Marvel Comics announced the teaming of Iron Man, Spider-Woman, Firestar, War Machine, and Ultron(!?) as the new West Coast Avengers.
The new ongoing series is written by Gerry Duggan with art by Danni Kim.
ULTRON RETURNS…REDEEMED? Iron Man and War Machine have put together a new team of Avengers – one that includes villains seeking a path to redemption. Their case study? Ultron – who, against all odds, seems to be walking the straight and narrow…for now. But does the success of one guarantee the success of all? Spider-Woman and Firestar have their doubts. And can any amount of heroics really absolve Ultron of his past?
“Redemption has been on my mind this year, and we’ll see who can be redeemed on the West Coast,” Duggan said in a press release from Marvel Comics. “It’s a fun action story, but it’s also an Ultron tale – and one of my biggest Marvel swings yet. I previously had the pleasure of writing a pretty great horror story about Ultron wearing Pym’s face, and this is a very different tale with one of my favorite Marvel characters, in one of my favorite legacy titles in the city that has been my home for so long. Wait until you see what Danny Kim is cooking up. Find redemption in November in the city of Angels.”
West Coast Avengers #1 arrives on November 27, 2024.
