The Avengers: War Across Time Final Issue Previews Showdown With Kang

April 30, 2023, 6:01pm

Kang the Conqueror wages war across time in the centuries-spanning final issue of The Avengers: War Across Time. Set after the events of 1964’s classic Avengers #11, the five-issue limited series celebrates the 60th anniversary of Earth’s mightiest heroes by assembling the original Avengers: Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Giant-Man, and the Wasp. The heroes battled a gamma-powered Hulk robot, thwarted the Dwarf king Sindri, and fended off the subterranean Lava Men — and with the time-conquering Kang plotting to determine the Avengers’ weakest moment in the past, he’s transported his enemies forward in time for a showdown in the future: Kang’s native 31st century.
