Marvel’s prehistoric Avengers will star in a one-shot, Avengers 1,000,000 B.C., that releases in July and will dive into Thor’s origin story.
Marvel’s Avengers 1,000,000 B.C. #1, a new one-shot releasing this summer, promises new revelations behind the origins of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
Avengers: 1,000,000 B.C. #1 comes from writer Jason Aaron and artist Kev Walker, with cover art by Ed McGuinness and variant cover art by Alex Horley. The issue, which releases in July, is set in the earliest days of the Marvel Universe and features the Avengers: 1,000,000 B.C. team that Aaron introduced in his Avengers run. The synopsis reads, “They are the defenders of the dawn of time. Marvel’s first and mightiest legacy heroes. But their greatest secrets have never been revealed. Until now. Witness the dark events that shatter their ranks. See how their lives come to shape the entire future of the Marvel Universe. And be there for the monumental event that reunites them one last time: the true story of Thor’s birth.”
Avengers: 1,000,000 B.C. will dive further into the Asgardian God of Thunder’s connection to the Phoenix Force, as teased in a poster that Marvel initially released. In 2021’s Avengers #43 — by Aaron, Javier Garrón, David Curiel and VC’s Cory Petit — Thor leans that Lady Phoenix, who was a part of the Avengers 1,000,000 B.C. team, is actually his mother. Prior to the revelation, Thor believed Gaea, the Goddess of the Earth, gave birth to him before he was adopted by Freyja ‘Frigga’ Freyrdottir. Other members of the prehistoric Avengers team include Odin, Ghost Rider, Iron Fist, Agamotto, Black Panther and Starbrand.
The upcoming one-shot will also play into a major upcoming Avengers storyline Marvel is planning for later this year. “The Prehistoric Avengers have been an important key to my AVENGERS run since the very beginning,” Aaron said. “They are the earliest versions of some of the earth’s most powerful legacy characters. They’re the heroes who protect Marvel Universe in its crib. And now we finally get to see them all in the spotlight in a huge way. In a story that shows how these prehistoric heroes shaped Marvel history in the most profound ways and that will also have big ramifications for the Avengers going forward.”
“When I first got the script for this, I was expecting a 30 page prehistoric smack down,” Walker added. “But Jason’s script was so much more than that and I’ve really had to work hard to do some of these scenes justice.”
Avengers: 1,000,000 B.C. #1 comes from Aaron, Walker, McGuinness and Horley. The one-shot goes on sale July 13 from Marvel.
