Marvel To Adapt THE AVENGERS into A Two-Part Comic Book This December
Marvel's The Avengers is the biggest superhero movie of all-time with a worldwide box office haul of over $1.5 billion. Ahead of the release of Avengers: Age of Ultron next year, this December will see a comic book adaptation of the first movie and you can get all the details right here!
Do we really need a comic book adaptation of The Avengers? Marvel clearly seem to think so as they've enlisted Will Corona Pilgrim (Creative Research Manager for Marvel Studios and scribe of a number of previous Marvel Cinematic Universe tie-ins) to pen this two-parter. He'll be joined by artist Joe Bennett (Deathstroke) and the cover and solicitation text can be found below. Does this pique your interest?
