First announced back in January, the new era for Earth's Mightiest Heroes is very nearly upon us! Written by Jed MacKay and drawn by Marvel's Stormbreaker artist C.F. Villa, The Avengers #1 arrives next month, ushering an age ripe with grand-scale adventure and cosmic mystery just in time for the team’s milestone 60th anniversary.

The new run comes complete with a fresh lineup consisting of some of the biggest icons from throughout the Avengers' storied history including Captain Marvel, Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Black Panther, Scarlet Witch, and Vision (so, a very MCU-friendly roster of superheroes). 

Today, you can see the team assemble in a new trailer for The Avengers #1 featuring never-before-seen artwork of this lineup flying into action against Terminus.

Under the leadership of Carol Danvers, they're ready to confront anyone and anything that dare to endanger the planet, but the cosmic significance and insurmountable stakes of their new mission threaten to take a heavy toll on even the mightiest of superheroes.

"Putting [Captain Marvel] in the big seat of the Avengers is a logical progression for the character, to my mind, and applying the challenges of leading a team like the Avengers to a character with the sensibilities of a brash fighter pilot has been a lot of fun," MacKay says, hyping up Carol's new role as team leader.

This run will kick off with a saga that sees the team embrace a new divine purpose after they’re gifted with knowledge of The Tribulation Events, a series of grand-scale disasters that will spark upheaval throughout the known universe.

We got our first glimpse at MacKay's overarching plan in December's year-ending one-shot, Timeless, where readers followed Kang in his hunt for the unobtainable "Missing Moment." Now, a dangerous game is afoot and the prize is greater than anything imaginable.

Will the Avengers be able to triumph in the face of the Tribulation Events and learn the connection behind these earth-shattering threats and Kang’s quest? Or will they be reduced to mere pawns in an extraordinary scheme beyond their comprehension?

The Avengers #1 arrives in comic book stores on May 17.

I have been reading all Marvel & DC comics since 1965-1966. What is your point?

Just make Thor leader of The Avengers.

Origame - 4/14/2023, 9:34 PM
Yup. Can't wait for people to insist this run failing is due to misogyny. It's not like this version of the character fractured the relationships of all the marvel superheroes and hunted a teenager because a future seer exists, despite his predictions being shown to be false.

@Origame - The “everything that doesn’t go my way is because of bigotry” crowd is hilarious. It’s been a while since I’ve read any new Marvel, but I heard about how much of a prick Captain Marvel was during Civil War 2. It’s almost like how I don’t understand how the X-Men forgave Bishop after he burned the whole future down trying to kill Hope. There’s some stuff you can’t be forgiven for.

@Origame - Why would you think this run is going to fail?
Origame
Origame - 4/15/2023, 7:48 AM
@TheUnworthyThor - well, considering the number of people still reading comics, I'd say zero 🤣
TheUnworthyThor
TheUnworthyThor - 4/15/2023, 9:54 AM
@Origame - That didn’t make much sense.
Origame
Origame - 4/15/2023, 10:14 AM
@TheUnworthyThor - ...do you not understand the American comics industry is in shambles?
TheUnworthyThor
TheUnworthyThor - 4/15/2023, 12:47 PM
@Origame - I understand that idiots online like to say BS like that for clicks from the rage community. I also know that last year was the biggest year ever North American comic book revenue and that the industry sees growth every single year and that the financial industry has predicted continued growth year over year for the foreseeable future.

But none of that explains how “…zero” was anything other that a nonsensical answer to “Why would you think this run is going to fail?”.
Origame
Origame - 4/15/2023, 1:03 PM
@TheUnworthyThor - ...what? No. In fact last year comics were in a 13% decline from the previous year.

https://publishingperspectives.com/2023/02/npd-books-comics-and-graphic-novels-slowing-in-the-states/#:~:text=The%20decline%20in%20overall%20juvenile,down%2013%20percent%20against%202022.

Are you also including Manga in that? Because Manga is like the only comics content that's selling now. Hell, demon slayer alone beat the entire American comics industry at one point.
TheUnworthyThor
TheUnworthyThor - 4/15/2023, 1:45 PM
@Origame - You seriously didn’t even read that article you posted. It did not say last year saw a 13% drop from the previous. It said the first six weeks of this year (2023) have seen an overall 13% decline from 2022. The headline for the graph literally reads “The U.S. Trade Comics & Graphic Novel Market Maintained Momentum in 2022”. If you read the article fully it says the declines were in the juvenile comic and graphic novel segment and as sad as that is the CatStronauts the article clearly shows that American adult superhero comics grew once again.
Origame
Origame - 4/15/2023, 1:59 PM
@TheUnworthyThor - well either way maintaining isn't a f@#$ing all time high.

We're at the point where comic sales that would've been canceled are being considered hits. That's not good
TheUnworthyThor
TheUnworthyThor - 4/15/2023, 2:16 PM
@Origame - It literally was an all time high. I didn’t it say it was leaps and bounds better than anything before. It maintained normal solid growth like we saw in the decade prior to the pandemic. That is good. That is the very hallmark of a healthy industry.

And I don’t why people continue to pretend they know how each comic is doing. Sure you can look at the North American distribution of the floppies. But it doesn’t tell us the international sales, or the digital sales, or all the hardcover and trade paperback sales, or how many people are reading each series on the subscription services. Like seriously how many people need to read a series on Marvel Unlimited to continue the series even if there were 0 physical copies sold? I don’t know what it is but that number exists. This constant pretending like it’s still 1995 and the Diamond numbers are all that matter is absurd.
Origame
Origame - 4/15/2023, 4:01 PM
@TheUnworthyThor - dude, this is saying the adult books are growing during the year of 2022. At best it's an improvement over 2021 but that's still not saying the same as all time high.

