It’s Once Again A Day Unlike Any Other In September’s ‘Avengers Assemble’
by Tony Thornley
Earth’s mightiest heroes never sit still for long. This September, a second team of Avengers forms to defend the planet in Avengers Assemble.
Spinning directly out of the events of Avengers and Blood Hunt, Avengers Assemble will see Steve Rogers forming a team of new and familiar faces to combat threats all across the globe. Writer Steve Orlando will bring this team to life with superstar artists including Cory Smith, Scot Eaton, Marcelo Ferreira, Valentina Pinti and more.
In the midst of Blood Hunt, Captain America assembled a new team to combat the vampire invasion on the street as the main team fought the big guns. Now Steve assembles the Wasp, Hercules, Hawkeye, Photon, She-Hulk, Night Thrasher, Lightning, Wonder Man, Shang-Chi and Lightspeed to protect the globe from threats big and small.
Each issue of this five issue series will feature a new threat, while the team bonds and grows together. Based out of Avengers Mansion, the squad will respond to threats at the drop of a hat, whether Hawkeye is hosting a poker night, or Wonder Man is manning the grill.
“This is a great time to assemble!” Orlando shared. “Avengers Assemble is bringing a murderer’s row of classic Avengers back to the Mansion, and classic comics storytelling is coming with it! A team of icons and new recruits alike, but heavy on the icons! And in every issue, a barnburner of an entire story packed into twenty pages! West Coast Avengers was the first comic book I ever bought, full stop. So, to be part of a return to form, heavy on personality, rich in action, is more than exciting — it’s an honor! Starting this summer, Avengers Emergency Response Squad is always on duty!”
Check out the first issue covers by Leinil Yu, Cory Smith, Emili Laiso and Betsy Cola, and watch for Avengers Assemble #1 this September from Marvel Comics.
