On October 2nd something infectious and deadly will invade the streets of the Marvel universe infecting humans and hero’s alike as writer Ed Brisson brings us this five-part mini-series about a deadly threat on the streets of New York draining hero and civilian life force indiscriminately in a tale that will see Marvel’s more street-level heroes have to step up or face catastrophe!
The series will feature art from Roge Antonio, Stephen Segovia, Mack Chater, Damian Couciero, and Adam Gorham, and covers by Juan Jose Ryp.
Back in July Brisson revealed quote:
“We’re going to put a lot of the bigger Marvel characters through the wringer here. This is a situation that ONLY folks like Iron Fist (who I’m thrilled to be writing again), Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Ben Grimm, Cloak and Dagger, and about a half-dozen street-level folks can solve. The Avengers try to get involved, but for reasons the readers will quickly learn, their involvement can be incredibly catastrophic. It could spell the end of New York, hell, maybe even the end of the world.”
as to the nature of the threat, Brisson said quote:
“It’s not often that you really get to build a new bad from the ground up, and that’s been a real exciting challenge here. Our heroes are unprepared for it. This thing is indiscriminate, it’s unpredictable, and it’s unbeatable.”
Here is the preview art of the series as revealed on www.marvel.com today:
