What happens when Earth's Mightiest Heroes learn who--and what--they truly are?

Writer Chip Kidd and artist Michael Cho have created a mind-bending, visually sumptuous saga that takes the Avengers--and you, the reader--to places that challenge everything we thought we knew about super heroes and the very nature of heroism . . . villainy . . . and existence.

It starts with an epic battle in Asgard, as Loki, the god of mischief, comes into possession of a weapon of unimaginable power and assembles an army of otherworldly monsters in an effort to carry out his evil plans. Cue the Avengers--Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk, Giant-Man, and the Wasp--who meet this horrifying throng of beasts head-on as a thrilling, knock-down drag-out fight ensues.

But when the smoke clears, what appears to be a typically raucous comic book take-down is revealed to be something very, very different--and very, very terrifying. And this discovery threatens to destroy the Avengers in a way that Loki or any other foe never has before. Because this time the enemy is . . . the Truth.

Oh, and did we mention that it's absolutely hilarious?

Welcome to The Veracity Trap, a truly profound, thought-provoking conundrum of a comic, where no one--not even the Avengers--can escape!

Includes a reversible, two-sided dust jacket featuring Giant-Man, Thor, Iron Man, and the Wasp with exclusive art by Michael Cho on the underside and Hulk and Captain America on the case--beautifully designed by Chip Kidd.
