Comic fans, this one’s a big moment. A legendary hero has crossed into the Marvel Universe, and he’s about to suit up with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Here’s everything you need to know before Avengers #1 lands.

The Story So Far

Miracleman’s Marvel debut happened in Avengers: Armageddon #4. There, David Colton, the former Captain America from Zdarsky’s recent Captain America run, inherited Miracleman’s legacy and extraordinary power in the middle of a fight with Red Hulk.

Now, in the aftermath, the world has turned its back on the Avengers. But a demonic invasion changes everything, and the heroes must save a public that no longer trusts them. The twist? Colton’s unpredictable nature means the team may not be able to trust the newest member with his godlike abilities.

The Variant Covers Collectors Want

Marvel has revealed a lineup of covers, and there’s plenty to chase:

Main cover: Checchetto’s artwork features Miracleman alongside the team.
Open-to-order variants: Artgerm, Skottie Young, Jim Cheung and Julian Totino Tedesco.
Wraparound cover: Kaare Andrews’ design now includes Miracleman.
Blind Bag exclusives: Only in True Believers Blind Bags, including a new piece by Alan Davis, long associated with Miracleman.
Display Box exclusive: Mark Spears’ variant, found only in True Believers Display Boxes.

Each Display Box holds 20 copies: one Spears variant in a polybag plus 19 Blind Bags. Blind Bags contain only exclusive covers, so the main cover and regular variants won’t turn up inside. Marvel also teased super rare surprise covers, including hand-drawn sketch covers.

Should You Pre-Order?

If you want a specific variant, yes, especially the exclusives. Your local comic shop can reserve copies, and print copies come with a code for a digital version on Marvel Unlimited. Want more superhero news and entertainment coverage? Keep an eye on Techno Sports for the latest updates.
