New Avengers #8 is the final Prelude to Infinity with a cliffhanger that warps right into next month’s big event! But before I get ahead of myself here’s why this book rocks.

 

Inhumans – I love ’em. There’s an Inhumanity event coming and brand new series by Matt Fraction in 2014 but the Inhumans are front and center in the coming war with Thanos.

 

The silent Black Bolt finally gets to speak and the revelation with his beloved queen ends with the noise of a painful slap as the King confesses to Medusa. Mike Deodato and Frank Martin’s art on these scenes are spectacular and poignant. Continue reading Avengers at War

INFINITY arrives in August with the Avengers in space facing the threat from The Builders and Thanos launching a sneak attack on Earth. New heroes will rise to protect the planet. Matt Kindt revealed the call to arms in his tie-in series: Infinity: The Hunt with artist Steven Sanders on Marvel.com.

 

Hank Pym, She-Hulk and Wolverine are the leads in a “contest of champions” style call for up and coming heroes.

 

“Well, the contest isn’t going to get to take place. It gets pre-empted by Thanos; so in true villain form he ruins everything, including my new contest of champions! But it happens in such a way that we’ll get introduced to a few brand new schools that are teaching “weirdly talented” students,” said Kindt. Continue reading INFINITY: THE HUNT Preview

A comic book summer blockbuster is on the way. This big-screen epic is actual a big-page exploding at your local comic book shop! Marvel shared a new trailer for INFINITY!

The six-part series by Jonathan Hickman, Jim Cheung, Jerome Opena and Dustin Weaver begins in August. Here’s how Marvel describes the story:

“Earth has been marked as an “Avengers World”, protected by Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and more from the deadliest threats facing humanity. A powerful and destructive race is on a collision course with Earth and the only thing in their path is the Avengers! But even Earth’s Mightiest Heroes realize the one hope of defeating this dire threat is to unite every great hero across the cosmos…because only with a united Avengers Universe is there any chance of survival!

With our heroes at the other end of the universe, who is left to protect Earth? Enter Thanos, the galaxy’s most ruthless threat and an unparalleled force of brutality who brings order to the chaos of life through murder. The greatest threat to the Mad Titan’s work—and perhaps the universe’s greatest hope—is something he created leaving no world safe. Earth’s last hope may lie in the hands of a man who can level cities with a single whisper – Black Bolt, king of the Inhumans. But can the fearsome leader of a race hated and feared by his world, lead his people against Thanos? If they fall, so does the Earth—and the entire universe with it.”
