MARVEL'S DEADLIEST SUPER HERO TEAM FACE A SHOCKING BETRAYAL IN NEW AVENGERS #6!

New York, NY— August 16, 2025 — The Winter Soldier. Black Widow. Namor. Clea. Carnage. Wolverine. The six deadliest loners in the Marvel Universe have assembled as the NEW AVENGERS, but following their brutal first mission, one member will be exposed as a traitor!

Originally announced as NEW THUNDERBOLTS*, NEW AVENGERS by writer Sam Humphries and artist Ton Lima is one of the hottest comic book launches of the summer, bringing together a revolutionary lineup of the Avengers in the same spirit as Brian Michael Bendis and David Finch’s decade-defining New Avengers run. The team’s initial adventure was as unpredictable as they are--hunting down the KILLUMINATI, twisted clones of the original Illuminati. In the aftermath of their first outing, this volatile group forge a mighty alliance, but tensions are higher than ever—especially after they learn one among them is the individual responsible for the Killuminati’s creation! The explosive second arc kicks off in NEW AVENGERS #6 this November.

WHO IS THE TRAITOR?

A catastrophic piece of intel reveals that the mastermind behind the creation of the Killuminati is a member of the New Avengers! As the team musters to stop Iron Apex from creating more Illuminati doubles, paranoia threatens to tear them apart. Can this unstable team hope to survive a traitor in their midst?

"I've fallen in love with these characters and this team so much, and I thought, hey, let's mercilessly tear them apart from the inside!” Humphries said about the second arc. “The New Avengers and the Killuminati are on a collision course, but secrets are plaguing both teams. There's only one person with the big picture. Which side are they on?

"Couldn't be more thrilled to be collaborating with Ton Lima on this arc,” Humphries continued. “His artwork is absolutely sizzling right off the page."
