good, love it even if not always perfect. 2.5/3 Feeling - I think it's a pass. 1/2

This was okay, I liked learning more about Amka, but I feel like a lot was jammed in there and it was maybe a bit much.
