Thanks, but I hate this. These issues contain great messages and characters, however the way their interactions are being written is insufferable.

Poor Amadeus has definitely gotten the worst of the bad characterization. All his obnoxious qualities were pumped up to an eleven while his better ones, including strategic and emotional intelligence, have gone largely ignored so he can fit the unneeded trope of the guy who starts unnecessary trouble.

I haven't read as many comics centering on the other heroes, but I did notice that even though Miles isn't typically a quiet person he barely seemed to say anything throughout this entire volume. It definitely felt like he was being sidelined, including during an issue that focused on racism.

Going back to my dislike with the characters as a group, while it's natural to have tension between teammates who aren't yet close and have differing views and goals, the amount of pettiness is really off the charts.

Yes, teenagers can be melodramatic, I unfortunately understand that from experience, but with these characters who have already shown selfless and insightful qualities it's ridiculous how argumentive they're being written.

The Champions are being advertised as the team meant to heal a world that grown-ups have messed up, but even though they've been helpful in general with the amount of aggression they currently hold towards each other they aren't behaving much better than the adults who seem to consistently get into fights with allies.

Hopefully their dynamic and maturity improves, but right now these comics are a let-down.
