Avengers #35 (Vol. 5, 2014) launches the seismic Time Runs Out arc—an ambitious, timeline-shifting storyline written by Jonathan Hickman that sets the stage for the collapse of the multiverse. This issue stands out as a major turning point in modern Marvel Comics, shifting the narrative forward by eight months and placing readers directly into a fractured future filled with secrets, betrayals, and existential threats.
In this bold leap ahead, the world is on the brink, and the Avengers have splintered into ideologically divided factions. Steve Rogers has launched a personal hunt for Tony Stark, and once-solid alliances are now strained or broken. The story builds tension through strategic espionage, shifting power dynamics, and the looming threat of universal collapse brought on by the mysterious incursions.
Jim Cheung’s artwork is powerful and refined, giving each scene a cinematic edge that matches the scale of the storyline. His depiction of future-tech environments, redesigned costumes, and dramatic standoffs adds a sharp visual layer to Hickman’s already intricate plotting. Readers are introduced to a darker, more morally complex Avengers landscape where survival outweighs idealism, and leadership comes with a heavy cost.
Key appearances include Black Panther, Beast, Captain Britain, Sunspot, and members of the Illuminati, all playing integral roles as the world teeters on the edge of collapse. This issue expertly balances dialogue-heavy moments with strategic reveals and high-concept science fiction, making it essential for anyone collecting the full lead-up to Secret Wars (2015).
