This second, and final, collection of The Champions finds the bizarre superhero team consisting of Ghost Rider, Black Widow, Hercules, Iceman, and Angel taking on some big time villains in the vein of Magneto and his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and even Doctor Doom. Like the issues in the very first volume, The Champions works surprisingly well thanks to some surprisingly compelling set-ups and stories that usually feature a decent enough pay off to keep coming back. Not to mention the fact that there are contributions from then rising star artist John Byrne, whose considerable talents, even at such an early stage in his career, are of are a definite highlight. In these final issues, The Champions also take on Stilt-Man, MODOK, and Swarm; and there's appearances from Spider-Man and the mutant hunting Sentinels as well. All in all, if you enjoyed the very first volume of The Champions, you'll definitely enjoy what you get here.

At last, we have CHAMPIONS CLASSIC VOLUME 2, the highly anticipated second round of reprints featuring perhaps the oddest team of Marvel heroes ever. Angel, Iceman, Hercules, Black Widow, and Ghost Rider aren't a grouping I'd normally consider worthwhile, but darn if The Champions didn't have some exciting stories during their run. In volume 2, Darkstar and Black Goliath assist the team against bizarre villains such as Stilt-Man and MODOK, cosmic entities such as the Stranger and Kamo Tharn, and Swarm - a guy made of killer bees. You'll also see more popular villains such as Magneto & the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, Doctor Doom, and the Sentinels. Writer Bill Mantlo packs the pages full of action and wonder in the very first several issues of this collection, but the later stories unfortunately slide downhill. I guess once the series was slated for cancellation, Mantlo didn't see the need to worry about any more of the series' signature creativity. As a result, he relies mainly on mind-control stories or other tired gimmicks that pit hero against hero. But overall, the stories are fun. The art from George Tuska and Bob Hall is okay, but you just can't beat the contribution of a young rising star by the name of John Byrne. There's no doubting Byrne's style, even in some of his earliest work. Even though it's only 4 issues worth, plus a additional issue with him finishing breakdowns, I'll take what I can get.
The book collects Champions #12-17, Iron Man Annual #4, Avengers #163, Super-Villain Team Up #14. and Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #17-18... a broad representation of `70s Marvel goodness.
