News and Previews

Marvel is not known for releasing original graphic novels so this comes as a bit of a surprise. I guess they saw the success of DC Earth One line and previous hot sellers such as the Killing Joke and decided to join the fray for those original trade dollars.

Rumours began to swirl yesterday and it has been confirmed today via Amazon with the listing of Avengers: Endless Wartime written by Warren Ellis and drawn by Mike McKone. It's scheduled for an October release and has a price tag of $24.99. Here's Amazon's description:
 

An abomination, long thought buried, has resurfaced in a war-torn land. But now it wears an American flag. Faced with another nightmare reborn, Captain America will not stand for yet more death at the hands of a ghost from his past. Haunted by his greatest shame, Thor must renew the hunt for a familiar beast. At their side, an assemblage of allies united to end the threats no one of them could face alone. They are soldiers. Warriors. Comrades-in-arms. Mighty heroes led by a living legend, stronger together than apart. They are the Avengers.

Avengers: Endless Wartime is bookended by an introduction from Marvel's The Avengers star Clark Gregg (better known as "Agent Phil Coulson") and an afterword from the legendary Stan Lee, co-creator of this blockbuster super hero team.
