Marvel Comics has revealed a new cover for New Champions, set to release January 8th, by Artgerm. The new ongoing series is written by Steven Foxe and illustrated by Ivan Fiorelli, featuring brand new young hero sidekicks.
“As soon as I saw the New Champions variants, my mind started racing dreaming up possible origins and powers and codenames for these imagined sidekicks,” Foxe explained. “Reverse-engineering the cast from the covers was unlike any other creative process I’ve ever been involved in, and I’m beyond stoked to debut a whole new class of Marvel heroes (and a few villains!) in NEW CHAMPIONS alongside Ivan Fiorelli, who makes each and every one of these new additions feel like they’ve been part of the fabric of the universe all along.”

New York, NY— November 7, 2024 — This January, a new super hero team sets out to change the world in NEW CHAMPIONS! Written by Steve Foxe (Spider-Woman, Timeslide) and drawn by artist Ivan Fiorelli (Daredevil: Woman Without Fear, Timeslide), the new ongoing series will assemble the Marvel Universe’s hottest new young heroes, including many of the characters introduced in last year’s New Champions variant cover series. Among the group is the Scarlet Witch’s mysterious new apprentice, Amaranth, who fans can see now on a spellbinding NEW CHAMPIONS #1 variant cover by best-selling cover artist Stanley “Artgerm” Lau.
NEW CHAMPIONS begins with Liberty, Hellrune, Moon Squire, and Cadet Marvel, but will expand quickly over the first arc of the series as more New Champions, including Amaranth, answer the call! But not all are destined to be heroes and some have dark connections to established Marvel lore that could spell disaster for the fledging team before they can get off the ground. Each New Champion has a story to tell, and together, they have a world to change! Mystery, action, and drama awaits as Marvel Comics’ next beloved teen super hero team assembles!
Before the launch of NEW CHAMPIONS, readers will meet Amaranth in next week’s SCARLET WITCH #6 by Steve Orlando and Lorenzo Tammetta. At Agatha Harkness’ request, Amaranth is placed under the tutelage of Wanda. Can this budding sorceress tap into her mystical potential in time to aid the New Champions against their first threat? Or will her training be cut short when her secret origin is revealed?
