Suit Up: A New Assembly of Avengers

Avengers #1

That big explosion you hear at the comic shop is the arrival of Avengers #1 (SEP160885) part of the Marvel NOW! books that are taking fans for a joyride without brakes, and without fear.  All options are on the table in what you can expect from this new team that includes Captain America, Thor, The Vision, The Wasp, Spider-Man, and Hercules. Trust us when we say this new assembly of heroes won't have any time to reflect on the repercussions of their Civil War. No sooner have they agreed to fight alongside one another, Kang the Conqueror has come back, and he wants them dead, buried, and forgotten. Get ready for Kang War One, and it all happens courtesy of writer Mark Waid and artist Mike Del Mundo!

Avengers #1.1

Are you one to question authority? Are you never satisfied to hear "that's just the way it is"? If you want to why the old order changed, pick up Avengers #1.1 (SEP160925) from Mark Waid and Barry Kitson to see what really happened all those years ago when the founding Avengers turned their membership over to a set of new recruits. Harken back to a time when Cap just came out of the icebox, and Hawkeye, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch were his new emissaries for a world unfamiliar. Know your history! See how the past gave way to prelude! And if you think this cover image should be a candidate for wallpaper in your home of office, pick up the Avengers #1.1 By Kitson Poster (SEP161162)!

Occupy Avengers #1

He's not the kind of guy that rolls over and keeps his mouth shut. Hawkeye is just the opposite. Get in his face and tell him that his opinion doesn't matter, and you're likely to lose a few teeth in the process. He doesn't think the status quo should silence opposition. All voices matter, and this is the starting point for writer David Walker and artist Carlos Pacheo as they bring us Occupy Avengers #1 (SEP160932) from the new string of Marvel NOW! titles. The little guy just got a big boost from individuals who have been called everything from "outlaws," to "rebels," to "Robin Hoods." You be the judge, and see if their skills, smarts, and burning drive to do the right thing are enough to pave new roads, and get the job done so that the people can take back justice!

All-New All-Different Avengers Volume 1 HC

Mark Waid, Adam Kubert, and a variety of artists collaborated on a bunch of Avengers books that spanned not only twelve issues of All-New All-Different Avengers, but also material that's found in Avengers #0 from 2015, as well as the Avengers books released on Free Comic Book Day 2015 and 2016. These titles begged the question of whether or not these new incarnations of the team would be remembered, not only by you...but among the heroes themselves! In the "Standoff"event, they forget their true identities! So was it really smart to lump in Nova, Ms. Marvel and Miles Morales into an Avengers lineup? Pick up the All-New All-Different Avengers Volume 1 HC ( SEP161122) and find out yourself! It's old school meets the new kids on the block!

Young Avengers By Heinberg And Cheung Complete Collection TP

The kids are alright. They have a winning streak to be proud of, as Young Avengers became the sleeper hit of 2005 and the critical darling of 2006. Acclaimed TV veteran Allan Heinberg made his comics debut with a band of super-powered teens that survived the wrath of Kang the Conqueror and weathered the disapproval of the adult Avengers! Oh, the drama of growing pains! But there was enough drama to make the first twelve issues of the series and Young Avengers Special ripe for collecting in the Young Avengers By Heinberg And Cheung Complete Collection TP (SEP161144). If you were late getting to the bus the first time, now's your second chance to get it right by catching up on the fallout from a sadist named Mister Hyde, and the consequences of meeting the extraterrestrial Super-Skrull. Oh, yeah. And then there's that full-scale alien invasion.
