Spoilers, Top Story

DC Comics Universe and New Challengers #1 Spoilers follows.

Challengers Of The Unknown For A New Age Of Heroes As Dark Nights Metal Fallout.

The book opens with bandaged man in the past…

…determined to find…

…a mysterious artifact.

We meet Trina Alvarez and we learn about her backstory which includes being in the background of an alien invasion that the Justice League was on the forefront of where…

…she died! Alongside other walking dead Robert Brink, Moses Barber and Krunch, she is recruited to help the mysterious Professor.

These are the modern Challengers of the Unknown in a long history of “Chals” including…

…their most famous incarnation.

Classic Who’s Who for that version of the team here.

Anyhow, looks like the team exists in two places at once living at borrowed time. If they leave, then death catches up with them. Robert Brink decides to test this and…

…dies. He’s immediately replaced by Bethany Hopkins. The team then pivots to their first adventure together with an artifact with similar markings to the one that started the issue in the past.

We also get a look at the all-seeing Professor and his sentient computer…

…who may be tied to the giant husk in the HQ.

Is that Amazo? That costume looks familiar.
