Last month, Marvel Comics announced a new era of Marvel Mech Strike, hence why you've probably seen a bunch of merchandise (like Funko Pops) start appearing in stores. Now, though, we have details on the tie-in comic book that's going to accompany those toys.
Mech Strike: Monster Hunters will be a five-issue limited series written by Christos Gage and illustrated by Paco Diaz. The series will feature Iron Man, Black Panther, Hulk, and more of Earth's Mightiest Heroes outfitted in their brand-new monster-hunting mech suits...and they look pretty badass!
In last year's Avengers: Mech Strike, the Avengers donned new mech armor to battle an unprecedented threat. Now a trio of the world’s most notorious super villains, assembled by Doctor Doom, have used the Eye of the Kraken to give themselves a mystical - and monstrous! - upgrade. In order to defeat their foes, the Avengers must undergo a similar transformation - and become Monster Hunters! But will the heroes be consumed by their dark new powers?
"I've been a fan of giant robots and Marvel comics since I was a little kid," Gage says. "The only other thing I loved as much was monsters. And now Mech Strike has gone and put them all together! It's like I've been preparing my whole life to write this comic. You'll get heroes, villains, giant mech suits, monsters, and monster mech suits...everything a great comic book should have! It's the Avengers fighting the Marvel Universe's deadliest villains to prevent a monster apocalypse."
