While the Avengers are away the villains will play!
In Infinity Earth’s Mightiest Heroes are in space fighting off an alien army while a team of Mighty Avengers has stepped up against an invasion by Thanos.
This week Infinity Heist begins with team of small time super criminals (at least when compared to Thanos!) go for a big score amid the cosmic level chaos.
The universe may be threatened but as writer Frank Tieri explains, that won’t stop this shady cast of characters from taking advantage.
“Spymaster is absolutely the leader of our little crew; he’s our Danny Ocean. He’s our Joe from “Reservoir Dogs.” He’s our Keaton from “The Usual Suspects.” He’s the man with the plan and he’s the one who pulls in these other Iron Man villains in: Blizzard. Whirlwind, Firebrand, Titanium Man, Whiplash and Unicorn,” he told Marvel.com.
This motley crew isn’t going after a bank or museum. The target is very personal:
“Well, when we were coming up with ideas for this heist book, we knew we needed a good “get” to make the story work. And what is the ultimate “get” in the Marvel Universe?
Stark Enterprises.
With Tony preoccupied with everything going on with Thanos, Spymaster figures the time is right to strike. And if you think about it, the armors, the tech, the inventions—you can just imagine what somebody who pulled that job off could get with the right buyer for that stuff. Plenty of islands with umbrella drinks to be had there, that’s for sure.
That said, of course it’s not going to be easy; in addition to everything that’s going on with Thanos and the Inhumans in the background, it’s not like Tony’s just going to leave a key under the doormat. So there’s a lot to deal with getting past Stark’s security—and there’s a lot to deal with everyone getting past killing each other. There will be plenty of friction within our little group. Sides will be chosen and it’ll certainly complicate things, to say the least.”
The four-issue Infinity Heist kicks off Wednesday along with Avengers #20, the next chapter in the Infinity saga.
