The Marvel NOW! titles are slowly rolling in. We'll be seeing a lot of creator changes along with new jumping on points for readers. One of the shifts is Jonathan Hickman on AVENGERS. Hickman will be joined by Jerome Opena on art and Dean White handling the colors.

Back in September we got an early first look at Opena's pencils. Today Marvel has sent us a full colored look at some of the first issue. Things are looking a little dreary for the team.

Marvel is pleased to present your first look at Avengers #1, kicking off the all-new ongoing series from the blockbuster creative team of writer Jonathan Hickman, artist Jerome Opena and colorist Dean White! The greatest heroes in comics together on one unbeatable team! Now shipping twice a month, the Avengers “go large,” expanding their roster and their sphere of influence to a global and even interplanetary level. When Captain America puts out his call - who will answer? Big threats, big ideas, big idealism - these are the Avengers NOW!



As part of Marvel NOW!, Avengers joins a number of titles that will take the Marvel Universe in an exciting all-new direction, as the industry’s top creators join the top Super Heroes to deliver all-new ongoing series, great for new and lapsed readers alike!
