Endgame

GROWING OUT OF editor Tom Brevoort’s idea for “a future-set Avengers tale”, Avengers: Twilight takes place three decades from now, in a prosperous America that doesn’t have any need for Earth’s Mightiest Heroes to exist – although things are apparently not what they seem.

“When Tom pitched it to me, I was excited right away as I really like telling stories that are a little outside of continuity,” writer Chip Zdarsky tells Red Alert. “Plus, I really like working with Tom, so it was a no-brainer. Being able to put new spins on so many classic characters was just too tempting.”

The six-parter centres on Steve Rogers, no longer Captain America, who is faced with either assembling his own team of heroes or leading a ragtag group of Defenders, whose ranks include the expert military marksman known as Bullseye.
