Writer Jason Aaron's Avengers swan song has begun in the pages of Avengers Assemble, the multi-part crossover between the pages of Avengers proper and the multiversal Avengers Forever.

Since his run began on the core Avengers titles and its spin-offs in 2018, Aaron spoke of a multi-year roadmap for Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and now that roadmap is speeding toward its final destination, which kicked off last month with a one-shot titled Avengers Assemble Alpha drawn by Bryan Hitch.

The story continued in December 7's Avengers #63 in 'Avengers Assemble' chapter 2 with art by Javier Garrón that featured the present-day Avengers teaming up with the 1,000,000 BC Avengers.

That will be followed by chapter 3 'The Siege of Infinity Tower' in December 21's Avengers Forever #12 with art by Aaron Kuder, as the mysterious (maybe) Avenger Prime gathers the "greatest Avengers army ever assembled" (which is a multiversal army of Captain Americas) to take on a horde of variant Mephistos.

Here's a preview of the battle...

I'm not just the Newsarama founder and editor-in-chief, I'm also a reader. And that reference is just a little bit older than the beginning of my Newsarama journey. I founded what would become the comic book news site in 1996, and except for a brief sojourn at Marvel Comics as its marketing and communications manager in 2003, I've been writing about new comic book titles, creative changes, and occasionally offering my perspective on important industry events and developments for the 25 years since. Despite many changes to Newsarama, my passion for the medium of comic books and the characters makes the last quarter-century (it's crazy to see that in writing) time spent doing what I love most.
