I totally agree with you. I think Sam has always had potential as a character but he's been poorly served up to this point. His first series had it's moments, though it's continuity was all over the place. I thought the most recent series was bland and just didn't seem to go anywhere until the last two issues. Either way I'm super excited about the new series. I like what I've heard from the writers and I actually really like the art style. It puts me in mind of a 90s era animated show.

: Hi,
:
: I've never posted here before. I'm a long
: time Rich fan but I like Sam too and I did
: get Champions #1. I can't speak for the
: series in general but it was a very solid
: first issue. The first good issue 1 I've
: read in a while. It gives each character
: (sans Cyclops) an intro, gives them a bad
: guy to fight and some people to save and
: sets out what the book is about all in one
: issue. I find this refreshing as most first
: issues nowadays just serve as a prologue for
: six issue story arc. This is quite old
: school that it's a one and done story that
: sets up the rest of the series to run with
: the concept. At the same time it's very
: zeitgeist-y (if that's a word). So if
: superheroes checking twitter on their
: smartphones makes you facepalm yourself into
: unconciousness (just mild bruising in my
: case) you may want to give it a miss. I
: enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I
: would.

: Just subscribed to the new series digitally.
: Cant wait for Dec 7.

: Also, I grabbed Champions #1 yesterday.
: Havent had a chance to read it yet, but read
: some reviews and it sounds like it could be
: quite good.
:
: Anyone read it yet?
