New Challengers – DC Comics – 2018 – #1–6

📘 Series Summary

Spinning directly out of the events of the blockbuster event Dark Nights: Metal, the New Challengers revitalizes one of DC’s oldest concepts for the modern age. Part of the "New Age of Heroes" initiative, the series is co-written by the visionary Scott Snyder and Aaron Gillespie. The story follows five "misfit strangers" who have been pulled from the moment of their deaths and granted a second chance at life—but only on "borrowed time." To survive, they must obey the orders of the mysterious Professor and protect reality from the leaks of the Dark Multiverse.

Illustrated by modern masters Andy Kubert and Klaus Janson, the series is a high-octane tribute to the "living on borrowed time" legacy of the original 1950s team. The New Challengers venture into the deepest corners of the DC Universe, from the bottom of the ocean to the prehistoric underworld of Skartaris (home of The Warlord). This 6-issue limited series culminates in a battle against an ancient space god, blending cosmic stakes with the personal desperation of heroes who literally have everything to lose.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

  • A direct Dark Nights: Metal spin-off that explores the consequences of the Dark Multiverse's arrival.
  • Features a script by Scott Snyder, the architect of modern DC cosmic and horror events.
  • A powerhouse art team of Andy Kubert and Klaus Janson, providing cinematic scale and grit to the adventure.
  • Includes a clash of generations (#3) as the New Challengers face off against the original Challengers of the Unknown.
  • Takes readers back to the classic land of Skartaris, featuring a guest appearance by Travis Morgan, the Warlord.
  • A complete 6-issue limited series that successfully bridges Silver Age whimsy with modern high-stakes superheroics.
