The headline seems a bit scary and intense, but that is what Marvel Comics is hoping to evoke as Jed MacKay and C.F. Villa bring a new threat to the Avengers.
Meet the ASHEN COMBINE!

- IDOL ALABASTER, a living godhead that you’ll worship whether you like it or not.
- CITYSMITH, an insane artist that twists cities like clay.

The Avengers fly into action as this collection of the multiverse’s greatest monsters descends from the Impossible City to follow their respective appetites. Cityslayers all, these super nihilists pursue the assassination of metropolitan areas for sport! Each member ravages populations in their own terrifying way and their unique methods of destruction will make them a formidable match against even the powerful roster of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes that assemble in this new run of AVENGERS! As the battlezones are declared, the Avengers scatter to defend Earth. Who will be pitted against who?
The Ashen Combine will appear in Avengers #3, but their story begins in Avengers #1 which arrives on May 17th.
