    On Comics Ground - Ian Cameron Aug 8, 2019

    As we near the end of this volume of Champions, this issue provides some fun, vibrant action, some advancement for Sam, and some wonderful teen-superhero banter! I just wish the creative team had a couple more issues to work with, so the inevitable close doesn't feel so rushed. Read Full Review

    Beyond The Panel - Jideobi Odunze Aug 7, 2019

    Champions #8 brings the return of Sam Alexander and Nova to a close. Considering how the next two issues look based on the covers, we all pretty much knew that this was going to be the return of Nova. However, the devil is in the details and fortunately that did not betray us in this issue. It was fun, chaotic, and enlightening for the direction that this team is now taking. Read Full Review

    Together Zub and Cummings elevate what could have been a fairly pedestrian fight and, through careful plotting, attention to detail and deft characterization, make it into something genuinely exhilarating. Sam Alexander gets some hard-earned character development, and the final page alone provides a compelling reason to pick up the next issue. In short, this issue is well worth your time.

    Sam Alexander has never been better, which helps a lot in the absence of Kamala and Miles. Read Full Review

    Black Nerd Problems - Chris Aiken Aug 8, 2019

    While the current heroes of the Champions might not acknowledge it too much, the absence of the core members is felt. One question that concerns me is how Sam will react once he gets caught up to speed on everything that has happened. Next issue looks like it might be a good test for the remaining heroes on the team. Read Full Review
