Looks like one of
Marvel's seemingly immortal figures will buy the big one this 2014... And it's up to the entire
Marvel Universe to find out who killed him!
Via
Marvel.com and USA Today, the new big event will be called "
Original Sin", and deals with the death of a being known to many as "
The Watcher". Written by
Jason Aaron and illustrated by
Mike Deodato Jr., this miniseries will see cosmic being and observer of realities known as Uatu The Watcher murdered on his home planet of the Moon, leading to Earth's heroes to find out who killed him and why. Led by none other than the original
Nick Fury of
Earth-616, heroes like
Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, and
Wolverine search for the murderer, while a separate group consisting of
The Punisher, Dr. Strange, Emma Frost, Black Panther, and
Ant-Man. Tie-ins and supplementary issues are expected to begin alongside the core miniseries this coming May, but a "zero issue" featuring
Nova and a re-introduction to Uatu will be released on April, written by
Mark Waid and art by
Jim Cheung.
With Uatu's death coming up, this will spell big ramifications on the Marvel Universe as we know it. After
Infinity and
Inhumanity, it's now a mystery that's itching to be solved and may lead to something even bigger down the line in the months ahead. For more information, visit the source post at
