The Avengers have assembled!

Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto’s new series starring the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes debuted last week, and that’s why we’re back with another Chip Chat despite our most recent edition hitting just a couple weeks back itself. Heck with sensible schedules! It’s Avengin’ time, people!

This penultimate episode of Chip Chat is almost entirely about that first issue of Avengers, so slight spoiler warning here (we don’t go too far into specifics). Most of the conversation is about the cast of the book, Mephisto’s fit as a villain, how it all connects to his other Marvel work, the One More Day of it all, our hardcore views on preview pages, and, yes, we do talk about my Stilt-Man story in the upcoming Marvel Winter Break Special #1. What, did you expect me not to bring it up?! I swear it fits, though!

As with the rest of these episodes, Chip Chat can both be watched and read. Both options are available for SKTCHD subscribers, and you can find the video on the SKTCHD YouTube. If your preference is to read rather than watch, make sure to subscribe to SKTCHD. It’s the only way you can read it! Regardless of your subscription level, though, you can find the video below, but only subscribers can access the the written version of this chat — which has been edited for length and clarity — after the break.
