New York, NY— Earth has been
marked as an “Avengers World”, protected by Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and
more from the deadliest threats facing humanity. A powerful and destructive
race is on a collision course with Earth and the only thing in their path is the
Avengers! But even Earth’s Mightiest Heroes realize the one hope of defeating
this dire threat is to unite every great hero across the cosmos…because only
with a united Avengers Universe is there any chance of survival!
With our heroes at the other end of the universe, who is
left to protect Earth? Enter Thanos, the galaxy’s most ruthless threat and an
unparalleled force of brutality who brings order to the chaos of life through
murder. The greatest threat to the Mad Titan’s work—and perhaps the universe’s
greatest hope—is something he created leaving no world safe. Earth’s last hope
may lie in the hands of a man who can level cities with a single whisper –
Black Bolt, king of the Inhumans. But can the fearsome leader of a race hated
and feared by his world, lead his people against Thanos? If they fall, so
does the Earth—and the entire universe with it.
The Biggest Heroes. The Biggest Threats. The Biggest
Sacrifices. This is Marvel’s INFINITY.
Written by New York Times best-selling writer Jonathan Hickman
(Avengers, Avengers VS. X-Men) and illustrated by superstars Jim
Cheung (Avengers: Children’s Crusade) Jerome Opena (Avengers, Uncanny
X-Force), and Dustin Weaver (Avengers, Uncanny X-Men), Infinity is
a six issue comic book event debuting in August with an oversized first issue.
“Events stories simply don't come bigger than Infinity,”
said Axel Alonso, Editor in Chief, Marvel Entertainment. “ Jonathan
Hickman is joined by three of our top artists — Jim Cheung, Jerome Opena and
Dustin Weaver — to deliver an epic tale that covers all corners of the Marvel
Universe and narrows the gap between Earth and the cosmos like never before.
It's called the 'Marvel Universe' for a reason.”
Readers get their first look at Marvel’s Infinity for
free on Saturday, May 4th as part of Free Comic Book Day with FCBD:
Infinity. In this all-new story by the blockbuster creative team of
Jonathan Hickman and Jim Cheung, witness the opening shots of the war that will
be heard around the galaxy. Plus, relive Thanos’ first solo story which has
never been reprinted till now!
“I'm very excited about Infinity for a number of
reasons,” said Hickman. “First, I think it's wonderful that the story is coming
organically out of what's been going on during Marvel NOW!. Things that
we've seen unfold in Avengers, New Avengers, Thanos Rising,
Guardians of the Galaxy, and others are the catalyst for Infinity.
And second, for me personally, Infinity is the first big step in a
series of big steps that make up the long term plans for the Avengers books I
have the privilege of writing. It should be a lot of fun.”
Every issue of Infinity includes a code for a free
digital copy of that same comic on the Marvel Comics app for iOS and
Android devices. Additionally, each issue of Infinity features special
augmented reality content available exclusive through the Marvel AR app – including
cover recaps, behind the scenes features and more that add value to your
reading experience at no additional cost.
