Marvel Comics has released a new variety cover for West Coast Avengers #1, which is due out November 27th, and it’s a firestarter for sure. Drawn by Adam Hughes, the cover features Firestar, everyone’s new favorite mutant. Considering Duggan said at SDCC this year, “This book is about redemption,” Duggan said, adding, “Fire Star is going to have a rough time. Sorry, Fire Star,” one can imagine why she’s getting her own cover.
“Redemption has been on my mind this year, and we’ll see who can be redeemed on the West Coast,” Duggan teased. “It’s a fun action story, but it’s also an Ultron tale – and one of my biggest Marvel swings yet. I previously had the pleasure of writing a pretty great horror story about Ultron wearing Pym’s face, and this is a very different tale with one of my favorite Marvel characters, in one of my favorite legacy titles in the city that has been my home for so long. Wait until you see what Danny Kim is cooking up. Find redemption in November in the city of Angels.”

New York, NY— August 15, 2024 — Gerry Duggan redefined Firestar’s role in the mutant mythos in the pages of X-Men, but this November, he takes the revitalized hero back to Earth’s Mightiest in a new run of WEST COAST AVENGERS alongside acclaimed artist Danny Kim! Today, fans can see Firestar in all her fiery glory as she takes the spotlight in the debut issue’s special Foil variant cover by superstar artist Adam Hughes. The piece will blaze brightly on stands and features Angelica Jones in her newest costume, ready to set the world on fire as an Avenger once again!
The new run of WEST COAST AVENGERS will hit the ground running just in time for the iconic title’s 40th anniversary. The series opens with Tony Stark assembling a new team consisting of War Machine; Jessica Drew, AKA Spider-Woman; Firestar, AND a mysteriously redeemed Ultron!
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?
“Redemption has been on my mind this year, and we’ll see who can be redeemed on the West Coast,” Duggan teased. “It’s a fun action story, but it’s also an Ultron tale – and one of my biggest Marvel swings yet. I previously had the pleasure of writing a pretty great horror story about Ultron wearing Pym’s face, and this is a very different tale with one of my favorite Marvel characters, in one of my favorite legacy titles in the city that has been my home for so long. Wait until you see what Danny Kim is cooking up. Find redemption in November in the city of Angels.”
