Hey All!

It’s The Avengers Mania today! I’m so excited! You know what that means? The Avengers is almost here! Marvel’s The Avengers is so big, Disney twenty-three magazine is putting out not one, not two, but three eye-popping collectible covers to do it justice!

Coinciding with the worldwide theatrical release of Marvel’s The Avengers, the summer issue of Disney twenty-three features a 10-page story on the creation of the biggest superhero film ever produced. Author and Disney Imagineer Jason Surrell spoke with the film’s acclaimed writer-director Joss Whedon, as well as stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hiddleston and Clark Gregg, and producer Kevin Feige to get the behind-the-scenes details on the explosive film, from the complexities of bringing many of the world’s most famous heroes together to nights out dancing in downtown Albuquerque.

Each of the magazine’s three front and back covers feature different characters:

Iron Man and Nick Fury on front; Hulk and Captain America on back
Thor and Black Widow on front; Iron Man and Hawkeye on back
Captain America on front; Hulk and Hawkeye on back

I know I want ALL THREE AND ALL THE PATCHES! I MUST HAVE THEM! PLEASE IF MY D23 BEST FRIENDS FOREVER ARE LISTENING PLEASE SEND THEM MY WAY! I’d kill for them. lol.
