Wasp to Lead New Team in Marvel’s Avengers Inc.

Marvel announced a brand new Avengers series from legendary creatives Al Ewing and Leonard Kirk that is set to debut in September. Avengers Inc. will see Janet Van Dyne lead a new team faced with solving murders within the same universe as the current Avengers title. Marvel shared this tease about the book:

It kicks off with a deadly conspiracy rooted in the ghosts of the Avengers’ past that only founding Avenger Wasp can solve. But she won’t be alone as she finds a new partner in Victor Shade! This former alias of Vision mysteriously resurfaces just as Janet discovers a score of Super Villain murders. Will he guide Wasp to the truth or is his familiar guise hiding the very clues Janet needs to crack the case?

Building on this tease, Ewing noted, “Avengers Inc. takes the beating, buzzing heart of the original Avengers, teams her up with an undead mystery man with an identity so secret even he doesn't know it, and sends them both out to solve the most amazing, fantastic and uncanny whodunnits the Marvel Universe has to offer!”

Kirk also added, “I am unsure what can be said of Avengers Inc. without spoiling anything for the readers. I can say this is a fun and intriguing take on some familiar characters that leans more into detective skills over super strength, wit rather than eye beams and cunning instead of small, genetically mutated, furry creatures.”
