Just announced on Marvel.com, I’m writing EMPYRE: AVENGERS, a special tie-in series to Marvel’s big Empyre event happening this summer.
“Empyre is all about an intergalactic threat targeting Earth, battling our heroes on multiple fronts, putting them on the defensive while the world hangs in the balance. EMPYRE: AVENGERS showcases three important conflicts with an eclectic group of Avengers, some who we haven’t seen as part of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in quite a while. Some of these Avengers are ones I’ve written in the past (on UNCANNY AVENGERS or AVENGERS: NO SURRENDER) while others are characters I’ve been itching to write for years.”
“I don’t want to tip my hand too much, but I can also say that the Savage Land is one of the main locations for this tie-in and that brings Ka-Zar and Shanna the She-Devil into the mix as well. Jungle action, heroic reunions, and big surprises. That’s what EMPYRE: AVENGERS is all about.”
Ok, so does this mean Ka-Zar will be leaving the Agents of Wakanda for a while to deal with this menace? Will he be returning to the Savage Land permanently? So many questions…
The Agents of Wakanda serve as the espionage/special missions arm of the Avengers and this is an Avengers-related mission, so it all ties together. Read on and you’ll see.
Thanks, Jim, I look forward to it!
