The third installment of Marvel’s Avengers Assembly series is set to arrive in early 2022 as the Avengers Assembly team is taking a field trip to Charles Xavier’s Academy!
Author Preeti Chhibber and illustrator James Lancett are once again teaming up for Marvel’s Avengers Assembly: X-Change Students 101, the second follow-up to Marvel’s Avengers Assembly: Orientation and Marvel’s Avengers Assembly: The Sinister Substitute.
After receiving their training with the Avengers, Kamala Khan /Ms. Marvel, Doreen Green/ Squirrel Girl, and Miles Morales/Spider-Man are branching out and expand their horizons. So to do this, the trio is taking a trip north to study alongside the X-Men for the semester! While at the Xavier Academy, look for them to meet some of the most recognizable mutants Kitty Pryde, Wolverine to Beast, Gambit, and more in this fun-filled newest volume.
In an interview with Marvel.com, the creative team has this to say about the project:
“I can’t believe we’re already on Book 3 of Avenger’s Assembly – this one was such an… X-CITING book to write. Sorry, not sorry. I get to write the X-Men, which means as many x-cruciating puns as I can fit into one book. Jokes aside, it was such a great… x-perience (Sorry! Last one! I swear!) writing about the kids picking up and settling down in one of my favorite pieces of Marvel history: Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters. Envisioning the disaster of Gambit as a teacher, or how starstruck Ms. Marvel, Spider-Man, and Squirrel Girl would be meeting Wolverine or Storm, was truly a complete joy to write. I hope kids will love reading it as much as I loved writing it!,” said Chhibber.
Lancett added:
“I am so excited about Book 3! I think it might actually be the most fun book in the series to date. It’s got mutants, dinosaurs, and Super Hero basketball—what more could you want?! This book has been a treat to draw because not only do I get to continue to draw the main characters that I love—Spider-Man, Ms. Marvel, and Squirrel Girl—but this time I get to draw X-Men too! I loved the X-Men when I was a kid (especially Wolverine), so it’s a dream come true to put my own spin on these iconic characters.”
Marvel’s Avengers Assembly: X-Change Students 101 will be available everywhere books are sold on January 4, 2022, and you can pre-order the original illustrated novel now!
