It's the fabulous first issue of an all-new Avengers series?set in the continuity of the upcoming cartoon!
Hawkeye! The Wasp! Scarlet Witch! Wonder Man! Tigra! Ant-Man! They are the Earth's Mighiest Heroes, standing united against threats that would vanquish any single super hero! But now an experiment by Hank Pym may have unleashed a menace beyond even their ability to conquer! And when the battle is over, more than one Avenger may not rise to fight again! 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!"
Ty Templeton (Batman Adventures) is the series' writer while Derec Aucoin will pencil. Mike Wieringo (Tellos) supplies the first issue's cover. "
