20 years after their last solo series, the Challengers of the Unknown are back – and they’re bringing Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman with them

One of DC’s most storied teams will return this December – and they’re bringing some famous friends along with them too…

Challengers of the Unknown is a new five-issue series from Plastic Man No More! writer Christopher Cantwell and Green Arrow artist Sean Izaakse. It sees the return of adventurers and “super-scientists” Ace Morgan, June Robbins, Prof Haley, Red Ryan, and Rocky Davis, who are now working alongside the restored Justice League.

According to DC’s official synopsis, Challengers of the Unknown finds the team running “day-to-day operations for the Justice League’s Watchtower base in orbit above Earth, collaborating with Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and the rest of the League to seal the rifts that threaten the galaxy.” It’s not long, however, before a foe from the Challengers’ past emerges. Whoever this mysterious enemy turns out to be has a connection to the Darkseid wave that’s at the heart of the DC All In initiative and will “put not only the Challengers, but all of the DC Universe on borrowed time.”
