As a huge fan of Jonathan Hickman’s Avengers run this is exciting news. All the plots within plots, cosmic level events and time jumping all lead to a major moment this fall.
Earth’s Mightiest Heroes have been fighting to protect Earth in Avengers while The Illuminati have committed some less than heroic acts to save the planet in New Avengers. The secrets come out in tie-ins to Original Sin.
Marvel shared a preview of Avengers #35 and New Avengers #24 as the final incursion hits in two double-sized issues in September. All the Avengers learn what the Illuminati has been doing
to prevent the previous incursions and the story jumps 8 months into the future.
“In addition to setting the table for the astonishing climax of Jonathan Hickman’s run, we’ll also be providing a glimpse into the immediate future of our characters and what changes await them over the course of the next eight months of publishing,” Executive Editor Tom Brevoort told Marvel.com. “This isn’t some maybe-future; this is the real deal, what’s awaiting the Marvel Universe in the coming year.”
As you can see Thanos and members of this Black Order from Infinity are back….to settle the score?
Jonathan Hickman’s Avengers end game and big payoff begins this September with artist Jim Cheung on Avengers #35 and Mike Deodato on New Avengers #24 with a cover here by Gabrielle Dell’Otto.
