The Star. The Icon. The Witch. The Construct. The God. The Engineer. The King.

This May, writer Jed MacKay and artist C.F. Villa will take the reins of Earth's Mightiest Heroes in a new run of Avengers, with the comic book launching just in time for the team's milestone 60th anniversary.

Following Jason Aaron's monumental work on the title, we'll be introduced to an all-new Avengers lineup led by Captain Marvel that includes Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Black Panther, Scarlet Witch, and Vision (so, a very MCU-friendly roster of superheroes). 

This team will assemble when they're gifted with knowledge of "The Tribulation Events," a series of grand-scale disasters that will spark upheaval throughout the known universe. Amazing Spider-Man artist Stuart Immonen will make a celebrated return to Marvel Comics for the title, providing the ongoing series with breathtaking new covers.

We got our first glimpse at MacKay's Avengers plan in last month's year-ending one-shot, Timeless. There, readers followed Kang in his hunt for the unobtainable "Missing Moment," an ambitious quest that put him in direct conflict with the Twilight Court, a group of strange superheroes led by the mysterious Myrddin.

Now, a dangerous game is afoot and the prize is greater than anything imaginable...enter The Avengers! Will they be able to triumph in the face of the Tribulation Events and learn the truth behind these earth-shattering threats? Or will they be reduced to mere pawns in an extraordinary scheme beyond their comprehension?

The world is ever in peril, and a new team of Avengers mobilizes to meet any dangers that dare threaten the planet. But when Terminus attacks, a new and insidious danger rears its head: one that the Avengers know all too well, and one that comes to them in the most dangerous of guises: that of a friend.

"I'm extremely excited to be launching the latest chapter of Avengers with my old Black Cat teammate C.F. Villa!" MacKay says. "I grew up on the Avengers, weaving in and out of their 60s and 70s exploits as a kid, and having the opportunity to plot the course of Earth's Mightiest Heroes is a rush, especially coming from the street-level and/or weirdo niche I've been working in over the last couple of years."

"This is big, loud Avengers stuff - nothing in this story should ever feel small or inconsequential, and our lineup reflects that. Heavy hitters and iconic Avengers are to the fore - The Tribulation Events are coming, and only the Avengers can take them on."

Check out the cover for issue #1 below, and stay tuned for more details on Avengers ahead of its launch on May 17.

It's a pretty solid roster. Feels like it's missing She-Hulk, though. She would be perfect for this team.

@comicfan100 - meh, they have power houses. They need diversity, and I don't mean politically correctly. I mean skills. People who can do different jobs, not just the most powerful beings.

@TheVandalore - Iron Man and Black Panther bring the brains. Thor, Captain Marvel and Vision bring the brawn. Scarlet Witch is the mystic. Captain America the leader and moral center. It's pretty well-rounded. I guess they could use a street level hero to keep the team grounded

It’s a nice roster, can’t lie.

This is a good team!!

Ya but cap is gone, well superhero cap I mean, and MCU scarlet Witch was butchered and packaged into a crazy mom archetype. So....

@McMurdo - It was a spooky book done turned her evil. Did u watch the movie

@UncleHarm1 - she wasn't possessed bub there's literal dialogue in the film confirming she had agency. Did you watch the movie?

Certainly a good lineup, but no Hulk or Captain America blows. I understand what has happened with all the characters in the comics, but it blows anyway.

@DocSpock - No Steve. But Captain America is there
DocSpock
DocSpock - 1/21/2023, 12:47 PM
@comicfan100 -

Big oops. I meant Steve Rogers there.

@Counterpoint - Steve Rogers is the original Captain America but this Sam Wilson is the new Captain America. And he's on the team.
Variant
Variant - 2/1/2023, 3:31 PM
@Counterpoint - You can lie to yourself all you want. Doesn't change reality.
Variant
Variant - 2/1/2023, 5:26 PM
@Counterpoint - You say nobody but you mean you. And you don't speak for everyone. There are plenty of people out there that appreciate this version. Yes, Steve is the main Cap. But he's also Nomad. And when he can't be Cap others have stepped up to take his place as Cap. That's the reality. Again, you can lie to yourself all you want. But Sam Wilson is a version of Captain America. The world doesn't revolve around what YOU like and don't like. Sorry for ya.

