Warren Ellis will write, and Mike McKone and Jason Keith will illustrate, an upcoming original graphic novel featuring The Avengers from Marvel Comics. Titled Avengers: Endless Wartime, the book will also feature "augmented reality" enhancements viewable on the Marvel AR app, making it the first original graphic novel to do so. Rumors have been circulating for some time now that top-tier talent would be creating original graphic novels for the publisher. Not long ago, we speculated that it might be connected to a series of miniseries announced by Marvel's Axel Alonso, but unless this is to be rush-solicited for summer release in single issues, there seems to be no connection. The book, available in October, will also feature an introduction written by Clark Gregg (Agent Phil Coulson from Marvel's S.H.I.E.L.D.) and an afterword by Stan Lee, according to the book's Amazon entry. Here's that entry, in part, to give a sense for what the book actually entails.

An abomination, long thought buried, has resurfaced in a war-torn land. But now it wears an American flag. Faced with another nightmare reborn, Captain America will not stand for yet more death at the hands of a ghost from his past. Haunted by his greatest shame, Thor must renew the hunt for a familiar beast. At their side, an assemblage of allies united to end the threats no one of them could face alone. They are soldiers. Warriors. Comrades-in-arms. Mighty heroes led by a living legend, stronger together than apart. They are the Avengers. Avengers: Endless Wartime features special augmented reality content available exclusive through the Marvel AR app - including cover recaps, behind the scenes features and more, as well as a bonus digital edition redeemable for reading via the Marvel Comics app and online in the Marvel Digital Comics Shop, all at no additional cost!
