THOR! CAPTAIN AMERICA! IRON MAN! 

EARTH’S MIGHTIEST HEROES FIGHT AS ONE In AVENGERS #1!

Launch Parties And Promotions Come Together To Create 

An Epic Avengers Event For All Fans!

In the wake of AVENGERS: NO SURRENDER, a new AVENGERS team will rise to save the day…and a new exciting story by Jason Aaron and Ed McGuinness will begin!

Along with Captain Marvel, Black Panther, Ghost Rider (Robbie Reyes), Hulk (Jennifer Walters) and Doctor Strange, AVENGERS #1 will reunite the powerful Big Three, as Thor, Captain America, and Iron Man work together to save the world from one of their most powerful enemies yet: the 2000-foot-tall space gods known as the Dark Celestials!

As the Avengers invade pop culture in their theatrical release just prior to the debut of AVENGERS #1, Marvel will partner with participating retail stores to host AVENGERS #1 LAUNCH PARTIES.
