Marvel Comics' New Avengers #6 to Unveil Shocking Betrayal
The New Avengers aren’t wasting any time before turning on each other. Marvel’s latest team of loners—Winter Soldier, Black Widow, Namor, Clea, Carnage, and Wolverine—are already facing betrayal in their second arc. Writer Sam Humphries and artist Ton Lima’s New Avengers has been one of the standout launches of the summer, pitting this volatile lineup against the Killuminati, twisted clones of the original Illuminati. Now, in New Avengers #6 this November, the fallout begins when the team learns that one of their own was behind the Killuminati’s creation all along.
That shocking revelation sets the stage for a paranoia-fueled story where trust is shattered and alliances crumble. Stephen Segovia’s main cover teases the distrust bubbling within the group, while Paco Medina’s variant offers the first hints at who might be the traitor. Humphries promises an arc full of betrayal, secrets, and explosive showdowns, describing it as a collision course between the New Avengers and the Killuminati—with one mysterious figure holding the “big picture.”
With a roster this sharp-edged, suspicion falls on everyone. Is Carnage too obvious a suspect, or could the betrayal come from someone closer to the Avengers’ core? Humphries and Lima seem intent on keeping fans guessing, and if the first arc was any indication, New Avengers is shaping up to be a thrilling mix of mystery and mayhem—exactly the kind of shakeup that could redefine Marvel’s most unpredictable team.
