In Savage Avengers, the villainous sorcerer Kulan Gath has returned to the Marvel Universe looking to unleash terror and destruction. So far, the efforts of superheroes such as Wolverine, The Punisher and Elektra, combined with the barbaric skills of the time-displaced Conan the Cimmerian, have kept the sorcerer at bay. However, Kulan Gath continues to pose a great threat. In fact, Doctor Strange, Conan and Doctor Doom have since formed an unlikely alliance to take on the supervillain, but the fight is far from over.
Now, Marvel has released a teaser for the upcoming Savage Avengers #0, which will see Doctor Strange recruit the New Mutants' Magik in the fight against the villain and somehow take a trip back to the past.
The issue will also feature a reprint of Uncanny X-Men #190 and 191, written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by John Romita Jr. These particular issues will offer fans a chance to revisit a classic tale where the X-Men fought Kulan Gath.
Here is the solicitation text for Savage Avengers #0:
