What happens when Earth's Mightiest Heroes learn who--and what--they truly are? Writer Chip Kidd and artist Michael Cho have created a mind-bending, visually sumptuous saga that takes the Avengers--and you, the reader--to places that challenge everything we thought we knew about super heroes and the very nature of heroism . villainy . and existence. It starts with an epic battle in Asgard, as Loki , the god of mischief, comes into possession of a weapon of unimaginable power and assembles an army of otherworldly monsters in an effort to carry out his evil plans. Cue the Avengers -- Captain America , Iron Man , Thor , the Hulk , Giant-Man , and the Wasp --who meet this horrifying throng of beasts head-on as a thrilling, knock-down drag-out fight ensues. But when the smoke clears, what appears to be a typically raucous comic book take-down is revealed to be something very, very different--and very, very terrifying. And this discovery threatens to destroy the Avengers in a way that Loki or any other foe never has before. Because this time the enemy is .

the Truth. Oh, and did we mention that it's absolutely hilarious ? Welcome to The Veracity Trap , a truly profound, thought-provoking conundrum of a comic, where no one--not even the Avengers--can escape! Includes a reversible, two-sided dust jacket featuring Giant-Man, Thor, Iron Man, and the Wasp with exclusive art by Michael Cho on the underside and Hulk and Captain America on the case--beautifully designed by Chip Kidd.
