About the series
In 1999, Marvel revived the grand tournament concept with Contest of Champions II, a five-issue miniseries written by Chris Claremont and primarily drawn by Oscar Jimenez and Michael Ryan. The story pits a roster of heroes—including Captain America, Iron Man, Shadowcat, and Spider-Woman—against one another in a high-stakes cosmic competition. While it doesn't boast the landmark status of its predecessor, this series is a fun, character-driven throwback to the era's event-comics, showcasing Claremont's knack for ensemble dynamics and Jimenez's dynamic, 1990s-style artwork.
