About Heroes Reborn:

  • By asking “Whatever happened to Earth’s mightiest heroes?” Marvel teased the return of Heroes Reborn and revealed a logo for the new books.
  • Marvel fans may recall an event of the same name in 1996 which saw many of the most iconic Marvel heroes relaunched after a battle with Onslaught.

The series did not last past 1997.
  • The release this year falls in line with the 25th anniversary of the original event in 1996.
  • In the new series, Squadron Supreme takes up the hero mantle as they face off against “Earth’s Mightiest Villains.”
