New York, NY— August 27, 2024 — West Coast is the best coast! This November, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes reopen operations in sunny California in a new run of WEST COAST AVENGERS by writer Gerry Duggan and artist Danny Kim! Launching just in time for the iconic title’s 40th anniversary, WEST COAST AVENGERS will feature a stacked lineup of A-List heroes including Iron Man, War Machine, Spider-Woman, Firestar, and a mysteriously redeemed Ultron! Today, fans can check out an all-new cover for the debut issue by best-selling cover artist, Stanley “Artgerm” Lau. Also available as a virgin variant cover, Artgerm’s latest piece spotlights Firestar who makes her grand return to the Avengers following her buzzworthy stint on the X-Men.
ULTRON RETURNS…REDEEMED? Iron Man and War Machine have put together a new team of Avengers – one that includes villains seeking a path to redemption. Their case study? Ultron – who, against all odds, seems to be walking the straight and narrow…for now. But does the success of one guarantee the success of all? Spider-Woman and Firestar have their doubts. And can any amount of heroics really absolve Ultron of his past?
“Redemption has been on my mind this year, and we’ll see who can be redeemed on the West Coast,” Duggan teased. “It’s a fun action story, but it’s also an Ultron tale – and one of my biggest Marvel swings yet. I previously had the pleasure of writing a pretty great horror story about Ultron wearing Pym’s face, and this is a very different tale with one of my favorite Marvel characters, in one of my favorite legacy titles in the city that has been my home for so long. Wait until you see what Danny Kim is cooking up. Find redemption in November in the city of Angels.”
