The Avengers Face A Frightening New Foe- The Ashen Combine!
by Tony Thornley
The Avengers are already facing an insurmountable challenge as their newest volume puts them face to face with the Tribulation Events. In Jed MacKay and CF Villa’s new series, that’s not going to be the only threat they face.
MacKay is already known for the unsettling and horrifying new threats he’s created with his artistic collaborators. Just take a look at his Doctor Strange stories. Now take a look at the latest addition to those creations- the Ashen Combine!
From Marvel’s press release:
Meet the ASHEN COMBINE!
· LORD ENNUI, an embodiment of atrophy who drains a city’s life and spirit.
· IDOL ALABASTER, a living godhead that you’ll worship whether you like it or not.
· CITYSMITH, an insane artist that twists cities like clay.
· THE DEAD, a mysterious commander of ghosts.
· MERIDIAN DIADEM, an endless dungeon who consumes, converts, and spits out prisoner after prisoner.
The Avengers fly into action as this collection of the multiverse’s greatest monsters descends from the Impossible City to follow their respective appetites. Cityslayers all, these super nihilists pursue the assassination of metropolitan areas for sport! Each member ravages populations in their own terrifying way and their unique methods of destruction will make them a formidable match against even the powerful roster of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes that assemble in this new run of Avengers ! As the battlezones are declared, the Avengers scatter to defend Earth. Who will be pitted against who?
We’re already big fans of MacKay’s work, and this looks to be a lot of fun as the gallery of design sheets show. The newest volume of Avengers debuts May 17th from Marvel Comics. Be sure to pre-order the series today!
