Marvel rebrands Thunderbolts comic as New Avengers title
New Avengers Return: A Revolutionary Era for Earth's Mightiest Heroes
The Marvel Universe is gearing up for a new phase with the return of the New Avengers. After a five-year hiatus, the team is back, and they're ready to take on new challenges.
The first issue of the new series, titled New Avengers, is set to hit stands on June 11. Bucky Barnes, now known as Revolution, will be assembling the team. The roster includes Black Widow, Wolverine (Laura Kinney), Eddie Brock as Carnage, the Hulk, Clea Strange, and Namor.
The mission of this new team is clear: to take down the "Killuminati," evil clones of Marvel's collection of geniuses. This marks a departure from the team's previous focus on covert, high-stakes missions, as they now face a global and multiversal threat that requires a united front.
The series is written by Sam Humphries, who previously worked on "Uncanny X-Force". The artwork is by Ton Lima, known for his work on "West Coast Avengers".
The New Avengers will determine what to do about their new adversaries, and their actions will likely have far-reaching consequences. The team's goal is to usher in a revolutionary new era of Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
