UPDATED

Now with this cover to Inhumanity #1 featuring Karnak kicking into action courtesy Marvel. Could this be a teaser that he’s the only survivor of the Royal Family?

 

Paranoia infects the Marvel Universe as seen by a new round of teasers for a big event coming in September. After the “Is He?” teaser my speculation hinted at the death or return of a major character or a something connected to the upcoming Inhumanity event.

 

With this latest round of teasers we now know it’s the Inhumans! In the aftermath of Infinity and Black Bolt’s conflict with Thanos – it’s possible the Terrigen Mist (which give young Inhumans their powers) will spread to the Earth’s surface…and the human population.

The Asgardian Avenger takes on Malekith the Accursed in Thor: The Dark World this November.

 

Chris Hemsworth reprises his role as the God of Thunder and Tom Hiddleston is back as Loki. Christopher Eccleston (28 Days Later, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Doctor Who) plays Malekith, leader of the Dark Elves. We’ve seen very little of the classic Thor villains in the trailer.

Here’s a first look at Dustin Weaver’s art for Infinity #2 from Marvel. Writer Jonathan Hickman is joined by Jim Cheung, Weaver and Avengers World artist Jerome Opena on the epic clash between Earth’s Mightiest Heroes vs. Thanos and the mysterious Builders.

 

I’m a huge fan of Hickman and Weaver’s SHIELD series so it’s a thrill to see them work together again. The Hickman/Weaver SHIELD series is not about Nick Fury and super spies but rather Leonardo Da Vinci, Galileo, Howard Stark and other super brains in a history twisting epic.

Cable’s X-Force (Colossus, Domino, Boom Boom, Forge, Dr. Nemesis) and the Uncanny Avengers been circling each other like boxers in a ring but the final showdown is coming in Cable and X-Force #13. Marvel shared a first look inside the issue.

 

Writer Dennis Hopeless says don’t count Cable’s team out just because they up against some of the Avengers and X-Men’s heaviest hitters:

 

“There’s no denying that the Avengers are the safe bet here but it does say X-Force on the cover,” he notes. “Colossus is no slouch in a brawl, Domino and Boom Boom are both pretty scrappy and the X-Force science team of Dr. Nemesis and Forge always [has] a few tricks up their sleeves. We’ll see what they come up with,” Hopeless tells Marvel.com. Continue reading X-FORCE vs. AVENGERS Final Showdown?

INFINITY is here!

 

Thanos wants something hidden on Earth. The Builders want to destroy and remake Earth. The Avengers face an impossible war in space and on the homeworld. I love the big space operas but they don’t always work so I wanted to share part of this story on how Jonathan Hickman’s series will compare.

 

Infinity is the latest in long line of Marvel sci-fi space epics like the Kree-Skrull War, Operation Galactic Storm, The Infinity Gauntlet and more. Executive Editor Tom Brevoort tells Marvel.com how this new limited series compares to previous space sagas:

INFINITY week is finally here!

 

When Jonathan Hickman took over Avengers he assembled a bigger roster of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes!  It may not be enough!

 

It’s a war on two fronts when alien invaders set a collision course for Earth and Thanos launches a sneak attack on the planet, too.

 

Infinity#1  by Hickman and artist Jim Cheung arrives this week. Earth’s heroes face a double threat from The Builders and Thanos in this six-part epic.

 

“The universe’s greatest serial killer is cut loose to do bad things to our most precious world,” Continue reading INFINITY WEEK IS HERE