People are ditching American comics in favor of other comics, namely Japanese Manga. And any site saying the American comics industry is at an all time high are counting Manga.

TheUnworthyThor - 4/15/2023, 5:31 PM
@Origame - Again I’m not sure you are actually reading these articles you are linking to. Nowhere in that article does is say that American comic book sales are shrinking. It says that manga is accounting for larger share of the market which is obviously true but 50% of 2 billion is better that 100% of 1 million so that’s not saying anything to overall numbers.

At the height of the comic book boom in the 90’s they were selling around 500 million dollars in comics. American comic books appear according to your own links to be selling more that currently. And I’m at a loss as to which year in between you think was outselling those two periods of time.

Funny though because the second article you linked was three years old but the first one was from this year and it word for word said “Manga, as a matter of fact, she tells the media, is “contributing to 60 percent of the year-to-date declines.”” Kind of a stark contrast in the three year time period. Is that suggesting that the manga bubble is bursting a little?

@TheUnworthyThor - you are a sad, strange little man. And you have my pity.
TheUnworthyThor
TheUnworthyThor - 4/15/2023, 5:58 PM
@Origame - Yes I’m the sad little one for having a reading comprehension level above an 8th graders and attention span long enough to actually read full articles and not headlines. I know that’s not cool in the age of clickbait YouTube videos but I’m not a young man. I have been having these arguments for 25 years. I remember vividly having conversations in my local comic book store in the late 90’s about how the industry was dying. And again in the early 2000’s and again in the late 2000’s and early 2010’s…. Same sh*t different day. Luckily you just provide me with figures that prove my point. The fact is comic books remain profitable even before counting all the markets bolstered by the comics.
Origame
Origame - 4/15/2023, 6:26 PM
@TheUnworthyThor - ...except where are you getting 2 billion from?
TheUnworthyThor
TheUnworthyThor - 4/15/2023, 7:14 PM
@Origame - That was just a demonstrative number to illustrate that a small percentage of a large number can be much larger than a large percentage of a small number.
Origame
Origame - 4/15/2023, 7:30 PM
@TheUnworthyThor - so...you have nothing to actually prove American comics are at an all time high other than false platitudes?
TheUnworthyThor
TheUnworthyThor - 4/15/2023, 8:44 PM
@Origame - Well in 2021 there was 2.07 billion dollars in comic sales, and according to the first article you linked total units increased from 2021 to 2022 (and the average price of a comic increased) so the number of sales has to be above 2.07 billion.
Origame
Origame - 4/15/2023, 8:54 PM
@TheUnworthyThor - you just said you made that up. Again, where are you getting this?

The Forbes article I provided gave 1 billion in 2018. You're seriously telling me the comics industry somehow made double what they did 3 years prior DURING THE PANDEMIC?
TheUnworthyThor
TheUnworthyThor - 4/15/2023, 9:11 PM
@Origame - Ha ha ha ha ha ha. You’ve been talking out your ass this whole time. You are so out of the loop it’s hilarious. You apparently were completely unaware of the huge increase in comic sales between 2020 and 2021. I can’t hardly believe you’ve been talking this entire time about decreasing comic sales and you didn’t know a damn thing about what you were talking about.

@TheUnworthyThor - as I said before, you aren't breaking down dc/marvel vs other sources.

Here we see a breakdown of these numbers. The top 20 are dominated by scholastic book fair graphic novels and Manga. You don't get anything dc or marvel until 150.
TheUnworthyThor
TheUnworthyThor - 4/15/2023, 10:01 PM
@Origame - There were 435 million dollars sold in single issue physical copies alone virtually all of which are American comic books. You don’t think there were an additional 65 million dollars sold between hardcovers, trade paperbacks, and digital sales? If you combine the article I linked to and the one you did you’ll find the number is well above it. Something north of 700 million at least (and this doesn’t include Marvel Unlimited and DC Universe).
Origame
Origame - 4/15/2023, 10:04 PM
@TheUnworthyThor - ...even though you have to assume to get it there.

You even have comics writers for dc and marvel talking about how they're fearing the future of their jobs because their comics just aren't selling.
TheUnworthyThor
TheUnworthyThor - 4/15/2023, 10:06 PM
@Origame - Oh and Bookscan is a service that only tracks brick and mortar bookstore sales. Meaning it does not track comic book stores. It doesn’t track Amazon and other online retailers. It doesn’t track digital sales. So yeah we all know most people don’t buy American comic books at Barnes and Noble. Obviously American comic books are going to rank very high on their lists.
TheUnworthyThor
TheUnworthyThor - 4/15/2023, 10:11 PM
@Origame - I don’t have to assume, but it requires math that would be difficult to illustrate in a comment section and quite frankly not worth the effort since it would be hard to follow. But just a quick glance at the numbers gets you to over 700 million.

Care for an example of such a writer?
Origame
Origame - 4/15/2023, 10:19 PM
@TheUnworthyThor - again, not if you don't have the actual numbers.

And of course you can't show the math.

TheUnworthyThor - 4/15/2023, 11:50 PM
@Origame - Fine. 🙄 1,165,000,000 x .04 = 46,600,000 + 35,000,000 = 81,600,000. 435,000,000 + 81,600,000 = 516,000,000. 1,460,000,000 x 1,165,000,000 = 295,000,000 x .8 = 236,000,000 + 516,000,000 = $752,000,000 dollars. Plus digital sales. I can’t find what the split is between American comic books and manga for digital sales. Happy?
Origame
Origame - 4/16/2023, 12:59 AM
@TheUnworthyThor - no. Because none of this means anything.
