Description: MARVEL COMICS Once a serious contender as a Marvel Cinematic Universe key because of the series' focus on the Marvel Multiverse, time-displaced Variants of the Avengers and KANG THE CONQUEROR as the central antagonist, Avengers Forever lost its speculative sparkle when real-world circumstances removed Marvel Studios' 'Kang' actor from the equation -- and all his future appearances in the MCU. There are few storytellers working in comics who are better than KURT BUSIEK, however, and his team-up with artist CARLOS PACHECO on Avengers Forever results in one amazing 12-part Marvel maxi-series. The series gives us a remarkable look at the character of Kang, and the time-jaunts of the Avengers are fun and open up corners of the Marvel Universe that most readers don't often get to experience. The more recently published Avengers Forever series, which came in 2022, obviously was so-named in its predecessor's honor. Published long before someone decided that any random issue of a comic book usually demands it be published with multiple variant covers, Avengers Forever launched with just one VARIANT COVER -- an EXCLUSIVE to Westfield Comics with art also by Pacheco. With a LIMITED PRINT RUN of 5,000 copies and originally including a COA, Pacheco's "KANG" VARIANT COVER remained a coveted Avengers Variant for nearly two decades.
