Plus: A behind the scenes look at the making of the animated series! Editor Tom Brevoort commented that "In terms of tone, we'll be going for the feel of the first 100 issues of the Volume 1 comic series, a real Stan Lee or Roy Thomas feel. The Black Panther's in the first issue, which also showcases the origin of the cartoon version of one of the Avengers' greatest foes. We'll have a Dr. Doom story early on, and a Hawkeye-centered tale that'll likely include the Black Widow. And a two-part time-travel saga in which the current roster will interact with the founding Avengers, as well as themselves!"
