Assault on New Olympus Prologue

In 2010, Marvel launched this single-issue prologue by writer Jeff Parker and artist Gabriel Hardman, setting the stage for an epic conflict between the Avengers and the forces of Olympus. A tense, atmospheric prelude, it showcases the creative team's knack for grounded superheroics and pulp-tinged adventure. While brief, this issue matters as a key building block for a larger crossover event, demonstrating how a concise, character-driven setup can amplify the stakes of a sprawling mythological war.
