Troops and the ‘New Avengers’
Step Into the Line of Fire in Free Comic Book
DALLAS
– An all-star cast of Super Heroes is making its way
to Base and Post Exchanges across the globe as the
Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) and
Marvel Comics is set to unveil the latest in a series
of free military-only “New Avengers” comic books.
The
new comic, titled “Fireline,” finds the Incredible
Hulk, Iron Man, Spider-Man and the Human Torch teaming
up with troops to battle a forest fire in Southern
California.
In
addition to a compelling story written by Stuart Moore
and exciting imagery from Cliff Richards, the new
comic will feature information about an AAFES
sweepstakes, giving two winners an opportunity to
appear in a Marvel comic book and strap on Stark
Enterprises’ “Personal Armor System” in an
upcoming adventure.
“There’s
a lot of excitement surrounding the ‘Unmask the
Hero’ sweepstakes as it will offer a once in a
lifetime opportunity for two service members’
likenesses to appear in an upcoming Marvel comic,”
said AAFES’ Chief of Staff Col. Maxx Baker. “The
two winners will be photographed and professionally
drawn into the next comic AAFES distributes. It’s
going to be a terrific salute to a couple of real life
Super Heroes.”
Beyond
appearing in an upcoming comic book, the two lucky
winners of the “Unmask the Hero” sweepstakes will
receive an Iron Man videogame and Nintendo DS handheld
game console. Complete rules and entry forms will be
available at www.aafes.com
and local BX/PXs once Fireline hits BX and PX shelves
next month.
“Fireline,”
the sixth in AAFES/Marvel military-only comic book
series that began with “The New Avengers” in April
2005, will be available exclusively at BXs and PXs
throughout the continental United States in July.
Overseas AAFES locations, including 85 exchanges in
Operations Enduring and Iraqi Freedom, will begin
stocking the comic in August.
