Time’s up for the Avengers and New Avengers this September

So, you know how some big time-ripping, dimension-shattering event has been being teased for ages in the Marvel Universe? Well, it’s here.

This September, leap into tomorrow as the Marvel Universe fast forwards 8 months in AVENGERS #35 and NEW AVENGERS #24! All-Star artists Jim Cheung & Mike Deodato join New York Times Bestselling writer Jonathan Hickman for two oversized issues taking readers to the battle-worn Marvel Universe oftomorrow. But how could this all happen?

The Incursions by parallel Earths from other dimensions have increased in number! To save both universes, each time one Earth must be destroyed! Up until now, the Illuminati has dealt with this problem in secret! But 8 months from now, who is left to shoulder this burden—and is the entirety of the Marvel Universe itself doomed?

“After the cataclysmic events of the Avengers Original Sin tie-in, and the revelation as to what the Illuminati has been up to all this time, we jump the storyline ahead 8 months in both AVENGERS #35 and NEW AVENGERS #24 – to the moment that time runs out for everybody!” said Executive Editor Tom Brevoort, in an exclusive interview with Marvel.com. “So in addition to setting the table for the astonishing climax of Jonathan Hickman’s run, we’ll also be providing a glimpse into the immediate future of many of our characters, and what changes await them over the next 8 months of publishing. This isn’t some maybe-future, this is the real deal, what’s awaiting the Marvel Universe in the coming year.”

As these two epic issues jump forward into the future, what has become of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes? With the war between the Avengers and the Illuminati at its peak, who will be left to fend off the Final Incursion? Who are the new Cabal? And…what is coming in May 2015? The clock is ticking and your questions will be answered this September inAVENGERS #35 and NEW AVENGERS #24!

This September…TIME RUNS OUT!

Now this is gonna be big. With not only the mysterious event coming for September on the table, but also something happening in 2015 that Marvel is teasing at already here in June 2014, something tells me that this is going to be one that you’ll want to pay attention to.

It’s been hinted at for a long, long time that something was coming that would reshape the Marvel Universe and with a revelation here and a suggestion there, fans have come up with all manner of thoughts on the subject. As a long time Marvel fan who’s seen one of the greatest superhero universe’s tangle and become muddled with all manner of complex change over the last 15 years or so, I personally cannot wait to see what’s about to happen.

My thought is that it’s going to be some kind of reboot of sorts, to get the Marvel U back into a more iconic version of itself. How about you? Do you think the restart coming, or something else? You have a while to think on that since Avengers #35 and New Avengers #24 don’t hit the racks till September and that big, bad question mark isn’t due till May of next year.
