Marvel shared stunning covers from upcoming Avengers issues as Earth’s Mightiest Heroes move from the big Infinity event and beyond. Avengers #24.Now is the launch of the All-New Marvel Now campaign.
When Jonathan Hickman took over the Avengers, Captain America and Iron Man made the team bigger and declared Earth to be an Avengers World. Threats from deep space have forced Earth’s Mightiest Heroes to blast into space, form alien alliances, fight on multiple fronts and become the Universe’s Only Hope.
Executive Editor Tom Brevoort tells Marvel.com the team only gets bigger from here.
“Well, I hardly want to say too much about where INFINITY ends while we’re only two issues into it. But in the aftermath, once again the Avengers are going to have to find a way to get bigger. And #24.NOW is where that new expansion and metamorphosis begins. The operating sphere of the Avengers is only going to continue to grow in size and scale.
In the first year Hickman used the ultimate cosmic villain and a powerful new race against the heroes. As the second year rolls ahead how will they top Thanos and The Builders?
“Oh boy, you have no idea. By this time next year, INFINITY is going to look like a minor skirmish. Everything continues to get bigger and bigger and bigger until there’s virtually no way in which it can become any larger. It’s a massive story that Jonathan has laid out, one that will have a measured and fundamental impact on the Marvel Universe as a whole—and even beyond!”
Avengers #19 – an Infinity tie-in is out this week.
After recruiting a new Captain Universe, Smasher from the Shi’ar Imperial Guard, New Mutants Cannonball and Sunspot and Shang-Chi – who will Hickman add to the already huge roster? Stay tuned.
