Champions: Because The World Still Needs Heroes TPB - Written by Mark Waid. Art by Humberto Ramos. Cover by Humberto Ramos.

Because the world still needs heroes, they are...the Champions!

In the wake of the second superhuman Civil War, the three youngest Avengers - Ms. Marvel, Nova and Spider-Man - quit the team and strike out on their own!

With Viv Vision and the Totally Awesome Hulk by their side, these young heroes are determined to change the world their own way - and they're only the beginning!

Their ideas quickly become their ideals, and soon the time-traveling young Cyclops joins their movement - but not all of his new teammates are glad to see him!

Hopefully the Champions can sort out their differences in time to face down their new rivals, the Freelancers, and help overthrow Hydra's Secret Empire!

Background on Nova 619

Missing your fix of Rich Rider/Nova action? Then here's a solution - welcome to UNIVERSE 619!

Nova 619 - which celebrates its 5th year online in 2015 - is a digital comic heralded into shape by Head writer/Editor Darren Blackburn (UK) and ably supported by a cadre of Nova Cadets from all over the Earth; most of whom hang out at the Nova Prime group at Deviant Art!

Set in the post-war cosmic landscape of the Verges in the Andromeda Galaxy after Annihilation, Nova619 charts a different road for Richard Rider, the last Nova Centurion, taking dangling concepts from Annihilation weaving them into a new path for the Human Rocket to travel down.

As the leader of the United Defence Initiative (UDI) aboard the UDI Adora, Rich, along with Peter Quill, Kika, Swad Beta and many new original characters created for the series battle and deal with all kinds of situations - from the powerful clandestine group called the Veil Kartel, to the deadly unfolding plans of old nemesis Sun Prime and the Rubicon!

Over the last few years, 24 regular online episodes have been produced - along with a few one-off seasonal specials. You can catch up on the Nova619 saga by downloading PDF episodes here at NPP for FREE; just click the image! You can also read more about the concepts of the 619 Universe, timelines and profiles on main characters in the new NOVA619 UDI GUIDE!

Look out for more new NOVA 619 episodes soon including new back-up prose stories featuring the cosmic sorcerer, The Wonder Worlock, by Byron Brewer!
