Press Release
Marvel is proud to present your first look at Secret Avengers #25, from the red-hot creative team of Rick Remender & Gabriel Hardman. The Descendants live by a simple creed: Serve Father. Protect The Core. Kill all Avengers! Against all odds, it’s up to Hawkeye’s fractured team to stop this superhuman threat from achieving their sole objective–contagious robotic evolution!
Rick Remender (Venom, Uncanny X-Force) and Gabriel Hardman (Hulk) are teaming up to take on the the Secret Avengers starting with Secret Avengers #22. Remender actually is taking over writing duties with Secret Avengers #21.1 and will be joined by Hardman in issue #22. This must be one confusing book if it requires TWO Point One jumping on points in a year!
In Thunderbolts #171, the current team will confront the original Thunderbolts with a cover by Mark Bagley, who drew the original series; Jeff Parker and Declan Shalvey will be doing their usual great job inside the book.
The Runaways may or may not be joining the Avengers Academy in a two issue story arc by Christos Gage. We will find out the outcome in Avengers Academy #27 in March, 2012.
