Both of Jonathan Hickman’s Avengers books, “Avengers” itself and “New Avengers” but you knew that, are in the Prelude To Infinity as they lead into the next Marvel event. “Infinity”, from Hickman as well as Jim Cheung and Jerome Opena, looks to be one of the most interesting events Marvel has put out in a while and really looks to be shaking things up in the long run. And, not only that, but Marvel has provided us with a preview of the first issue featuring Jim Cheung’s art and a re-telling of a scene from “New Avengers” #8.
Check it, and, as always, the Marvel Press Release, out down below.
Marvel Press Release
This August, the Marvel Universe prepares for the biggest battle it’s ever faced – but first, Marvel is proud to your new look at Infinity #1! Infinity, the six part blockbuster comic event of the summer, brought to you by the star studded creative team of Jonathan Hickman, Jim Cheung, Jerome Opena & Dustin Weaver, takes fans to every corner of the Marvel Universe, and beyond! Earth has been marked as an “Avengers World”, protected by Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and more from the deadliest threats facing humanity. A powerful and destructive race is on a collision course with Earth and the only thing in their path is the Avengers! But even Earth’s Mightiest Heroes realize the one hope of defeating this dire threat is to unite every great hero across the cosmos…because only with a united Avengers Universe is there any chance of survival!
With our heroes at the other end of the universe, who is left to protect Earth? Enter Thanos, the galaxy’s most ruthless threat and an unparalleled force of brutality who brings order to the chaos of life through murder. The greatest threat to the Mad Titan’s work—and perhaps the universe’s greatest hope—is something he created leaving no world safe. Earth’s last hope may lie in the hands of a man who can level cities with a single whisper – Black Bolt, king of the Inhumans. But can the fearsome leader of a race hated and feared by his world, lead his people against Thanos? If they fall, so does the Earth—and the entire universe with it.
Every issue of Infinity includes a code for a free digital copy of that same comic on the Marvel Comics app for iOS and Android devices. Additionally, each issue of Infinity features special augmented reality content available exclusive through the Marvel AR app – including cover recaps, behind the scenes features and more that add value to your reading experience at no additional cost.
The Biggest Heroes. The Biggest Threats. The Biggest Sacrifices. This is Marvel’s INFINITY.
