Marvel Comics informs Newsarama that due to "popular demand and an increased importance in the overall tapestry of the post-
Civil War Marvel Universe", the upcoming
Avengers: The Initiative limited series has been changed to an ongoing series, adding a third Marvel Universe proper ongoing
Avengers title to their line-up.
“With the reader and retailer reaction to the climax of
Civil War, and the general interest in precisely what comes next for Tony Stark’s Fifty State Initiative, it only made sense to us to promote
Avengers The Initiative to a full ongoing series, rather than just a limited," said Executive Editor Tom Brevoort in an announcement. "The number of story possibilities set in place by the new status quo of the Marvel Universe are almost endless, and we’re sure that fans will want to experience them all along with writer Dan Slott and artist Stefano Caselli.”
Avengers: The Initiative premieres next month on April 4th.
