Walmart To Release Exclusive Avengers Season One Original Graphic Novel With DVD And Blu-Ray

[Fysh]

Can't find the Blu-Ray version at ASDA. Can anyone help? The websites awful on my iPad >.>

The DVD version is listed here (ie £15 and you get the Avengers DVD and the comic) but oddly enough no listing for the Blu-Ray yet. It's not released for another 23 days though, so they might just not have bothered putting it on their inventory yet...

The Season 1 series has been really good so far (with the exception of Ant Man) but this does look like it's ignoring the comics history altogether and going strictly with the movies, possibly an inevitably dull adaptation of the film. And I bet the GN is the same size as a DVD case.

Okay, look, am I the only one who thinks that the notion that Marvel is releasing a major, never-before-seen graphic novel along the same lines as their other Season One GNs, without telling anybody, without interviews, and only making it available to Wal-Mart... seems really, really unlikely? Seriously. My personal guess is that this is some sort of re-issued collection of some other "Avengers origin" stories (there have been several in recent years) rather than something as promotable as, you know, a Season One book like the others they've been doing.

My thought exactly... If it sounds too good to be true, it generally is.

Nope, it's true:

Oh! SO wrong. But thanks for playing! And enjoy the entirely new, never before seen graphic novel along the same lines as their other Season One GNs.

I'm sure I will, but I'm still completely confused, Peter! Help!

You know, you can set the forum to e-mail you when someone replies.

Not sure what you're confused about. All the rest of it is the same; it's just that now you know who wrote it.

And yeah, I still miss the AC as well. The world was a better place knowing that the AC was in it.
