The Avengers will tie into Infinity, this summer's mega-crossover by Jonathan Hickman and company, in an unexpected way: by teaming up with one of the Marvel Universe's most consistently violent and evil alien races. In Avengers #18, out in August from Hickman and Leinil F. Yu, a powerful and destructive race is on a collision course with Earth and the only thing in their path is the Avengers. But even Earth's Mightiest Heroes realize the one hope of defeating this dire threat is to unite every great hero across the cosmos…because only with a united "Avengers Universe" is there any chance of survival! But in order to do so, Captain America and the Avengers must join the Council of Worlds as they declare war on their cosmic invaders. And when the key to their success lies within the rebirth of the Skrull Empire, there's no telling what may happen next! "Moreso than any other tie-ins, Jonathan's issues of Avengers and New Avengers are an integral core part of the Infinity story--absolutely essential to the reading experience," explained Executive Editor, Tom Brevoort, Marvel Entertainment. "So these issues that Leinil is drawing are key to everything" The next question, of course, is who might be the alien race in question. A good candidate might be the Chitauri, the aliens who worked for Thanos in the recent Avengers movie and who are being introduced into the Marvel 616 continuity for the first time in an upcoming issue of Nova. The strange twist? The Chitauri began their existence as the Ultimate Comics version of the Skrulls!
