Earth’s mightiest heroes just got a powerful new recruit! Following the explosive debut of Sam Humphries and Ton Lima’s New Avengers #1, which saw the Winter Soldier and Black Widow team up with Wolverine (Laura Kinney) and Namor to face off against twisted clones of the original Illuminati, things are about to get even stranger.
In the highly anticipated New Avengers #2, the Sorcerer Supreme of the Dark Dimension, Clea Strange, officially joins the ranks! Get ready for an intense ride as the preview for the upcoming issue kicks off with Bucky Barnes caught in the clutches of the sinister Reed Richards duplicate. As his teammates fight to free him, the New Avengers quickly realize these aren’t just random clones—they’re twisted versions of the original Illuminati.
And the action doesn’t stop there! The cover for New Avengers #4, by Stephen Segovia, is a fantastic homage to the iconic New Avengers: Illuminati (2006) #1 cover, but with a dark twist: the original Illuminati have been replaced by their malevolent doppelgängers. The team will face “double trouble” as the “Killuminati” turn one of the New Avengers against them! Namor will struggle against the control of his dark duplicate, unleashing an onslaught that the team will have to survive, all while a diabolical Reed Richards duplicate sets his twisted plan in motion.
Pick up New Avengers #2 on July 16 and be sure to pre-order issue #4 at your local comic shop.
