Look, I'll be real: I just want more Snowguard. Snowguard's amazing and I wish she wasn't on a team that's getting ripped apart by editorial staff and the like.
This story does well with establishing who she is as a character and what her role in the universe is overall, which the series she belongs to just...doesn't do all that well (which is fair, the Champions 2016 series has a lot of beloved characters that all need screen time to deal with various events in their lives and reacting to them and reacting to each others' reactions). But this gives me hope that we'll possibly see Snowguard outside of the Champions 2016 run, in ways that let her stand on her own instead of a team's token magic girl.
