Marvel prepares to unleash "Infinity" with a new trailer

Coming to comic book stores this August, "Infinity", the next big event of Marvel Comics, sees the return of one of the biggest villains the Marvel Universe has ever known - Thanos!

Woven together by the creative team of Jonathan Hickman, Jim Cheung, Jerome Opena, and Dustin Weaver, the six issue comic book saga will unite Earth's Mightiest Heroes and bring them clashing against a cosmic threat that will not only determine the fate of Earth, but the Marvel Universe as well.

Via Marvel.com, here's the trailer to "Infinity".

Infinity makes a mark in the Marvel Universe starting on August 2013.

SPOILER: Variant cover to Avengers Vs X-Men #12 revealed

For those keeping score with Marvel's "Avengers Vs X-Men" miniseries, it's safe to assume that everybody knows that it will lead on to their eventual "Marvel NOW!" initiative, where several titles will be relaunched and rebranded as a result of the repercussions this crossover event will bring. Now this will tread into SPOILER territory for some, so shy away if you don't want to find out who exactly is the big baddie Earth's Mightiest Heroes will face at the final chapter that gets released this October, as revealed by this variant cover illustrated by Jerome Opena.

Final warning. Here goes.

First Look at Marvel NOW! Avengers #1

Come December this year and spinning right off Avengers Vs X-Men, Earth's Mightiest Heroes will be reformatted and debuting with an all new line up, as Marvel gears up for their Marvel NOW! comic initiative and having Jonathan Hickman and Jerome Opena taking the reigns for the all-new Avengers! From the covers to issues 1-3 by artist Dustin Weaver, we see the team comprised of old and new faces, including Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Huly, The Falcon, Wolverine, Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, Captain Marvel, Cannonball, Sunspot, and another individual behind the former Ms. Marvel. These are just 14 of the 18 confirmed to be part of the New (NEW) Avengers, so one has to wonder who'll be the others named for this powerhouse assembly of X-men and Avengers combined into one! More info, as well as details, can be read up at the source post at Marvel.com and Bleeding Cool!
