COMICS: Marvel Reveals Covers And Solicitation Text For New AVENGERS, BLACK PANTHER, And VENOM Titles

Last year, Marvel attempted to appease dissatisfied fans by returning to original numbering and bringing back "Legacy" heroes. Unfortunately, they had alienated so many readers that it didn't make much of a difference, hence why the plan is to now return to launching new #1s while simultaneously relaunching a number of books. Among them are Avengers, Black Panther, and, uh, Venom.

In fairness, these all sound really good as the big three - Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor - are reunited in Avengers and T'Challa takes his adventures to outer space in the relaunched Black Panther.

Venom, meanwhile, will seemingly pit the symbiote against Eddie Brock in a series which definitely sounds like it will be more entertaining than the upcoming movie. For details on all of these new titles and to check out the various covers and solicitation text, all you need to do is click through the gallery below. Do any of these get you excited for Marvel latest relaunch? Sound off down below.

AVENGERS #1

A NEW ERA DAWNS FOR EARTH’S MIGHTIEST HEROES – courtesy of JASON AARON and ED McGUINNESS! Thor Odinson. Steve Rogers. Tony Stark. The Big Three of the Avengers are reunited at last! And just in time to save the world from total annihilation at the hands of their most powerful enemies yet: the 2000-foot-tall space gods known as Celestials. Behold the coming of the Final Host. Who will answer the call to assemble for a wild new era of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes? Hint: one of them has a flaming skull for a head. And what strange, world-shaking connection exists between the Final Host and Odin’s ancient band of Prehistoric Avengers?

AVENGERS #2

• Black Panther and Dr. Strange battle for their lives deep within the earth…

• Captain Marvel battles death and destruction raining down from the skies…

• …while Thor, Iron Man and Captain America lead the valiant (yet hopeless) fight against the Final Host of Dark Celestials.

• And Ghost Rider and the Savage Hulk make brutal war against...each other?
• Plus, you can’t have a gathering of Avengers without a certain Prince of Lies, now can you?

The big three together again. Been too long.

Consumers will eventually realise this "Issue 1!" marketing strategy is a scam. First issues are now hold now value because they'll be another issue 1 in a few years.

TheUnworthyThor - 2/23/2018, 10:13 AM

@Nightwing1015 - They haven’t in 20 years. Kind of doubting it will happen at this point.

Nightwing1015 - 2/23/2018, 10:41 AM

@TheUnworthyThor - It'll happen because there've been so many relaunches since 2011. Renumberings didn't happen all that often and certainly not as much as today.

The New 52 (2011)
Marvel NOW! (2013)
All-New, All-Different Marvel (2014)
DC Convergence Relaunch (2015)
DC Rebirth (2016)

Can’t wait for the inevitable relaunch in 2 years when the Fantastic Four and X-Men come back with a bang.

I find Ghost Rider to be a very interesting and unusual inclusion on the Avengers team. For some reason, every time I look at it, it just doesn't seem right.

And that Black Panther on the throne is lit AF! I want that as the throne in the next movie.

Fantastic four or gtfo

No Phoenix...hmmm.
Good.

Spock0Clock - 2/23/2018, 10:18 AM

I know it's playing right into their hands, but I'm going to give some of these titles a chance since they are restarting their numbering and providing potentially a jumping back-in point. Especially with Bendis gone (who I blame for a lot of systemic problems across the line, though that doesn't mean he's always a terrible writer).

Still going to focus on Bronze Age Fantastic Four, though. That shit is tight as hell.

THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 2/23/2018, 10:22 AM

Some awesome covers. The first and last ones are my favorite.

But this one...

Not sure if it's paying homage or just a blatant rip off.
