Marvel Comics has released a new cover for New Champions, which will be released by Artgerm on January 8th. The new series, currently in progress, is written by Stephen Fox and illustrated by Ivan Fiorelli, and features a new young hero sidekick.
“The moment I saw the new champion variations, my mind started dreaming up the origins, powers, and possible codenames of these imaginary companions,” Fox explained. “Reverse-engineering the cast from the cover was unlike any other creative process I’ve been involved in, and working with Ivan to debut a whole new class of Marvel heroes (and a few villains!) in NEW CHAMPIONS. Fiorelli makes each of these new additions feel as if they were part of the fabric of the universe. ”
