Paul Levitz was a DC Comics lifer it seemed, until Warner Bros. thought otherwise. Now he sits on the board of Boom Studios and is, from all accounts very active. But now he is to do something he has never done before, write a comic book for Marvel Comics. And he is reunited with an artist Alan Davis on a new Avengers mini-series, to be published in January 2023.

But this isn't Paul Levitz's first published Marvel Comics project. As he states on Facebook, as long as you are willing to "count a published fan letter that won me my No-Prize." And we are Paul, we really are. Maybe it could be reprinted in this comic? Apparently this project has been postponed a fair few times. Pandemics have the habit of doing that. Here's the PR…

This January, journey back to the early days of Earth's Mightiest Heroes with two of comics' mightiest creators in AVENGERS: WAR ACROSS TIME!

Joined by fellow superstar Alan Davis, Eisner Hall of Famer Paul Levitz—known for his storied career at DC Comics—writes his first-ever Marvel Comics story in this five-issue limited series! Set during Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Don Heck's original groundbreaking run of AVENGERS (1963), this extraordinary saga will be a love letter to Avengers history just in time for the team's 60th anniversary!

AVENGERS: WAR ACROSS TIME will see the original Avengers at their very best as they battle an onslaught of powerful and strange new threats that strike at the very heart of the team. At the center of it all will be Kang the Conqueror, reaching back from the furthest reaches of time to destroy the Avengers legacy!

Thor! Iron Man! Captain America! Giant-Man and the Wasp! It's the classic Avengers against the Hulk on the streets of New York, and the beginning of a showdown with Kang the Conqueror that will span the centuries!

"I learned much of my writing craft from THE AVENGERS, and it's been a delight to pay homage to my old friends Stan, Jack and Don by trying to do something that might have been an extended issue #11.1," Levitz explained. "We've been cooking this up for a long time, and I hope readers have as much fun with it as I did."
