Writer Jed MacKay leaving Marvel’s Avengers with issue #36; Armageddon to follow

They presented Marvel’s…
Kang gets drunk in our EXCLUSIVE preview of Marvel’s Avengers #31
Your A-list, top-tier Marvel supervillains are probably insufferable to drink with. Always bemoaning their latest defeat, which they won’t call a defeat. No self-reflection.

Avengers #17 has the Avengers saying, “it’s Storm, I know her!”
Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. A tagline long attributed to the gathered heroes known as the Avengers (one they might have given themselves, who can say).
