Marvel rings in the New Year with an army of monsters on the rampage.

The Avengers, X-Men, Champions, Inhumans and Guardians of the Galaxy will have to unite against a monstrous common threat in a five part event.

Monsters come crashing to Earth in the aftermath of Civil War II. Is this what unites the divided heroes?

Writer Cullen Bunn, Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso and Senior Editor Mark Paniccia revealed new information via a new liveblog on the heroes and monsters and the epic battle erupting in January.

Bunn said “the cause of the monster attacks, which are relentless, is something the heroes will have to figure out very very quickly. They can’t just fight their way out of this, they need to find the source and cut it off to save the world.”

Monster Hunter Elsa Bloodstone, Riri Williams/Ironheart, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur and “Captain America plays a big role” in the battle plus the mystery boy seen on the issue three cover.

An all-star art team joins Bunn for the event including Art Adams, Steve McNiven, Greg Land and Salvador Larroca.

Some of the monsters revealed today are called Slizzik, Monstrum, Scragg, Fireclaw.
