Broken Frontier

Who are they? Where did they come from? Where are they going? Questions answered in YOUNG AVENGERS #1, on sale 2/9/2005!

As indicated by comics retailers, fans are starving for information on Marvel’s YOUNG AVENGERS team…with good reason. Marvel has been careful not to release too much information on the book, as the twists and turns absolutely deserve to be protected.

Said Senior Editor Tom Brevoort, "As folks will soon see, YOUNG AVENGERS is chock full of mystery. Each of these kids carries a secret in his past, a secret that connects in some way to the glorious history of the Avengers. Readers will learn one of these secrets at the end of issue #1, which will plunge the team into its first epic adventure…and each issue thereafter will unveil further information as to who these kids are and what they're about -- it should make for a satisfying ride for Marvel fans old and new."

A monthly ongoing title, YOUNG AVENGERS teams Marvel Young Gun Jim Cheung with TV superstar writer Allan Heinberg (The O.C., Sex and the City, and Party of Five) -- Marvel EIC Joe Quesada can’t wait for fans to read the book, “…too soon to talk about, but I think that fans will see on the very last page of issue #1, how the entire Marvel Universe will end up somehow revolving around the events that happen in YOUNG AVENGERS.  I can say no more lest I find Nick Fury waiting for me in a dark alley.”

Fans can now view the first eight pages of YOUNG AVENGERS #1 on Marvel’s official site at http://www.marvel.com/company/showarticle.htm?id=56

…and retailers have until Thursday, January 20th to place guaranteed orders, with the book going on sale Wednesday, February 9th!
