AVENGERS: BACK TO BASICS
Marvel and comiXology have announced the next exclusive comiXology Originals digital comic series with Avengers: Back to Basics, a 6-issue bi-weekly series, written by Peter David with art by art by Brian Level on issues #1-2 and #5-6, Juanan Ramirez on issues #3-4, and covers by Nick Roche and Chris O'Halloran.
Avengers: Back to Basics launches March 7 for $2.99 on comiXology and Kindle.
New subscribers to comiXology Unlimited can also enjoy it for free as part of their 30-day free trial. Avengers: Back to Basics joins Black Panther: Long Live The King, The Immortal Iron Fists and Thor Vs. Hulk: Champions of the Universe.
Here's how the story is described:
"A solar eclipse is about to hit North America -- but this is no scientific phenomenon. The Avengers uncover that a new Darkness is coming, and with it, a terrible and ancient danger. Can Earth's Mightiest Heroes avert Ragnarok, or will its servants of death prove triumphant?"
SECRET WEAPONS: OWEN'S STORY #0
Valiant Entertainment has announced a March 14 release for Secret Weapons: Owen's Story #0, from the Secret Weapons creative team of writer Eric Heisserer and artist Raul Allen.
The standalone tale spotlights a day in the life of Owen Cho, one of Livewire's new recruits and quite possibly the Secret Weapons' most unique talent of all.
Here's how the story is described:
"Owen Cho is a conjurer, which can be a great deal more frustrating than it sounds. You see, Owen's psiot ability -- unlocked at great expense and even greater danger by Toyo Harada's Harbinger Foundation -- allows him to materialize objects out of thin air, but he can't control what to summon or when it might arrive. Worse yet, his gift has landed him in a heap of trouble over the years. Namely, it got him locked away in The Willows -- an off-the-grid facility for abstruse superhumans like himself -- before Livewire and her team of like-minded secret weapons gave him a path with purpose.
"But what do you do with a heap of undesirable objects summoned from parts unknown, anyway? Have a garage sale, of course! Discover the significance behind the otherwise ordinary trinkets, toys, and gadgets conjured by Owen;s otherworldly ability across a series of lavishly illustrated double-page spreads and short stories specific to each object that weave together to form one cohesive narrative."
Covers are by Allen, Sibylline Meynet, Sija Hong and Leif Jones.
