Champions (Heroic)

    (Heroic, 2007)
™ and © Heroic Publishing, Inc.
Series numbering continues from combined issues of previous Champions titles

Captain Thunder and his son Blue Bolt have made an uneasy alliance with a Russian agent for the Merchants of Menace, Ilyan King. King has offered information on the Merchants in exchange for their help in freeing his imprisoned queen, Sonya. Ilyan claims that Sonya is being held in a secret government prison, but the prison is revealed to be less than a holding facility and more like a laboratory for illegal experiments. This is what Blue Bolt would expect from the Merchants of Menace and the revelation is unsettling.

This title returns as more of a showcase and promotional vehicle for Heroic Publishing’s stable of characters rather than as the adventures of the League of Champions that it evolved into. The Captain Thunder and Blue Bolt story is continued from their own title, (from more than 10 years ago), and a back-up story features a classic Huntsman tale sets up a future Liberty Girl storyline.
