This March will see the release of Marvel's The Avengers Prelude #1 and #2, beginning a four issue limited series which the publisher promises will, "help set the stage for the movie event of 2012!" Below is the temporary cover (expect the final version to feature either a new official image from the movie or an artists take on the team) and solicitation for the first two issues. Marvel did similar tie-in's for Iron Man 2, THOR and Captain America: The First Avenger. Those were well received by comic book fans and we'll be sure to keep you updated with details on this new series as they're revealed.
