Avengers Undercover is the next phase of one of the wildest concepts from the Marvel Now initiative. Young heroes were thrown into a Hunger Games style competition on a Murder Island by Arcade. At New York Comic Con, Marvel revealed the survivors will are now infiltrating the Masters of Evil. Can these hardened heroes convince the ultimate collection of villains that they’ve turned bad?
“We knew from the start that the Murder World story would end with issue #18 of ARENA. Editor Bill Rosemann and I started throwing around ideas for a follow-up series around the time we finished our second arc. What we ended up with in UNDERCOVER is a brand new concept with a totally different tone and mission statement,” writer Dennis Hopeless tells Marvel.com.
“This is the spiritual successor to AVENGERS ARENA but it isn’t a sequel or second season. UNDERCOVER is its own story that anyone can hop on and read from issue one.”
Hopeless and artist Kev Walker continue the next chapter of the ARENA survivors in Avengers Undercover in 2014.
