The book’s full description reads: 

“JACK OF HEARTS, NOVA, STAR-LORD AND…BULLSEYE!?

THANOS has hired BULLSEYE to pull the trigger… and this time, the shot could end everything! As the DEADLIEST ASSASSIN IN THE MARVEL UNIVERSE hunts his target through New York City, STAR-LORD, NOVA and JACK OF HEARTS clash with Bullseye in a brutal, zero-room-for-error fight against the inevitable. Don’t miss one of the most intense superhuman battles in Marvel history.” 

Editor Mark Paniccia had this to say about the new one-shot: 

“You might find this one of the strangest assemblies in comics but pitting Bullseye against three characters who could punt him into the sun is one of the coolest hooks ever. MARVEL GOLD is about assembling the best talent to celebrate these characters with big swings, great stories, and a fresh spotlight that reminds readers why they’ve endured for decades.” 

Writer Stephanie Phillips added: 

“It was such an exciting opportunity to write a story that celebrates these characters and their legacies, which have helped shape not just comics, but pop culture as a whole. I can’t wait for readers to dig into this action-packed story and see the incredible artwork from Madibek Musabekov!” 

Marvel Gold ‘78 #1 releases September 9th.
