Jed MacKay and CF Villa’s next Avengers epic is underway, and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes already have their hands full just four issues in.

As it turns out, things may not end up well for the Asgardian God of Thunder. In fact, a new preview of The Avengers #4 released by Marvel has the god staring death in its face.

This is big, loud Avengers stuff—nothing in this story should ever feel small or inconsequential, and our lineup reflects that. Heavy hitters and iconic Avengers are to the fore—The Tribulation Events are coming, and only the Avengers can take them on.”

United, the Avengers stand. But divided…?
