New Challengers

Spinning out of the best-selling Dark Nights: Metal epic comes New Challengers, a group of fearless explorers who will uncover the worst--and weirdest--the DC Universe has to offer.

A new team of misfits are given a second chance at life by the mysterious figure "The Professor"...but only if they're willing to explore the most unknown reaches of the universe. Seeking a set of powerful artifacts, the team must defeat a rival group of explorers to combine them...or the world as we know it could end.

From legendary artist Andy Kubert (Batman: The Dark Knight: Master Race) and writer Scott Snyder (Dark Nights: Metal, Batman), New Challengers emerges as one of the flagship titles of the New Age of Heroes! Collects issues #1-6.
