Move Over Acts Of Vengence, Here Comes Acts Of Evil

[JayC]

Marvel’s most iconic heroes meet their match against some of Marvel’s most vicious villains in a fight that can only be known as ACTS OF EVIL! From Ms. Marvel to Venom, epic encounters will ensue as Marvel’s greatest heroes battle against enemies they have never faced before – leading to an outcome that no one will expect!

“You know what everyone says is worse than the devil? The devil you don’t know!” teases editor Kathleen Wisneski. “For ACTS OF EVIL, Marvel is pitting our heroes against villains they’ll never see coming, and we’ve lined up creative teams with fresh takes on these characters to make sure our fans are just as blindsided. So readers should steel themselves! And make sure they don’t miss the launch of the next legendary rivalry, or hints at a supervillain’s next masterstroke…”

Check out the first three books debuting in July, along with the first three covers!

So, it Acts of Vengeance 2.0

That is what it seems to be.

This has the potential to be fun. Now that I think of it, it's never been uncommon for heroes to fight another character's villains once in a while. Still, I hope the rest of the isuses to be announced really take the heroes out of their elements, like the Punisher in space.

It could be fun, but it seems that Marvel's Imagination is slipping

It's just a harmless self-contained story with potential to be dumb fun, I won't bother complaining.

The bolded part of the press release makes me wonder if it is self-contained. If it is it could be a lot of fun, at least it's a hero Vs villain event.

The unexpected outcome doesn't necessarily mean that the story won't be self-contained, it just promises that the ending will be surprising. They're one-shot annuals written by Marvel newcomers, so I highly doubt they'll bring forth the new statuos-quos for the characters involved.
