If you thought Gerry Duggan was done with Iron Man, think again — although his time on the ongoing title wrapped up and a new title is set to debut this fall, Duggan will continue to write both Iron Man and War Machine in West Coast Avengers.
The title gets revived this November by Duggan and Danny Kim, and it features an interesting line-up: Iron Man, War Machine, Spider-Woman, Firestar and Ultron. Who is apparently a good guy now, maybe, in the One World Under Doom status quo.
Here’s the description from Marvel:
Ultron returns… redeemed? Iron Man and War Machine have put together a new team of Avengers—one that includes villains seeking a path to redemption. Their case study? Ultron—who, against all odds, seems to be walking the straight and narrow…for now. But does the success of one guarantee the success of all? Spider-Woman and Firestar have their doubts. And can any amount of heroics really absolve Ultron of his past?
The main cover is by Ben Harvey, and Kim did the variant cover for the first issue:
The title of course pulls its name from the 1980s title, an Avengers spinoff that featured Hawkeye, Iron Man and other characters setting up shop in Los Angeles as a second team of Avengers. It ran from 1985 to 1994, although the title was changed to Avengers West Coast in 1989. It was briefly revived in 2018.
The first issue arrives Nov. 27.
