This January, AVENGERS #34, part of superstar writer Jed MacKay and acclaimed artist Farid Karami’s current hit run, will mark the 800th issue of the AVENGERS ongoing series. To celebrate this mighty milestone, the issue will be a giant-sized spectacular with special backup stories by legendary past creators. AVENGERS #34 will also mark a critical turning point in MacKay’s era on the title as various overarching plot threads, including Kang and Myrddin’s battle across space and time, the secrets of the Impossible City, and more collide in epic fashion!
Everything has been building toward this: MYRDDIN’s ENDGAME! As Kang stands revealed at the precipice of a NEW UNIVERSE, this powerhouse team of AVENGERS assemble for the final challenge they’ve been bracing themselves for!
“AVENGERS #800 is a milestone for both the title and our story, as we enter the grand finale of the story we’ve been telling for the last few years!” MacKay explained. “It’s been fantastic to be a part of such a big anniversary issue, and to have contributed to the history of the Avengers!”
AVENGERS #34 will feature a stunning wraparound cover by best-selling artist Russell Dauterman that assembles heroes from throughout Avengers’ history. The epic connecting cover will be spread across three issues, running through March’s AVENGERS #36.
On his wild connecting cover, Dauterman shared, “I jumped at the chance to draw these covers –– I’m honored to be involved with this Marvel milestone! Editor Wil Moss referenced Jim Lee’s X-Men team lineups as inspiration –– I ran with that, looking to the awesome 1992 trading cards and also to the awesome art of George Pérez. I love the Avengers team pieces that George did over the years, and was excited for the opportunity to do my own.”
