What to expect from Avengers: Twilight
After teasing the series back in September, Marvel officially unveiled Avengers: Twilight at New York Comic Con 2023. A synopsis for issue #1 reads as follows: “In a gleaming new world of prosperity, Captain America is no more. But Steve Rogers still exists, floating through an America where freedom is an illusion, where the Avengers are strangers and his friends are long dead. But is the Dream? How do you assemble Avengers in a world that doesn’t want them?”
According to Marvel, the series has been in development “for years.” The publisher promises that “readers will be immersed in a future where the age of heroes has come to a dramatic end. But the future still needs to be Avenged, and Steve Rogers will pick up the shield one last time to save not only the world, but the Avengers’ legacy.” To that end, Avengers: Twilight will also “introduce new characters with startling connections to the Avengers of today and reveal the tragic fate that befell Marvel’s greatest heroes.”
Avengers: Twilight #1 goes on sale January 17, 2024 from Marvel Comics.
