Hyperion takes the center stage.

No Caption Provided

This September, the supremely powerful Hyperion takes center stage in the oversized AVENGERS #34.1 – an exciting new solo story from critically acclaimed creators Al Ewing and Dale Keown! Last son of a dead utopia and sole survivor of a world decimated by Incursions. Father figure to a new species of life thriving in the Savage Land. He is an Avenger, and so much more. Now, the Man From Nowhere seeks justice upon an unhinged cop killer, the safe return of a kidnapped child – and perhaps answers to the questions that haunt him deep inside. Why was he brought here? What purpose does he serve in our universe? The answers can be found this September in the Hyperion-centric AVENGERS #34.1!

AVENGERS #34.1 (JUL140624)

Written by AL EWING

Art & Cover by DALE KEOWN

Variant Cover by CHRIS BACHALO (JUL140625)

i like this Hyperion, i don't care if he is a rip off. there are also rip off in dc. doomsday is hulk rip off.

Wait, what? Nonsense and nothing more. Huge, destructive beasts are nothing new to fiction. Marvel has ripped off DC quite a bit, it is what it is.

@supreme_maj: I agree I have read Abnett and lannings Guardians of the Galaxy and any hero that is connected to space or is cosmic in any sence has to be written by them. So I say bring them back have them write your Hyperion book, take the current GotG title away from bendis (it's not bad it's just nouthing has happend in the book and it is on issue 17) and give it to Abbnet and lanning so they can bring back the cosmic book from marvel that we all love.

Yeah exactly If only they can also go and taken care of Majestic in the new 52 the way I see thing they put Maj in limbo and most of the Wildstorm Characters are B-list now too bad. I forgot guys try to go the Battle I made I need your point of views on this :http://www.comicvine.com/forums/battles-7/strontian-xenith-vs-wonder-woman-new-52-1592263/

@sog7dc: I have heard nothing but great things for this run.

They were perfect for Maj. They had the pseudo-scientific element that works great for Mr Majestic, they told huge unhinged bombastic stories with no trepidation, The art was phenomenal imo. This is the team that should get another shot.

Yeah very true it was a fantastic run, up to now i'm reading it. I hope if marvel want to lunch an Hyperion book they should choose those guys for the run

In my opinion, Hyperion is the only true Marvel Superman clone. And I guess I see how others could feel Gladiator is since his powers are exactly the same (though his origin and source are different). But Sentry and Blue Adam? Why? Because they fly, are strong, have some type of energy manipulation and have a cape? Then technically Thor would fall under that. It's like how people feel about Moon Knight and Batman.

Anyway, looking forward to this issue. Big fan of Hyperion.

Hyperion is best left as a supa-villain whn nt in his squadron supreme universe, anyways der's already KING HYPERION within d same 616 universe.

Anyhw, Ewing has been doing gr8 wondaz on BM/Blue Marvel in MA/Mighty Avngrs, so gr8 dat we/SZ hv fallen in luv with d xcter & wish Marvel gv BM a 2nd mini or maxi or limited series co-written by Grevioux & Ewing.

We/SZ wud even rathr read d puke-inducing Sentry dan Hyperion....Ewing has gr8 talnts but let him concerntrate d superb work he's doing on BM bcuz Hyperion already has 2 writers since he appears in 2 avngrs titles.

I can understand that, but I think he's become his own character at this point. I don't agree with Blue Marvel, Sentry, and Gladiator being ripoffs. They may be made in his mold but their no copies.

Nah, I got no problem with the others, I actually like Sentry and Gladiator, as for Blue Marvel, I don't know enough about him. But I can't help but see Superman everytime I see Hyperion, lol.

Aside from flight and super strength (tons of characters have this), Blue Marvel is nothing like Superman. He has a completely different set of abilities, back story, etc.

You ever hear of Earth 8?

I never heard of Earth 8, but that's shocking. I didn't know DC basically copied the Marvel Comics Universe.

champions of angor and earth 8 have appeared in 5 comics in 43 years so yeah they are a rip off... you have a point but look how many times marvel is using hyperion 420 appearances and squadron supreme 186 appearances ...plus DC doesn't have a fake thor or captain america join the justice league ...hyperion sucks ...all he's needed for is to see how thor would do against superman ...or to see what if superman joined the avengers ...he's unoriginal that's all there is to it ...he was conceptualized to be unoriginal from his inception . but you have a point about earth 8 ..dc and marvel copy each other ...its just marvel does it more ...alot more ...look how much the new avengers current story (as great as it is and i love it ) is a copy of the original crisis ...c'mon the great society ? wtf ..red skies? merging alternate earths ???? but that supreme power story was really good you are right about that

I don't mind the Great Society being copies of the Justice League. Their purpose was to show how a modern encounter between the Marvel and DC characters would work, since the personalities and morals of the Marvel characters are radically different from the DC characters. Other than the fact that the current New Avengers story line involves alternate earths, it's not really a copy of Crisis. It's not like the New Avengers have teamed up with alternate versions of themselves to an all-powerful god monster LOL. But I see your point.

after this back and forth discussion ...i think we agree more than disagree on this whole subject ...besides what super hero continuity does'nt have a superman type ?...it creates alot of possibilities and marvel has done some unique takes on the superman mythos using hyperion so i could see the value in having him in the avengers i guess

@supreme_maj: you got a point but some of your point is not accurate. For example if you read Grayson, the fighting style and personality of Dick Grayson is not like Winter Soldier. Grayson book feels like love letter and continue story of the Grant Morrison Batman Inc. So yeah peace :) Also guys please stop this Marvel DC flame war

Ooooh please guys this 2 companies are used to take what the other do but in different ways Dc has also his share of rip off Rampage= She hulk; guardians = cap america; vigilante= punisher; Doomsday & Grundy= Hulk; Imperiex= Galactus; and some time even fighting style and concept in the 90ties they change Dick Grayson into a kind of daredevil with staffs and jumping on ruffs now he is a kind of winter soldier with his new serie; wonder woman who was dealing with nazi and villains, in the 80ties started to fight gods and monsters like Thor the list is long and the same with Marvel so please stop those debates about companies rip off

@icon: yup agree. Another best example is Captain America. He have great live action movie while Green Lantern doesn't have great live action movie but yet comics sales of GL is much better than Cap. Like you said, Justice League is more A-List teams and comics compare to Avengers

I don't know why but seems like Avengers comics written by Hickmann is not my cup of tea. I love The Avengers movie but for some reason I can't get into Avengers comics. I prefer X-men and Spidey comics better. It is weird that despite Avengers have great live action movie but they never in top 10 comics sales every month. Meanwhile Justice League never have live action movie but every month is consistent among top 10 most comics sales

They have often been top 10 just maybe not at the moment.
