Comic Book fans everywhere rejoice! Marvel will be releasing an ‘Avengers’ comic book box set ahead of the untitled ‘Avengers 4’ film, which will be releasing in May of 2019. Superhero movies in the past have released prefix comics and Star Wars released a whole series explaining the in-between times between their movies, but this box set will be unlike anything we’ve ever seen.
April’s Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Box Set Slipcase will gather 11 collected editions across the 50-plus years of the franchise’s history, from the very first-ever Avengers comics by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby to the opening six issues of the current volume of the series. Altogether, the slipcase collection includes some of the most iconic — and most popular — stories from the property, with creators represented including Steve Englehart, Kurt Busiek, George Perez, John Buscema, Roger Stern, Brian Michael Bendis and more.
The full list of comics:
Avengers by Lee & Kirby (#1-16 of the original run)
Avengers: The Kree/Skrull War (#89-97)
Avengers/Defenders War (#115-118, as well as Defenders #8-11)

Avengers: The Korvac Saga (#167-168, 170-177 and Thor Annual #6)

Avengers Forever (all 12 issues of the series of the same name)
Avengers: Disassembled (#500-503 and the Avengers Finale special issue)
Avengers: The Final Host (#1-6 of the current series, along with material from this year’s Free Comic Book Day 2018: Avengers/Captain America issue).
The sequel to Infinity War was initially supposed to be a part 2 to the initial installment but since then the Russo Brothers have decided to change the title and have not announced anything other than some hints at what the sequel may be called. Maybe the comic books will have some sort of hint about how ‘the snap’ repercussions will be made.
