Avengers Assemble (comics)

From CartoonWiki

Template:Infobox comic book title

Avengers Assemble is a comic book series featuring the Marvel Comics superhero team the Avengers. The first title was an ongoing series whose initial release coincided with the release of the 2012 film The Avengers.

The 2012 series was originally featured as an Avengers book featuring the cast from the 2012 film, designed to attract fans of Marvel's cinematic universe to the comics. After issue #8, it switched focus to showing different Avengers between missions. Beginning with #14 A.U., it has become the Avengers book used for crossovers. The series ended in March 2014.

In 2024, it was announced that the title will be revived as a 5-issue limited series, featuring both veterans and new recruits being added to a new team called the Avengers Emergency Response Squad.

Publication history

The 2024 limited series will be written by Steve Orlando and illustrated by Cory Smith and takes places following the "Blood Hunt" crossover event.[4]
