Do you know how many Avengers there have been?
 
In the movies alone, the roster stands at sixteen. In the comics, well, if you include all the splinter teams, honorary members, trainees and infiltrators, there are well over 150.
 
But who is the ultimate Avenger – the one to rule them all? Would it be the strongest, the smartest, the funniest? The one with the most compelling backstory? The best leader? Or just the one who can shout ‘AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!’ the loudest?
 
In Avengers: Uncivil War, LICAF’s opening event for 2024, we’re going to find out. And the ultimate arbiter will not be Thanos, Loki or even the ghost of Stan Lee. It will be you, O wielder of the live vote.
 
Six comics experts – some of whom have actually drawn and written the hallowed annals of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes – will each make the case for their own favourite Avenger. And their weapons of choice will not be petty hammers, shields, arrows or even shawarma… but the most potent and cunning armoury ever devised: words.One character will be entering the Heroes’ Hall of Fame. The others will just be toxic Avengers. Join us –and help make history.

With Marc Jackson, Graham Dury, Yomi Ayeni, Keli Lark … plus live draw by Dagsson, Pieter de Poortere and Tom Richmond | MC Emma Vieceli
