On taking the reins of Marvel’s flagship super hero team, Zdarsky said, "It's obviously a massive honor getting to write the world's greatest super hero team! And after what happens in Avengers: Armageddon, this lineup is angry as hell and ready to avenge."
"Avengers is a book that should lead the Marvel Universe, where big things happen and surprises keep hitting," he explained. "That's what Marco and I are doing with every issue and I can’t wait for people to fall in love with these gorgeous pages."
On reuniting with Zdarsky, Checchetto said, "Here we go again. Chip and I, assembled. We had a blast on Daredevil (2019), and since wrapping up Ultimate Spider-Man (2024), I’m thrilled there was an opportunity to do something new with him. It’s in moments like these where Chip's utter madness comes through, and the result is right before your eyes."
"I love this team," he continued. "It's going to be great to see these characters interact with one another and see how they untangle themselves from the situations we’re going to throw them into."
"It's amazing to be working with Marco again," Zdarsky added. "Time and time again he proves he’s the best at giving us the coolest possible versions of these characters and what he’s doing in this book is next level."
Teasing the new run, Editor Wil Moss said, "Chip and Marco have come up with such an exciting direction for this new volume of Avengers, striking just the right balance of quality AND spectacle, of pitch-perfect characterization AND shocking takes, of a sense of legacy AND a true trailblazing spirit. Chip and Marco's Avengers is going to be the heart of the Marvel Universe going forward—trust me, you won’t want to miss a beat. Just wait till you learn the full roster…"
