Marvel Infinity Tie in Covers for August

Infinity hits stores in August with the first issue of a 6 issue event written by Jonathan Hickman with art from Jim Cheung, Dustin Weaver and Jerome Opena. This is an event that will crossover into other titles and Marvel have released cover imagine for some of these tie-ins. Two of these coming from Hickman's other titles Avengers and New Avengers, and also the fan favourite and successful title from Kelly Sue Deconnick Avengers Assemble.

Avengers #18

Writer: Jonathan Hickman

Artist: Leinil Yu

This cover from Leinil Yu for Avengers #18 clearly depicts the arrival of Skrulls, it has been hinted in interviews and conversations that surprisingly the Skrulls are in fact involved as some form of Ally to the Avengers. This mainly comes as a surprise considering the outcome a previous Marvel event 'Secret Invasion', I look forward to seeing how the Skrulls fit into this event and can not wait to see them illustrated by Yu.

New Avengers #9

Writer: Jonathan Hickman
Artist: Mike Deodato Jnr

Another tie in cover revealed for the Infinity event is New Avengers #9. This cover includes one of the first images of Thanos and his generals, with Thanos arriving early in New Avengers, this must signal some sort of involvement from the Illuminati. More will be known when the solicits are released and obviously when the issue is released. With Mike Deodato Jnr on art duties you know this book will look gorgeous. With Deodato joining the already incredible talent on this event I have high hopes for how this will turn out.

Avengers Assemble #18

Writer: Kelly Sue Deconnick

Artist: Barry Kitson

Kelly Sue Deconnick brings the Avengers Assemble team to Infinity and judging by the cover it doesn't go to well, the debris of weapons of what I would call senior Avengers, I spot Caps Shield, Thor's Hammer and Hawkeyes Bow and Arrow. The other giveaway that things may not be going quite as planned is the situation Spider-Woman is in, suffocating in space. I am usually a sucker for Tie-Ins and most likely will be grabbing this and the two above come August.
