The Wasp creates a whole new style of Avenging! Her name is Janet Van Dyne, she's a celebrity, and she's hunting a killer. His name is Victor Shade, he's an enigma - and he just got killed. Together, they're out to solve every mystery in the Marvel Universe, starting with their own! "Victor Shade" was the Vision's cover identity - but whoever this guy is, he's not the Vision. Can Jan and Victor find answers with…the ghost of Avengers Mansion?! Then, when the Wasp receives an invite from Jane Foster, their investigation will take them to Valhalla - to learn how a dead man can die again! Plus: Who is killing off those juggling jerks known as the Death-Throws? Who will form the new Lethal Legion? And which shocking face from Jan's past will be leading them? Collecting AVENGERS INC. #1-5.
Writer Al Ewing began his career on the British anthology 2000 AD. Since breaking into American comics, he has written Jennifer Blood and spin-off series The Ninjettes for Dynamite Entertainment, and the Age of Ultron tie-in issues of Avengers Assemble for Marvel Comics. Ewing’s novels include the Pax Britannia series as well as The Fictional Man. With artist Greg Land, he relaunched Marvel’s Mighty Avengers; for All-New Marvel NOW!, gave the god of mischief a new assignment in Loki: Agent of Asgard. Ewing then took revamped versions of New Avengers and Ultimates, debuted U.S.Avengers; and joined the writing team for the “No Surrender” storyline in Avengers, which brought the Hulk back from the dead. His subsequent titles include Valkyrie, Guardians of the Galaxy, Defenders, the event series Empyre and the critically revered smash hit Immortal Hulk. Ewing has cemented his place in the Krakoan era of the X-Men titles comics with S.W.O.R.D. and X-Men: Red.

The cult hit Agents of Atlas helped artist Leonard Kirk cultivate a rabid fan base, but he was guaranteed pop-culture immortality following years of work on multiple Star Trek tie-ins. His collaboration with industry legend Peter David in a years-long stint on Supergirl and his role as penciler on Detective Comics during DC’s One Year Later initiative further cemented his reputation in the industry, leading to a critically acclaimed run on Captain Britain and MI13. His other Marvel credits include another collaboration with David on X-Factor, as well as runs on Fantastic Four, Squadron Supreme and All-New Wolverine.
