A high two stars. I enjoyed Civil War and found the idea of a divided superhero population fighting for different sides of a Superhuman Registration Act intriguing, especially as it contrasted the character of each hero and why they might pick the side they did. Then came Civil War II, which I really didn't care for as characters seemed quite out of character and so eager for a superhuman throw down that they didn't listen to their colleagues at all. This volume...just felt like a rushed and wat...

Since the Champions weren't around when Civil War occured the first (and second) times, it's time they get their own version of the Registration Act. When Ms. Marvel's high school gets attacked by a dragon, the devastation left behind prompts the outlawing of all teenage superheroes. But with the law being backed by the dubious Roxxon Corporation, is there more to the story than meets the eye?Outlawed as a status quo was meant to likely last longer than it did here, and with further reaching ten...

(I completely did not read this in one day and forgot to mark it as 'read' for two whole days, nope).

The book treated the debate around Kamala's law as more morally grey than I expected, but not as much as I hoped.

This was a fun read. I love the Champions and was really looking forward to this set to finally get to read it.Still, there were a couple of things that did bug me a bit. First, the whole school thing was too much the same that happened to the New Warriors, that got started the entire Civil War storyline. With CW being such a relevant story for the Marvel Universe, they could have created something a little different to get things rolling.Second, was I the only one who got bothered by the whole

Awful, unreadable, civil-war nonsense.

More like 2.5 stars.

Civil War lite. It was so rushed. Hardly any older heroes were involved and anyone on Captain America's side of Civil War should have been involved. All of a sudden they don't care because the law only applies to those under 25? It makes no sense and makes this feel like it's not part of the Marvel universe. I'm sure part of this was the due to the downsizing of this event due to the pandemic. Marvel should have just scrapped the event completely instead of what we got. The least they could have...

Is this just Civil War Lite? Yes, but also no, but mostly yes. See, it really is just another crack at the Super Hero Registration Act, this time limited to people under the age of 21. Which actually should do a lot to change the tone of the debate. There definitely is a big difference between outlawing all supers, like in Civil War, and not letting teenagers fight Galactus, like here. If only more time were spent on those actual issues! Instead, it is full on reeducation camps for captured mino...

First off, let me say that the artwork is this one is great, particularly the work by Bob Quin. It's a visual treat and the storytelling is very clear.Story-wise, well, you can't avoid the fact that the basic plot of Outlawed is a bit of a rehash of Civil War. The actual character interplay and some of the ramifications are quite different, though, to be fair.My main issue with the writing was the dialogue. I'm sure Eve L. Ewing is a great public speaker because she seems to write almost entirel...

Enjoyable.

People call this a civil war lite. I honestly think it's just boring. So basically after an event where people nearly died and a young hero is hurt, they put in a new law to outlaw kids from saving people. Never stopped kids before protecting people but now it is a issue somehow. Anyhow, we have all the kids basically on the run trying to figure out what to do from here. There's some good character moments. Ewing writes Riri really well, and Miles pretty solid, but everyone else I feel like I do...

*Lots of reading + no time review = Knee-jerk reactions!* I actually really enjoyed this story: Some nice real-world themes that managed to show how two differing sides can both have valid points. The only side "demonized" in this was the corporation who only had their own interests at heart. Even the government had good intentions... but, you know... government and good intentions don't always end well. One more note: I particularly enjoyed Miles Morales' voice.

This is ...yet ANOTHER volume 1 collection of Champions. It should be the 8th collection, but the continual stops and starts apparently keep resetting the total #.Also, story wise, this is very similar to the Civil War maxi series that ran throughout Marvel. The story on this is much shorter. It's primarily in this book, but also continued in Ms. Marvel and a few other one shots involving other teen heroes.Minor gripe: I don't know who decided to write Riri as a petulent teen, but it seems odd t...

Fun book, fun characters, but why the hell does this constitute a THIRD Volume 1? The storylines flow relatively cleanly from one creative team to the next, so Marvel either is purposefully obfuscating things or they think lower volume #s sell better. All I know is that there shouldn't be three different #1s when Champions only began in 2016. Honestly, this should be Volume 8 of ongoing Champions, not the third Volume 1 (or sixth #1 by issues and collections).

While trying to protect an eco-activist, the Champions fight against a dragon and half of Ms Marvel’s school is destroyed. In the aftermath, a new law is passed which outlaws teenager vigilantes. Now all the teenage heroes have gone into hiding, have been captured for “re-education” camps, or are on the run. They all must grapple with the moral dilemma of whether they should continue to help people, even if it’s illegal. It’s OK. I read because it tied in with the storyline for Magnificent Ms Ma...

Happy New Year!!!!Let me start off by saying I only have Issue #1 and since Goodreads didn't have it distinguished and they only had this edition on their site for issues 1-5 that's why it had to be chosen.I enjoy author Eve L. Ewing's take when she writes for Marvel. Her Ironheart run is absolutely brilliant and the start of this series (it came out last year and I am just now getting around to reading it LOL!) it's just as superb. Marvel honestly needs to bring her in as the writer for Ironhea...

I wasn't too sure about how I was supposed to expect from this limited event since it felt too much like the Superhero Registration Act all over again, but just targeting underage superheroes. In hindsight, this totally could have been the direction taken back during the first Civil War, but that's all behind us now.So our young heroes cause way more property damage than expected and this results in new legislation banning underage superheroes. But it goes all the way to creating a special organ...

most of my problem with big team books is that there are so many characters, and none of them really get enough time. the only characters i really knew before this were kamala, miles, and riri, but even any of their actual emotional moment are brushed past to make room for the other characters and plot. maybe i would feel differently if this wasn’t my first champions book. or maybe i’m just more of a solo / duo / small team person 🤷🏻‍♀️ (or like medium teams with a long enough series that all th...

A very poignant and relevant storyline about youth and what goes on for our young heroes. After a tragedy at school, which leaves Kamala Khan in the hospital, lawmakers meet and decide to pass "Kamala's Law", which states that superheroes have to be 21 or older to be a superhero, unless they get a mentor who must always be with them and be responsible for them. A task force is formed: CRADLE, or Child Hero Reconnaissance and Disruption Law Enforcement, and they have their eyes set on the Champio...
