Marvel are following up Avengers V. X-Men with the simpler Avengers Vs.

I suppose with recent Avengers comics being Avengers Vs. X-Men, Avengers Vs. Other Avengers, Uncanny Avengers Vs Public Perception, Secret Avengers Vs. Marketing Concerns, it's good to have an Avengers title fighting against actual proper enemies. With a little nineties styling on the way. And a movie out.

Assemble! This April, Earth's Mightiest Heroes are doing battle against their deadliest foes for a quartet of can't miss tales AVENGERS VS! Packed to the gills with action, adventure and excitement – experience four unique stories of the Avengers going toe-to-toe with four of their all-time greatest adversaries!

Writer Joe Caramagna brings you four interconnected, yet standalone stories showcasing the Avengers doing what they do best: saving the world and stopping the bad guys! Loki leading a Frost Giant raid on Asgard? Attuma and a group of Atlanteans sinking an tanker in the Arctic Ocean? M.O.D.O.K. and AIM building a doomsday device? Red Skull wreaking havoc on the streets of New York City? No matter, the Avengers stand ready to heed the call! Avengers Assemble!

"AVENGERS VS is a collection of stories starring a cast of classic Avengers told in a classic Avengers style," exclaimed writer Joe Caramagna in an interview with Marvel.com. "Whether you're a fan of Marvel comics, movies, or all of the above, there's something in AVENGERS VS for you! "

Debuting this April exclusively on digital platforms, all four Avengers VS stories will see print in May's AVENGERS VS #1 one-shot.

You wonder exactly at what stage Marvel Comics knew the Marvel Studios/Sony deal for Spider-Man was a lock. The Avengers: Millenium series for April having all the MCU Avengers in it, plus Spider-Man could be a sign. And so could the Amazing Spider-Man Special #1 for June, featuring Captain America and The Inhumans.

Or it could be, as ever, seeing confirmation patterns that just aren't there.

Anyway, it's coming from Jeff Loveness, writer for Jimmy Kimmel Live, as Marvel continue to burn through the late night chat show circuit in hunt of writers (and possibly publicity) and Luca Pizzari.

New Attilan is under siege! Something big wants to destroy the vulnerable refuge of the Inhumans. But with New Attilan smack in the middle of the Hudson River, the rest of Manhattan is in just as much danger. That doesn't sit well with the Amazing Spider-Man – and he's going to do something about it! But where does Sam Wilson, the all-new Captain America fit in? You didn't think we were going to tell you everything did you? Find out when the blockbuster 3-part story, Inhuman Error, kicks off this March in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN SPECIAL #1! Plus, don't miss parts 2 & 3 in the upcoming INHUMAN SPECIAL #1 and ALL-NEW CAPTAIN AMERICA SPECIAL!
