Written by Joe Casey. Art by Scott Kolins and Will Rosado. Cover by Scott Kolins.

The Avengers - once assembled, few enemies could overcome their combined might. But how did five disparate heroes form such a legendary group?

Learn how the fledgling Avengers dealt with the Masters of Evil, Kang the Conqueror and more before bolstering their ranks with hot-tempered archer Hawkeye, mysterious warrior monarch Black Panther and the strange android the Vision. But with the Panther juggling his kingly duties, Vision striving for public acceptance and Goliath descending into madness, could these heroes stay together long enough to defeat the agents of A.I.M., the Circus of Crime and the Super-Adaptoid?

Paying reverence to the original Avengers mythos, Joe Casey and artists Scott Kolins and Will Rosado reveal new stories of the group's earliest trials and triumphs, presented in a thoroughly modern light.

An original graphic novel biography of Andy Warhol, the cultural icon and Pop-art legend. Celebrated during his lifetime as much for his personality as for his paintings, Warhol (1928-1987) is the man who invented Pop Art, the notion of 15 minutes of fame, and the idea that an artist could be as illustrious as the work he creates. With a unique, focused look at Warhol's life, this graphic novel biography offers insight into the turning point of Warhol's career and the time leading up to the creation of the Thirteen Most Wanted Men mural for the 1964 World's Fair, when Warhol clashed with urban planner Robert Moses and architect Philip Johnson and emerged to become one of the most significant artists of the 20th century.

1st printing. By E. Paul Zehr. Battling bad guys. High-tech hideouts. The gratitude of the masses. Who at some point in their life hasn't dreamed of being a superhero? Impossible, right? Or is it? Possessing no supernatural powers, Batman is the most realistic of all the superheroes. His feats are achieved through rigorous training and mental discipline, and with the aid of fantastic gadgets. Drawing on his training as a neuroscientist, kinesiologist, and martial artist, E. Paul Zehr explores the question: could a mortal ever become Batman? A fun foray of escapism grounded in sound science, Becoming Batman provides the background for attaining the realizable - though extreme - level of human performance that would allow you to be a superhero.

1st printing. By Aldo J. Regalado. Bending Steel examines the historical origins and cultural significance of Superman and his fellow American crusaders.

Tracing superhero fiction all the way back to the nineteenth century, Regalado explores the roles played by creators, producers, and consumers in crafting superhero fiction, ultimately concluding that these narratives are essential for understanding vital trajectories in American culture. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 288 pages, Text (with B&W Chapter Illustrations and photos). NOTE: Even though it uses the same indicia as the hardcover, the softcover was published 04/2017.

What do the comic book figures Static, Hardware, and Icon all have in common? Black Superheroes, Milestone Comics, and Their Fans gives an answer that goes far beyond "tights and capes." Milestone was the brainchild of four young black creators who wanted to part from the mainstream and do their stories their own way. Milestone focused on the African American heroes in a town called Dakota. Milestone's creators aimed for exceptional stories that addressed racial issues without alienating readers. Tracing the company's history and discussing its creators, their works, and the fans, this book gauges Milestone alongside other black comic book publishers, mainstream publishers, and the history of costumed characters.
