Free Comic Book Day sees the release of 51 different official Free Comic Book Day comic book titles, including an Avengers comic from Marvel Comics. Which contains, as we have mentioned before, a lead-in to upcoming isues of The Avengers, as well as a new team Savage Avengers. You can catch up with all our Free Comic Book Day coverage right here.

And so the comic gives us plemnty of details of what all the different Avengers teams are up to – pretty much anyone who takes claim to that name. But it also gives us something a littke cosmic. A look at a new space-faring Avengers. Clearly inspired by the looks of the Avengers in Avengers: Endgame, this comic too seems to take them out of their comfort zone and create some new identities in the process. Or brings back some old ones…

So that's a Thor infected and impregnated by a Brood, a Captain Marvel looking more like her cosmic identity of Binary, a normalised She-Hulk and Steve Rogers is… Captain Corsair? Corsair being the title previously held by Major Christopher Summers, Scott Summer's father in the Starjammers team. But here, with Captain America wearing the bandada and having some kind of tech-souped up shield…

And out on May the 4th, a couple of weeks after Avengers: Endgame… the contents of this comic were created at the end of last year, but you get an idea of where the Marvel Comics creative and editorial team thought the movie may be going, at least enough to play off it a little.
