Next month writer Jason Aaron and artist Javier Garrón kick off the next Avengers arc “World War She-Hulk” that sees the She-Hulk captured by the Russian Winter Guard. Today Marvel released the cover for Avengers #48 teasing a dramatic transformation for the Jade Giantess into the Winter Hulk

This current incarnation of the Winter Guard was introduced early in Aaron’s run when he took over the Avengers title back in 2018.  Moreover, with the Black Widow film (finally) hitting theaters and Disney+ in a few weeks and focuses on her origin and ties to the Russian Red Room, there’s no better time for a comics tie-in. It’s not a huge surprise as well that Shulkie is sporting a white costume not dissimilar to the one Scarlett Johansson wears in the film.

Check out the cover by Garrón and text announcement below. Avengers #48 arrives in stores on Wednesday, September 1st.
