I've never been able to get into Acua's art. No doubt he's got his fans, but there's just something about it I find really off-putting. Which is a shame because he's been a part of a lot of books whose writing I really enjoy.

I hear you. I don't find it as off-putting as a number of these other artists they have nowadays, but I do think his style meshes better with some inkers and storylines than others. And as far as storylines go...this is a "new" vision of Marvel's future? Nah, I think we've seen the bleak, dystopian thing before. Over and over.

Announced this past weekend at New York Comic Con, writer Chip Zdarsky and artist Daniel Acua have teamed up to deliver a dark endpoint for Earths Mightiest Heroes in AVENGERS: TWILIGHT. This project from two of the industrys most celebrated talents has been in development for years, and Marvel Comics is proud to present it this January. Over the course of six issues, readers will be immersed in a future where the age of heroes has come to a dramatic end. But the future still needs to be Avenged, and Steve Rogers will pick up the shield one last time to save not only the world but, the Avengers legacy. The series will introduce new characters with startling connections to the Avengers of today and reveal the tragic fate that befell Marvels greatest heroes. Today, check out the legendary Alex Ross main cover for AVENGERS TWILIGHT #1.In a gleaming new world of prosperity, Captain America is no more. But Steve Rogers still exists, floating through an America where freedom is an illusion, where the Avengers are strangers and his friends are long dead. But is the Dream?
