AVENGERS: NO SURRENDER!
A 16 week Avengers cross-over event will be dropping this January that sees The AVENGERS, UNCANNY AVENGERS and U.S. AVENGERS team up to take on one of the biggest threats to the Marvel Universe ever!
A 16 week Avengers cross-over event will be dropping this January that sees The AVENGERS, UNCANNY AVENGERS and U.S. AVENGERS team up to take on one of the biggest threats to the Marvel Universe ever!
Check out the press release from Marvel and let us know what you think in the comments below!
New York, NY—September 28, 2017—It’s the end of an Avengers Era as we know it! And in the team’s final days, a change has come to the Marvel Universe in the form of a story that’s filled with so much action and so much drama, Marvel had no choice but to make it a weekly epic!
Beginning this January, Marvel will unleash the epic AVENGERS: NO SURRENDER with AVENGERS #675, a weekly saga that unites the casts and creative teams of three titles into an epic tale of heroic action, jaw-dropping cliffhangers, and drastic adventures! The AVENGERS, UNCANNY AVENGERS and U.S. AVENGERS come together in a powerhouse of an event that will be unleashed in a story as spectacular and epic as the Marvel Universe itself.
Featuring one of Marvel’s biggest collaborations to date, each issue will be co-written by superstar writers Mark Waid, Al Ewing and Jim Zub with art by Pepe Larraz for the first month, Kim Jacinto for the second month, and Paco Medina for the third month. With shocking returns and brand new characters, NO SURRENDER is a book where every character will get their moment…where alliances will be forged…and where the earth will be forever changed!
“The Earth has been stolen! That’s the kickoff to the wildest AVENGERS epic ever put to paper, a widescreen adventure with a massive cast and an unlimited budget,” teased SVP and Executive Editor Tom Brevoort. “Avengers past and present will be called upon to cope with a threat spanning out of the pages of MARVEL LEGACY #1. And like that oversized special, there’s a huge character return or two along the way that fans have been asking for—and one that they didn’t even know they wanted!”
From Falcon to Black Panther to the mysterious Voyager, NO SURRENDER will see an appearance from every current Avenger – those we know and love and those we’ve never heard of. But what happens when Lethal Legion and the Black Order battle their way across the Earth? Most importantly, how will this new incarnation of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes come together to fight one of the biggest threats the world has ever seen? This is just the beginning, but there’s so much more to come.
Don’t miss a truly inclusive celebration of the legacy that is Marvel’s Avengers, when NO SURRENDER hits comic shops this January!

Thor: Ragnarok | Character Posters
Marvel Studios looks to breath new life into the Thor franchise with the upcoming film Thor: Ragnarok! Director Taika Waititi has seemingly struck a new tone and introduced a wonderfully vibrant colour pallet, giving us an exciting new direction for the franchise.
Marvel Studios looks to breath new life into the Thor franchise with the upcoming film Thor: Ragnarok! Director Taika Waititi has seemingly struck a new tone and introduced a wonderfully vibrant colour pallet, giving us an exciting new direction for the franchise. The new tone appears to mirror that of the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, which may pave the way for Thor to seamlessly transition into fighting alongside the GotG in Avenger: Infinity War.
This has been one of my most anticipated films of 2017, and every trailer and promotional piece has continued to raise my expectations!
Alongside the news that advance tickets are now on sale at https://www.cineplex.com/, Marvel revealed seven new Thor: Ragnarok character posters, depicting all of the main cast!

With the return of Legacy numbering for Marvel's latest relaunch, they have release guides for new, returning, and long time readers to help understand where the newest titles will land in the numbering sequence.
For all of the released Legacy renumbering charts click HERE.
We discussed the return to the Legacy numbering in Episode #82 of The Nerd Room and although praising it, we did voice concerns about the effect of renumbering on new readers.
Head to 48:49 in the podcast player below for our discussion.
The guides do help bridge the number gap but will it detour new readers from jumping into a book? Let us know in the comments below!
