Avengers Assemble: A Rundown of the 'No Road Home' Team

Last year, Mark Waid, Al Ewing, and Jim Zub joined forces with a superstar lineup of artists for AVENGERS: NO SURRENDER, a weekly storyline that ended one era for the team and paved the way for the current AVENGERS series. However, there are still some loose ends from NO SURRENDER, and the writers of that story are coming back for its spiritual sequel, AVENGERS: NO ROAD HOME.

Paco Medina will illustrate AVENGERS: NO ROAD HOME #1, which is available now. Voyager, the heroine introduced in NO SURRENDER, will play a vital role in the ten-part weekly story that will unfold in NO ROAD HOME. She’s the one who will assemble a team of classic Avengers, plus one new addition, to face a threat that could engulf the entire universe in darkness. Whatever happens next, it’s up to these heroes to save the day.

'Avengers: Endgame' Gets VHS Promo Art

By Jamie Jirak - February 23, 2019

2019 is bringing us three highly-anticipated Marvel Cinematic Universe films, and the wait is clearly making fans anxious. In order to kill time, many MCU lovers have created fun fan art in honor of the upcoming films.

A recent post to the r/marvelstudios subreddit, a place “dedicated to discussing Marvel Studios, the films and television shows, and anything else related to the MCU,” shows what a vintage VHS cover would look like for Avengers: Endgame. Created by u/GuitaristHeimerz, this art will surely take you back to the good old days of video tapes.

“Seen a lot of fictional VHS posters for the Guardians of the Galaxy, decided to make an early one for Endgame in hopes to get you guys more pumped up,” they wrote.

As you can see, the front cover shows off all of the Avengers that we know to be a prominent part of the film (otherwise known as the folks who didn’t get dusted in The Decimation in Avengers: Infinity War). The back even has Captain Marvel zooming in to the rescue!

“After the devastating events of Avengers: Infinity, the universe is in ruins. With the help of remaining allies, the Avengers assemble once more in order to undo Thanos’ actions and restore order to the universe,” the back reads. It even has a price tag of a whopping $9.99.

Many fans were quick to comment on the post and praise the Reddit user for their work.

“Dude that fist on the back. THE DEFINITIVE ART FOR THE GAUNTLET,” u/PineappleTargaryen wrote.

“I can feel that old cracked plastic,” u/INomadI added.

According to a comment made by the original poster, this comes after more than a decade of experience working in Photoshop.

Avengers: Endgame is being released in just a couple of months and fans are beyond eager to find out what’s in store for the remaining heroes. This is especially true considering the trailer has left fans with more questions than answers.

Avengers: Endgame hits theaters on April 26th. Other upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe films include Captain Marvel on March 8th and Spider-Man: Far From Home on July 5th.

Heartbreaking new Avengers: Endgame theory knows how we will say goodbye to Captain America

A new Avengers: Endgame theory has come knocking on our door and it will surely make the biggest Marvel fans weep like babies. The theory tries to explain what is the Avengers’ real plan and also includes a cold, sad idea at its core—that Captain America’s friends will watch him die.

Reddit user u/webdevnoobs has shared a theory in which he says that Tony, Ant-Man, Steve and others will go back in time not to collect the Infinity Stone as everyone is expecting but their energy signatures. They go to Xandar, where Thanos finds the first Infinity Stone before the events of Avengers: Infinity War. There, they put up a good fight against the purple giant but Captain America doesn’t survive it. Tony and the others watch him die but escape the planet with a heavy heart.

This could explain how Thanos says he knows Tony and the burden of knowledge when they meet on Titan in Infinity War. This could also mean how he is a little taken aback on seeing Captain America in Wakanda when he had already killed him a couple of days ago. Check out the full theory here:

Endgame has been described like a heist movie and highlights the relationship between Tony Stark and Steve Rogers. In addition, there are suggestions that time travel has already occurred in Infinity War. So let’s go for a ride.

Ant-man, Stark, and crew go on a time travelling adventure not to collect the stones before Thanos, but to collect their energy signatures. Leaving the stones in place does not alter the timeline, and allows the remaining Avengers with a weapon to nullify the stones’ power when Thanos uses them. Tony may build a Stark gauntlet, but full of the collected energies from the stones. This gauntlet will allow them to take the real stones from Thanos in a fight. This is actually similar to the plot of the Avengers Assemble cartoon when they fight Thanos. Here they get Thanos to use stones one at a time while Tony collects the energy signature.

Also, the remaining Avengers encounter Thanos on Xandar while collecting the energy signature from the Power stone. Here Thanos meets Iron Man and Captain America. However, Captain America is killed on Xandar while Tony escapes. This is how Thanos already knows Cap and Tony. Thanos calls out that he knows Tony on Titan. And Thanos seems to hesitate when fighting Cap in Wakanda. Thanos stalls a bit when Cap tries to punch him, not because of knowing him via the Soul stone, but because Thanos already killed him. It was disbelief that caused the hesitation. And he probably killed him in the exact same way.

Boom! Mind blown!

Chris Evans has already been hinting at his exit from the Marvel Universe on social media. This theory might just substantiate those rumours further.

Do you think this theory hold any weight? We will know it when Avengers: Endgame releases on April 26.
