"World War She-Hulk" rolls on, SEA OF STARS comes to a close and it's a big month for new collections of my work.
As I wrote about the other day when AVENGERS #46 was released, "World War She-Hulk" is a pivotal story, not just for the Avengers, but for the next year's worth of Marvel stories by me, across multiple titles. A run of stories that will ultimately connect back to most every major series I've ever written during my 15 years at Marvel Comics. while also introducing a lot of new ideas I'm super excited about.
So if you want a checklist for what to look out for along the way, it starts with "World War She-Hulk," then comes the AVENGERS Free Comic Book Day issue in August, the epically over-sized AVENGERS #50/750 in November, and then... well, we'll have to hold off for a bit more before talking about everything that'll be coming your way after that.
