Hey everyone! Thanks for joining us for the Paragon Comics FanonCon 2019 Panel! Now, I would like to talk to you guys about the upcoming second arc of Contender, known as Arc Two: The Black Death.

At the end of Contender #5, we saw our first look at the villain Black Death when he brutally dispatched Voltage, the main villain of the first arc. Arc Two opens two months after the ending of Arc One, as Ethan continues to keep the people of Capital City safe. High school graduation is right around the corner, and Ethan struggles to balance his life as a normal teenager and as Contender. As Ethan's flaws as a hero become apparent, a rift between Ethan and Jonathan begins to grow, due to the lack of trust between the two.

All this family drama is gonna have to be put on the back burner when Black Death makes himself known to Team Contender, causing Ethan to have to battle against a foe much more powerful than himself. However, Black Death isn't the ONLY villain Ethan will face in this upcoming arc. Joining the fight is Boulder, a man who is turned into a monstrous rock creature by Black Death to serve as an assistant in his takedown of Contender. Ethan will be pushed to his limits in an epic showdown as he must figure out who Black Death is, and why he's after Ethan.

Here are the covers for the next three issues of Contender:

Expect a lot of twists and turns in this story, including an issue devoted almost completely to the origins of All-Star and Maverick, and a huge revelation that will leave Team Contender in shock. I hope you've enjoyed this insight into Contender, and continue to enjoy FanonCon!

Oh, what's that? You want more? Well how about this: What can we expect after Arc Two? I'll tell you: a break, a graduation, a series of tests and trials that will put Ethan to his limits, and a betrayal that will break the team. Thanks for reading Contender, and I hope you'll all enjoy what I have planned. Comment any questions regarding the future of Contender and what I've gone over here, and I'll answer it as best as I can. I figure I've gone on long enough, so I'll hand over control to The Real Sloth once again, to discuss Zenith.
