Marvel has announced that the Savage Avengers are set to return this May with a new creative team and new line-up as Daredevil (Elektra), Anti-Venom, Black Knight, Cloak & Dagger and Weapon H team with Conan to battle the evil Deathlok.
The new Savage Avengers series is written by David Pepose (Spencer & Locke, Scout’s Honor), making his Marvel Comics debut, along with art from Carlos Magno (Kang the Conqueror, RoboCop: Dead or Alive).
“Making my Marvel debut with Savage Avengers is like getting drafted to the Yankees and then being told you also get to play for the Rangers on the weekend — not only do I get to write Conan the Barbarian, one of the most iconic characters in sword and sorcery, but I get to throw him into the wildest adventures imaginable alongside a brand-new crew of Marvel fan-favorites!” Pepose said. “Teaming up Conan with Daredevil, Anti-Venom, Weapon H, Black Knight, and Cloak and Dagger allows so much personality and potential to this series, and artist Carlos Magno delivers showstopper after showstopper as he brings these characters to life — I can’t wait for readers to see what sparks fly when Conan and company are pitted against the most dangerous Deathlok of them all. Get ready to experience an epic battle of Cyborg versus Cimmerian, because this May, only the Savage will survive…”
“Working on Savage Avengers is like a baptism of fire,” Magno added. “It’s like David Pepose and I are dealing with nitroglycerin”.
Savage Avengers #1 will go on sale on May 4th.
