Dive into the next era of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes with a lettered preview and new cover reveals for AVENGERS #1 on sale November 4.

Earth’s Mightiest Survivors Assemble!

This November, superstar creators Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto reunite after their Eisner-nominated run of Daredevil for a bold new run of AVENGERS. Today, fans can get their first look at a lettered preview from AVENGERS #1, alongside a fresh lineup of variant covers!

Spinning directly out of AVENGERS: ARMAGEDDON, the five-issue limited series by Zdarsky, Delio Diaz and Frank Alpizar that launched in June, the new ongoing series thrusts Earth’s Mightiest Heroes into a dramatically transformed Marvel Universe. Following their cataclysmic battle against Red Hulk, the Avengers have been disbanded, but Earth still needs to be avenged! A radical lineup of heroes— CAPTAIN MARVEL, SPIDER-MAN, DAREDEVIL, WOLVERINE, LUKE CAGE, and a powerhouse new hero—assemble to protect a broken world that has more reason than ever not to trust them. Once again, the Avengers take center stage in Marvel Comics storytelling, and it all starts here!

See the team come together in a never-before-seen lettered preview, which will also be featured in the back of select new Marvel releases hitting stands over the next few weeks. And this is just the beginning—readers can look forward to additional first looks at Marvel’s biggest launches in the back of upcoming titles.

AVENGERS #1 will be the latest Marvel Comics launch to feature TRUE BELIEVERS BLIND BAGS, special sealed bags that contain exclusive variant covers not available for regular ordering, including rare, one-of-a-kind, hand-drawn sketch covers from surprise contributors. Today, two new AVENGERS #1 variant covers are unveiled, including a striking new cover by Adi Granov and a special Marvel Studios variant cover celebrating the release of Avengers: Doomsday. Both are exclusive to True Believers Blind Bags.

AVENGERS #1 TRUE BELIEVERS BLIND BAGS will only contain exclusive variant covers not available for regular ordering. The main cover and regular open-to-order variant covers cannot be found in True Believers Blind Bags. See below for a list of the exclusive blind bag variant covers.
