Watch the New Trailer for Marvel's HEROES REBORN Comic Series
Marvel Comics has been teasing fans about a new Heroes Reborn story, and now we have a little more information. Written by Jason Aaron and illustrated by Ed McGuiness, Heroes Reborn is a new series that explores a Marvel Universe with no Avengers. What heroes would step up in the world and stop the forces of evil? The answer is the Squadron Supreme of America.
Welcome to a world where Tony Stark never built an Iron Man armor. Where Thor is a hard-drinking atheist who despises hammers. Where Wakanda is dismissed as a myth. And where Captain America was never found in the ice, because there were no Avengers to find him. Instead this world has always been protected by Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, the Squadron Supreme of America. And now the Squadron face an attack from some of their fiercest enemies, like Dr. Juggernaut, the Black Skull, the Silver Witch and Thanos with his Infinity Rings. Blade is the one man alive who seems to remember that the entire world has somehow been… reborn. And so begins his search for the cause behind this ominous shift in reality.
Blade appears to be a prominent character of the series based on the trailer below where he has landed in this alternate world. This looks like a fun series. Talking about the new series, Aaron said:
Maybe the wildest story I've ever put on paper. I got to cut loose on this and release my inner comic-reared child in a really profound way, and together with a cadre of immensely imaginative artists, we built a world that I'm pretty confident in saying is quite unlike any version of the Marvel Universe you've seen before. It grew out of the pages of my AVENGERS run, but kept getting bigger and bigger as it went, and the more pieces I put in place for this Reborn world, the more gleeful and excited I became. This project really stoked the fires of my love for comics in all the right ways.
McGuinness added:
I’ve been having an absolute blast designing and drawing some new spins on old favorites Jason Aaron has brought to the table. They are all with a purpose story wise which makes them really cool to get into from the art side of things. He may be the maddest scientist of all!
Executive editor Tom Brevoort said:
It’s only natural that after the Phoenix burns the world to ash, there should come a rebirth, and so REBORN is the next big step in the massive super-story that Jason and Ed have been crafting in Avengers. Prepare to enter a very different yet hauntingly familiar Marvel Universe!
Heroes Reborn #1 is set to hit comic shop shelves in May. Are you ready to venture to this new world?
