Captain America and Iron Man rallied to create a bigger roster of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and declared Earth as Avengers World in Jonathan Hickman’s first arc. The new and improved team isn’t big enough to handle what’s coming in the six-part event Infinity.
The Avengers will need to become a universal team to face Thanos. Marvel is revealing new details about the event that will bring Black Bolt and the Inhumans into the cosmic clash with the Mad God of Titan (and the villain behind Loki’s invasion in The Avengers movie.)

Marvel is going big for this year’s Free Comic Book Day 2013!
Thanos. Hickman. Cheung.
Thanos is the big purple bad at the end of The Avengers movie.
Jonathan Hickman (Avengers, New Avengers) is the mastermind of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
Jim Cheung (Avengers vs. X-Men, Young Avengers) is the artist (one of my personal favorites) that can fill panels with big screen action.

The secret is out! Jim Lee’s cover to DC Comics The New 52 Free Comic Book Day Edition. The big three: Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman share the cover with what I assume is the mystery woman, Pandora.
Here’s your first look at the until-now top-secret cover by DC Entertainment Co-Publisher Jim Lee. The legendary artist will also be illustrating five pages for the comic book’s interior, including a four-page JUSTICE LEAGUE gatefold to accompany a brand new story by New York Times bestselling writer and DC Entertainment Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns.
Lee also created custom art for the Free Comic Book Day t-shirt, featuring his redesign of the JUSTICE LEAGUE for DC COMICS-THE NEW 52 in an homage to a classic piece by José Luis García-López. Free Comic Book Day is May 5th.
DC Comics gave fans some details of this year’s DC Comics – The New 52 Free Comic Book Day Edition.

Geoff Johns will contribute a brand new story.
Fans can expect previews of “Second Wave” titles, including Batman Incorporated, Dial H for Hero, Earth 2, G.I. Combat, The Ravagers and World’s Finest.
Free Comic Book Day is Saturday, May 5th.
One of my most anticipated books for Free Comic Book Day 2012 is the Star Wars/Serenity flipbook from Dark Horse Comics. The publisher will delight two fan universes with one comic book.
The Star Wars story will star Han Solo and Chewbacca. Serenity will feature Captain Mal Reynolds. New art and an interview with writer Zach Whedon (his brother Joss created the Firefly/Serenity universe) is on today’s Comic Book Resources.
You might think Han and Mal might find a lot on common – if they weren’t competing for the same smuggling job but Whedon doesn’t see Reynolds and Solo getting along.
“I think if they could get past their initial misgivings – Mal with Han’s shifty, smooth-talking nature. Han with Mal’s stoic solider routine – they’d have a lot to talk about. But I think it’s more likely they’d butt heads, possibly literally,” said Whedon.
