Marvel's Secret War and New Avengers Get New Printings
The Brian Michael Bendis blockbusters will receive new printings in early 2025.
In 2004, Brian Michael Bendis diassembled the Avengers. Earth's mightiest heroes — Captain America, Iron Man, the Wasp, Yellowjacket, Hawkeye, Falcon, Captain Britain, Ant-Man, and the Scarlet Witch — officially disbanded after an attack from Wanda Maximoff's reality-altering chaos magic. The five-part Avengers Disassembled arc would ultimately lead to Marvel relaunching Avengers as New Avengers, with street-level heroes like Spider-Man, Luke Cage, Spider-Woman, and Wolverine joining the team's ranks.
The status quo shakeup happened after Bendis brought together a secret team under S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury — Captain America, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Luke Cage, Daredevil, and Black Widow — to overthrow the Latverian government in Secret War. (Not to be confused with Jonathan Hickman's multiverse epic Secret Wars.)
Marvel will commemorate the 20th anniversaries of both Bendis-penned storylines with two omnibus collections slated for release in 2025. Vol. 1 of the New Avengers omnibus, which has long been out of print, will receive a new printing in January. The 1208-page omnibus collects Avengers Disassembled and the Avengers Finale, plus the first 31st issues of New Avengers — featuring the first appearances of such characters as Sentry and Ronin — and tie-ins with Civil War.
Secret War omnibus, set for release in April, collects the complete storyline with art by Gabriele Dell'Otto, the "Secret War" tie-in issues of The Pulse, and the database-style one-shot Secret War: From the Files of Nick Fury. You can see the cover artwork and details below.
