Four Big Fights, One Big Comic: Avengers VS
By Nick Tylwalk
I love the huge cast of characters and epic scale on display in the current Jonathan Hickman run of Avengers, but sometimes you just want to read some simpler stories about Earth’s Mightiest Heroes smacking around some of their vilest villains. If you’re feeling like that, you might want to check out Avengers VS, which debuts on Marvel’s digital platforms in April before getting the one-shot print treatment in May.
Writer Joe Caramagna teams with four different artists, including veteran Ron Lim, to tell four standalone stories that pit the Avengers against Frost Giants, Attuma, M.O.D.O.K. and the Red Skull. Yet they’re also interconnected, so reading them all together should give you an extra bit of insight.
“AVENGERS VS is a collection of stories starring a cast of classic Avengers told in a classic Avengers style,” Caramagna said in an interview with Marvel.com. “Whether you’re a fan of Marvel comics, movies, or all of the above, there’s something in AVENGERS VS for you! ”
Look for the stories on digital in April, with all of them assembling in one big 56-page comic that hits your LCS the following month. Hmm … Avengers VS also sounds like a good name for a video game. Marvel Games, just a thought there.
