Last Days For Magneto, Loki, Mighty Avengers Coming In May

Things are looking pretty grim for some fan-favorite Marvel characters as Secret Wars approaches this spring. The End, with a capital ‘E,’ is coming, and for once, there’s nothing some of Earth’s mightiest heroes or villains can do to change that.

All that’s left is to see how they spend their remaining time before it’s all over. Will they come together with friends and loved ones or remain tangled up in the same concerns that have always driven them?

Marvel showed off the covers and solicitations for the first three of the “Last Days” books, and they all seem to strike a slightly different note. Take a look:

"First, Al Ewing and Luke Ross bring you a story of the people who faced the end of the world together, shoulder to shoulder in the face of destruction in CAPTAIN AMERICA & THE MIGHTY AVENGERS #8. Some of them wore costumes, and some of them didn’t. Some of them had super-human powers, and all some had were each other. Yet they were all Mighty Avengers in the end. And this is how they spent their last day."

"Then, ask yourself – what will your legacy be when it’s all over? Cullen Bunn and Javi Fernandez have the answers in MAGNETO #18. The Mutant Master of Magnetism has learned his time is all but spent. A life of struggle and torment brought to a cataclysmic end at the destruction of all things. With everything he’s fought for his whole life brought to its unavoidable ending, how will he cope? Will he celebrate his legacy – or be tormented by it?"

"Finally, the end of the Marvel Universe extends into Asgard and beyond as all the Ten Realms face their final hours in LOKI: AGENT OF ASGARD #14. Al Ewing and Lee Garbett bring you the curtain call of the God of Mischief. Ancient enemies march on Asgardia seeking their final vengeance – including King Loki, meaner, madder and more dangerous than before. Where is our Loki? What tragedy has befallen him, here at the end?"

So it looks like we’re getting resigned Avengers (also, if you’re also a DC fan, that cover has to remind you of The Final Night), good Magneto and bad Loki, though I’m sure that oversimplifies things just a tad. No exact release dates for these three issues have been announced yet, but they’re all coming in May, when Secret Wars officially kicks off. Don’t miss them if you enjoy these series, because there’s no guarantee they’re sticking around on the other side of the event.
