Dc marvel crossover 20218/26/2023 ![]() The team will lead off their new adventures with an appearance in the Very Merry Multiverse one-shot next month via a story from writer Ivan Cohen and artist Eleonara Carlini, and to tease that story's arrival DC also dropped Carlini's character designs for the team. That opens a very, very wide range of storytelling possibilities for the many creators involved in the event, from aged versions of familiar heroes to new characters taking up old mantles to characters who retain a certain familiarity but are nevertheless new creations.Įarlier this week, via Screen Rant, we got a look at one group of these characters in the form of "Teen Justice," a superteam from Earth-11 that will feature several genderswapped versions of DC characters and, perhaps most importantly, a nonbinary speedster named Jess Chambers, aka Kid Quick. Whatever happens next year, on the other side of the upcoming Enter The Phoenix arc, should remind us one more time, and deliver a story of event-level proportions within the pages of Earth's Mightiest Heroes' own title.Ī few weeks back, we told you about Future State, the ambitious new publishing initative from DC Comics that will suspend publication on ongoing titles for two months (beginning in January) so the publisher can roll out a series of titles set in the DC Universe's future. The Avengers are, for many readers, the Marvel superteam, and Aaron's run on the title has reminded us of their potential again and again. Yes, event comics are great and fun and friendly to readers who just want to dip into one big story through a miniseries, but comics can and should bring their biggest guns to the forefront of ongoing series starring top-level heroes. I loved Avengers #38, I love what this teaser is setting up, but perhaps more importantly, I love what it represents. While I've read Avengers #38 already, I'm not going to tell you exactly what it means, but I will tell you it stems from a loose end in the Age of Khonshu storyline that just wrapped up in issue #37, a very big loose end that sets up what might very well be the biggest Avengers epic of the Aaron era, and that's an era that started with a host of Celestials. So now we have this, a teaser image that promises to help unspool what's to come from this run of comics in 2021. Like his God of Thunder adventures, Aaron's Avengers stories are big, bold, action-heavy pieces that reach deep into the past of the Marvel Universe and far into the future, while still retaining a focus on the characters as they exist in the present, saving the world from everything from vampire wars to Egyptian moon gods. ![]() The current volume of Avengers has been overseen for more than two years now by writer Jason Aaron, one of Marvel's go-to guys for universe shake-ups and big marquee stories, and what's been particularly great about following his run is the way it often presents as kind of an ensemble version of what he did with Thor for several years. ![]() Which is why I was particularly intrigued by the teaser image Marvel dropped this week in anticipation of Avengers #38, on sale today. I know there's a lot of fatigue surrounding event publishing and its often relentless nature, and while I don't feel it myself, I also really appreciate when Big Two publishers are happy to give us the promise of massive, universe-altering stories within the pages of ongoing series we might already be reading. We live in an era of comics marketing that is very often driven by event books, massive miniseries or maxiseries meant as self-contained boosters for a whole universe ( Dark Nights: Death Metal), or crossover events meant to infuse attention into one specific part of a publisher's lineup ( X of Swords). We've got what you need to know about huge crossovers, real-life issues facing the industry, cool first looks, the week's hot new comics, and everything in between. Welcome to Comics Wire, SYFY WIRE's weekly comics column that gets at the pulse of what's going on in comics right now.
