“SWAY” SWABY Meet the mightiest heroes of a very different Earth as we celebrate the legacy of the House of Ideas with MARVEL TALES! This anthology series shines a spotlight on fan-favorite characters, features timeless stories and highlights some of Marvel’s most impressive talent from the past eight decades. When the Avengers come face-to-face with Hyperion, Nighthawk, Doctor Spectrum and the Whizzer in AVENGERS (1963) #69-70 by the legendary Roy Thomas and Sal Buscema, this powerful quartet is actually the villainous Squadron Sinister — deadly pawns in a cosmic game! But then, with John Buscema joining the fun in AVENGERS (1963) #85-86, the Avengers find themselves in the world of the real, heroic Squadron Supreme — all eight of ’em! Can these two rival super teams stop trading blows long enough to thwart the mad schemes that flow from the massive mind of Brain-Child? Collecting AVENGERS (1963) #69-70 and #85-86.

SQUADRON SUPREME TPB ROSS COVER (NEW PRINTING)

Written by MARK GRUENWALD
Penciled by BOB HALL, PAUL RYAN, JOHN BUSCEMA & PAUL NEARY
Covers by ALEX ROSS & TBA

Another Earth’s mightiest heroes! On a world much like our own, that planet’s greatest superhuman champions are confronted by a society in ruins. Faced with the possibility of a new dark age for mankind, they choose the only course available to them — and take control of the world’s governments themselves! Now they have one year in which to completely restructure human society. Can their plan succeed? Will a renegade member bring about their downfall? And what will happen when this Earth’s mightiest heroes find themselves becoming its all-powerful, totalitarian overlords instead? Before Watchmen, before MARVELS, before Kingdom Come — there was Squadron Supreme, a deconstructionist parable of the super hero paradigm in a real-world setting considered by many to be the late Mark Gruenwald’s finest work.
