Announced—and dropped—on last Thursday during Avengers Assemble: A This Week in Marvel Special Event at NYCC 2023, AVENGERS UNITED is the latest ongoing series from Marvel’s Infinity Comics. Host Ryan Penagos, VP & Creative Executive at Marvel, was joined by Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski and Marvel Executive Editor Tom Brevoort to talk about this epic Avengers run that kicks off the action with a 25-issue story arc. Series writer Derek Landy and artist Marcio Fiorito also teased the introduction of the series’ all-new intergalactic threat.
“The Ghesh are a technologically advanced race who have quietly, and without incident, spread their influence throughout their corner of the galaxy,” said Landy of his opening arc. “They’re the kind of aliens you’d want to make first contact with, quite honestly. But they have a moon, Yun-To, on which lies their first-ever colony, and relations between the two cultures have been strained as of late.”
“Let’s just say that this time the Avengers have no idea what’s coming their way,” said Fiorito. “The Ghesh definitely are much more than meets the eye!”