@Counterpoint - Let's just count the terms used that indicate you're a complete dumbass.

1. Woke
2. Shitlib
3. Signally writers

These are all words used by those who are ignorant and uneducated.

And PS - there's a movie coming out next year called Captain America: New World Order. Guess who the main protagonist is? Sam Wilson as Captain America.

Cry about it, softy.
Variant
Variant - 2/22/2023, 5:06 PM
@Counterpoint - Anti-white?! Lmao! Dude could you expose your insecurities more? Just because something black comes along doesn't mean they're anti-white. What an absolute dumbass take.

You STILL have majority of white characters, little buddy. It'll be okay.
Variant
Variant - 2/22/2023, 7:52 PM
@Counterpoint - That's not a race swap. Nor is it anti-white.

It's a passing of the mantle. It's a different era for a different character. Is it my favorite thing in the world? Mo. Do I prefer Steve Rogers over Sam Wilson? Yes. But I also understand that nothing lasts forever and things eb and flow. Change ia always happening. It's futile to challenge that. So if you're mad at this you'll just be mad forever. Be thankful we got a Chris Evans to portray Cap for as long as he did in the first place.

@Counterpoint - By proxy? Lol. Now you're just making shit up to talk shit. "For something worse" is also just your opinion. It doesn't bother most other people. So sit down.
Variant
Variant - 2/26/2023, 12:04 PM
@Counterpoint - No it doesn't. PROVE that it bothers most people. You can't. But I wouldn't worry about it too much. Your racist ass isn't going to be here much longer. It's going to eat you up knowing you can't spew your bigoted hatred any more isn't it?...
Variant
Variant - 2/26/2023, 12:14 PM
@Counterpoint - Pick up the cause? And what cause is that? Racism and bigotry?

Nah. You won't be around. And even if you create another alt, you'll just continue to be silenced. I'd get used to it if I were you.
Variant
Variant - 2/26/2023, 12:23 PM
@Counterpoint - Hatred of one's people?! LMAO. You think because another iteration of Cap is black people hate white people??

I can't even begin to tell you how pathetic that is. And you are certainly not in the majority with that sentiment.
Variant
Variant - 2/26/2023, 1:06 PM
@Counterpoint - There is no anti-white agenda. Pro-other-cultures does not equate to anti-anything. You're just a bigot and bigots feel threatened by everything non-white.
Variant
Variant - 2/26/2023, 1:56 PM
@Counterpoint - It doesn't. This is just the example we're talking about. And as far as the story goes, Steve Rogers is done fighting. Someone else picked up the shield (mantle). Nothing about this should be bothersome for some reason you're very fragile and feel threatened by it.

PS - Captain America isn't white culture. It's comic book culture. And Marvel comics has ALWAYS stood for equality and diversity.
Variant
Variant - 2/26/2023, 5:08 PM
@Counterpoint - Dude. Black people comprise 13% of the United States. If you're threatened by what black culture does, you're a scared little boy that needs to grow up and toughen up. Otherwise, you're just gonna be embittered and sad for the rest of your life.
Variant
Variant - 2/27/2023, 4:59 PM
@Counterpoint - That may be YOUR perspective but that's not at all true. White people are still represented as the majority. You just let confirmation bias lead you into delusion. But based on the limited intelligence you've displayed so far, I'm not surprised you're so easily deluded.
Variant
Variant - 2/27/2023, 5:19 PM
@Counterpoint - What is LGBTQP? And you're trying to make a claim solely based on what YOU see. Which is precisely what confirmation bias is. You have NO real data.

Also, there is no anti-white agenda...do you just really dislike black people or something?

Not a very good lineup

OmegaDaGrodd - 1/21/2023, 12:37 PM
Swap Iron Man out for She Hulk or Rhodey and you have a pretty good movie lineup there. Obviously I'd want Yelena and Shang Chi but they are gonna have time to have their adventures
Toonstrack

@OmegaDaGrodd - yea they needed a shakeup addition.

I love to see Scarlet Witch on the team, but I am not a fan of Falcon Cap.
