Every state in the US will be represented as Marvel plans to release one cover for each state for the first issue of "US Avengers." Marvel also plans to include one cover each for Canada and Puerto Rico for its comic book which will be out in December.
Hollywood Reporter said that each state will be represented by an Avenger who is native to it, which is in line with its patriotic theme. Delaware will be represented by Steve Rogers, New York by Luke Cage, Maryland by Sam Wilson, Black Widow by Connecticut and California by no other than Tony Stark. Each of the many different "US Avengers" covers will feature masterpieces by Rod Reis, and every hero was carefully selected to fit his or her respective state.
Daily Dot reported that "US Avengers" will be focusing on the new spy agency which was created by the US Government, which came to be after SHIELD fell apart. The comic book is set to debut in January of 2017, and as of now, eight different covers have already been released. The Avenger's pairing with a State can be symbolic like for example, Steve Rogers is matched with Delaware for it being the first state and him the first Avenger.
While this is exciting, this is not the first time a comic book series was tailored to appeal to native state pride. In 2013, DC's "Justice League of America" also offered 52 different covers which was made for 52 different states including Puerto Rico and Washington DC. However, unlike the "US Avengers" upcoming covers, the difference was just in a state seal featured in a flag and not the cover itself.
"US Avengers" by Marvel also features lesser known superheroes including Squirrel Girl, Red Hulk, and another Captain America from the distant future. While nothing yet is known about SHIELD's successor agency, fans do hope that this is more trustworthy than its troubled predecessor. This series will also feature former villainous organization Advanced Idea Mechanics recreated into American Intelligence Mechanics in their attempt to create what they call "the most patriotic super group."
