Previewed by ComicBook.com earlier today, this first issue includes an invasion from orbit, a picnic in Prospect Park, Super Hero sightseeing in Manhattan, the All-Winners Squad in 1947, Reed Richards during his time in military intelligence, cosmic beings beyond space and time—and that's only for starters. Featuring Captain America, Spider-Man, the Punisher, the Human Torch, Storm, the Black Cat, the Golden Age Vision, Aero, Iron Man and Thor, and introducing two brand-new characters, all beautifully drawn by Yildiray Cinar in the opening act of a thriller that'll take us across the Marvel Universe—and beyond.

It all starts here. And it goes everywhere.

But first, a few questions...

Who is Kevin Schumer?
Who is Lady Lotus?
Who is Threadneedle?
Who is Warbird?
