Avengers: Everybody Wants To Rule The World Prose Novel From Dan Abnett Coming In 2015

When we talked to Dan Abnett back in June, one of the things he mentioned but couldn’t talk about in detail was that he had another Marvel prose novel on the way, following up on the Rocket Raccoon and Groot: Steal the Galaxy book that he released in 2014.

Now we know exactly what that mystery project is. Marvel officially announced today that Avengers: Everybody Wants to Rule the World is set for an April 2015 release, cannily timed to come out just before Avengers: Age of Ultron blasts into theaters. Because synergy.

Here’s the company’s description of said novel:

"The Avengers have fought their fair share of dangerous and deadly foes. Are they prepared to face them again – all at once?! In Berlin, Captain America battles against the forces of Hydra. In the Savage Land, Black Widow and Hawkeye attempt to foil the maniacal plot of A.I.M. In Washington, the Invincible Iron Man battles the robotic hordes of Ultron. In Mangapore, Bruce Banner and Nick Fury do battle against the High Evolutionary! The attacks can’t all be a coincidence—but who, or what, is behind them?"

Hydra, A.I.M., Ultron and the High Evolutionary all in one story? Sign me up. Also, for fans of the comedic moments in Marvel films, Abnett should be able to provide that same kind of trademark humor in print.

“Marvel Prose Novels offer a whole new way to experience the Marvel Universe,” Marvel SVP Sales & Marketing David Gabriel said in a statement. “Who better to bring the Avengers to life for an original prose novel than Dan Abnett? This one is crammed cover to cover with the action Marvel fans love.”

Hopefully Abnett used this song as inspiration while writing, or at least while naming the book:

Look for Avengers: Everybody Wants to Rule the World next April wherever you buy your books.
