The Avengers Team Up With An Unlikely Hero For Spider-Island

Writer Chris Yost spills the deets on the weird team-up

No Caption Provided
Spider-Man is going to have his hands full dealing with the upcoming events of Spider- Island- but he won't have to handle absolutely everything on his own. Lucky for Parker, he can look to the Avengers for some help. Marvel has officially released a preview for the cover to the one-shot of Spider-Island: Avengers #1 penciled by artist Leinil Francis Yu. The book will be written by Chris Yost with interiors by Mike McKone. A small portion of the Avengers team will face off against a long-running terrorist organization, Flag-Smasher; but will they successfully contain the threat? Yost gave a brief recap of what his Avengers will be dealing with in this new one-shot.
 == TEASER ==

“It's day two, and Manhattan lives under quarantine,” says Yost, "The citizens of New York City are developing a bad case of spider powers, and things have gone a little nutty. The island has been sealed off, and the Avengers are trying to hold everything together. The one-shot has a few members of the Avengers dealing with a very specific threat. There's any number of super villains in New York at any given time, sure, but there's also random, heavily armed terrorist groups as well. Now imagine a trained, organized group of mercenaries with Uzis, RPGs, and super powers.”

While the Spider-Island event will bring the Avengers to quarantined New York in order to help contain the spread of the spider powers, the Spider-Island: Avengers one shot will be specifically focusing on Ms. Marvel, Jewel, Hawkeye and oddly enough, Frog-Man. Yes, you did read that correctly. So how did Yost successfully mesh Frog-Man with this team of Avengers, and will the heroes actually take him seriously?

Frog-Man really sees himself as an Avenger, even if nobody else does,” explains Yost. “And in the insanity of Spider-Island, maybe Frog-Man is the hero that New York City needs right now. Or maybe I kill him off mid-issue. You never really know with me.”

It will definitely be...interesting to see how these Avengers deal with Frog-Man on their side. What do you think of Marvel's upcoming Spider-Island event? Are you looking forward to Spider-Island: Avengers?

                Haha trying to keep up with DC with this.
           
What do you mean keep up with dc?Thier anual reboot?Meh coulda had spider pig with the avengers an had me more intrested than what dc crisis of 52 infinite milinium brightest zero flashpoint earth hour day is doing atm.

                   

               
YeaH. Because its a reboot.... Its a relaunch. Marvel does the same thing, but every month. Whatever. I get that youre a Marvel fan. No need to bash DC. I was just saying that DC has been getting so much attention and Marvel just had to do something to get some attention. You could be nice next time. Thanks.

                   

               

Didnt think i was being rude to you .But next time try not to pin down my tastes in comics to one of the big 2.I like Batman as much as Captian America.The meh was directed at the "reboot " that your not supposed to call a reboot.,not you.Actualy when i was last collection monthly comics i was geting more dc than marvel  .An at the very end i was not geting a single marvel title. 
 
Dc's golden age an some sivler age stuff was awsome.As well as the dirty 80s stuff .But marvel doesnt have to do much to gain attention.Movies are doing well an they do own more comic market share than dc .

He's an oft forgotten established Spider-Man character, the fact Dan Slott didn't get around to him is a mystery.

Definitely getting it now. I'm not even being sarcastic. I've never seen Frog-Man look cooler.

Yay Frog-Man. Hope we'll see the rest of his Initiative team too.
Sounds like the most interesting thing of this event.

Haha im not talking about how much money each company is making. Marvel is making more money because they currently have more titles out and less stingy fans. But DC has more comics in top 10 comics every month being bought.

I've liked pretty much everything I've read of Chris Yost's, so I'm, definitely picking this up.

And in the insanity of Spider-Island, maybe Frog-Man is the hero that New York City needs right now. Or maybe I kill him off mid-issue. You never really know with me.

 So true, lol.
