In September, the galaxy will have new protectors thanks to writer Cullen Bunn (X-Men Blue, Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe) and Matteo Lolli (The Despicable Deadpool): Asgardians.

Marvel’s Asgardians of the Galaxy spins out of the events of the upcoming Infinity Wars event, assembling a new team to keep watch on the universe:

  • Angela, Thor’s less-than-beloved half sister
  • Valkyrie and her human half, Annabelle Riggs
  • Skurge the Executioner
  • Throg, the frog of thunder
  • Thunderstrike / Kevin Masterson
  • the Destroyer armor, the wielder of which is unknown

Marvel’s latest Infinity Wars event kicks off in July with the release of Infinity Wars: Prime #1 (see "Preview: 'Infinity Wars' - 'Death Wins' Teaser Art").  Marvel will also release trades for the run-up to the event in September (see "Marvel Collects 'Infinity Countdown'").
