The Avengers go into outer space to protect Earth from the mysterious Builders in Infinity but new heroes will rise to save the world when Thanos launches a sneak attack.
The Agents of SHIELD will join new and out-of-retirement super heroes (like Luke Cage in Mighty Avengers) in the big event. With costumed heroes like Black Widow and Hawkeye on an interstellar mission, other members of Secret Avengers will get the spotlight.
“In Secret Avengers, S.H.I.E.L.D. and company have to step out from the shadows,” guest writer Ed Brisson tells Marvel.com. “It’s a prime opportunity for our core S.H.I.E.L.D. team—Nick Fury, Agent Coulson and Maria Hill—to step up and make sure there’s a home for the Avengers to come back to. They go from covert missions to straight up overt battles with Thanos’ thugs in the streets of Brooklyn.”
“I love the way the Secret Avengers normally operate,” Brisson continues. “But when their own planet is being attacked by hordes of alien invaders it only makes sense that S.H.I.E.L.D. would get out there on the front lines and defend their home. Added to the mix is a new superpower on their team, one who quite literally drops into their laps and helps fill the gap while most of the Secret Avengers are off planet.”
A big question? With the Winter Soldier solo series cancelled, how will Bucky fit into the war against Thanos?
Infinity #1 arrives August 14th.
