While there are various things you can look forward to from the upcoming “AvX” crossover, but one of the arguably most highly anticipated is Walt Simonson’s stint on “the Avengers” with Brian Michael Bendis. Simonson, an absolute legend in the business, has influenced countless modern writers and artists, and will be Simonson’s first work on the Avengers franchise since the 90’s (although as previously noted when this partnership was announced, Simonson feels like this is the first time he has really gotten to draw the book).
Now we have some pages to look at, and we’re sharing them with you. We think you’re going to like the way it looks. In fact, we guarantee it.
Take a look behind the cut for a four-page unlettered preview.
