A new Avengers book is in the works from Marvel Comics. This week, the House of Ideas introduced the U.S.Avengers. This new group of superheroes is has been started after S.H.I.E.L.D. can no longer be trusted, and the United States now has a new group with its best interests at heart.
In the story, the billionaire playboy Roberto Da Costa has formed a new benevolent A.I.M. – American Intelligence Mechanics. This new group is endorsed by the federal government and positioned to replace SHIELD. AIM exists to protect the US from outlandish threats and to save the world and have fun doing it.
Speaking to the Washington Post on the series, Al Ewing stated: “He came to America in his teens, and, as both an actual and fictional minority, a South American mutant, he’s experienced the ugly side of it. But he’s seen the best of America, too. He has an absolute love for his adopted country, and he’ll fight to the end to save lives and help people.”
The team consists of the new Iron Patriot, Thunderbolt Ross aka Red Hulk, Cannonball, Squirrel Girl and more. The U.S.Avengers will dare any danger to defend freedom, democracy and apple pie.
Series editor Tom Brevoort added on the book, “U.S.Avengers will be a bold, brawny book that will distill everything that you love about and everything that you fear about this great land of ours into twenty pages of high-octane patriotic action every issue.”
The book will be written by Al Ewing, with art by Paco Medina. Here’s some sample artwork from Marvel:
