This November, superstar creators Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto reunite after their Eisner-nominated run of Daredevil for a bold new run of AVENGERS. Today, fans can get their first look at a lettered preview from AVENGERS #1, alongside a fresh lineup of variant covers!
Spinning directly out of AVENGERS: ARMAGEDDON, the five-issue limited series by Zdarsky, Delio Diaz and Frank Alpizar that launched in June, the new ongoing series thrusts Earth’s Mightiest Heroes into a dramatically transformed Marvel Universe. Following their cataclysmic battle against Red Hulk, the Avengers have been disbanded, but Earth still needs to be avenged! A radical lineup of heroes— CAPTAIN MARVEL, SPIDER-MAN, DAREDEVIL, WOLVERINE, LUKE CAGE, and a powerhouse new hero—assemble to protect a broken world that has more reason than ever not to trust them. Once again, the Avengers take center stage in Marvel Comics storytelling, and it all starts here!
See the team come together in a never-before-seen lettered preview, which will also be featured in the back of select new Marvel releases hitting stands over the next few weeks. And this is just the beginning—readers can look forward to additional first looks at Marvel’s biggest launches in the back of upcoming titles.
AVENGERS #1 will be the latest Marvel Comics launch to feature TRUE BELIEVERS BLIND BAGS, special sealed bags that contain exclusive variant covers not available for regular ordering, including rare, one-of-a-kind, hand-drawn sketch covers from surprise contributors. Today, two new AVENGERS #1 variant covers are unveiled, including a striking new cover by Adi Granov and a special Marvel Studios variant cover celebrating the release of Avengers: Doomsday. Both are exclusive to True Believers Blind Bags.

When you have to reply on a hokey stretch of a Star Wars tie-in for a whole team of actual Avengers...
Bendis-redux and another out-of-the-ashes-of-a-broken-Earth arc? NOPE thank you.
This is two of my favourite things mashed together.
This is like the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup of pop culture to me.
I am very, VERY excited for this, even though it will be hands down the silliest, most non-sensical comic I've read ever. And I've read BOTH Batman/Deadpool comics ..
Why such and original concept, what's never Disassembled 2, House of M 2?
I'm waiting to hear that this will be the secondary title, and that they haven't announced the REAL book yet. This is just a retread of what Bendis did, twenty years ago. Except, this time around we don't even have Steve and Tony to anchor the team. I'd like a more traditional roster. This really isn't satisfying. And, Carol with the short hair again? No thanks...
Oh, yeah, the NEW Avengers. I was gonna say this book is just Heroes for Hire with the wrong name, but you're right, it's Bendis's New Avengers minus Cap and Iron Man.
Interesting...
A bit of a New Avengers reunion. I'm up for it
Hurm. I'm confused why Wolverine is such a big part of this story. Doesn't he have his own mutant problems to worry about?
No, he doesn't. His ongoing series ended in December, with issue #16. Since then, Sam Wilson currently has a five-issue mini-series, featuring Red Hulk, (Big surprise there, right? Gotta make the comics resemble the MCU, to try to give the film some momentum. Yuck.) which carries Steve Rogers Legacy Numbering on its covers. Until this announcement was made yesterday, Steve Rogers was without a book of his own, and presumably would have been, until further notice. Even with this announcement, it's going to be a six month gap between his ongoing series, since this new book doesn't begin until July.
On 2/21/2025 at 3:03 PM, since83 said:Steve has a current ongoing series right now.
Steve has a current ongoing series right now.
It's about damn time they finally announce a new series. It's ludicrous for Steve Rogers to not have a Captain America title of his own on the shelves. They gave Steve's Legacy Numbering to Sam Wilson (again) for a stupid mini-series that ties into the MCU. They took away his book, and they've also had him off of the Avengers roster for two years, now. Steve Rogers is not some D-list background character that should be sitting on the bench. Hopefully, this new book will carry his Legacy Numbers on the cover, as it should be, and they can finally tone down the Sam Wilson Cap stuff, now that his movie will soon be in the rear-view mirror.
