New ‘Avengers’ book confirms that Erik Selvig and Darcy Lewis survived Thanos’ snap

Marvel has been living up to its name with unfailing regularity over the past several years of jaw-dropping action and tremendous plot-twists through their Avengers movies. Previous movie left fans in a frenzy as it cracked the whip on an unprecedented ending scene. Fans were blown away by the scenes of their favourite superheroes being pixelating off in the sinister consummation of Thanos’ ultimate plan of culling the population.

Many fan theories may have held some water yet they were in unconfirmed capacity. However recently, two characters were added to the list of those confirmed to have survived Thanos’ snap in Avengers: Infinity War.


Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War: The Cosmic Quest, Volume 2: Aftermath author Brandon T. Snider shared photos of the book’s front and back covers to celebrate its release.

A deadly threat emerged from the cosmos — and it was fulfilled. In the wake of Thanos’ horrifying success, the people of Earth are left reeling in despair and confusion. Without any logical explanation for the blip-out event, those remaining must pick up the pieces. Doctor Erik Selvig and his associate Darcy Lewis are determined to find and understand the cause of the devastation. With a team of friends both old and new, they embark on a pursuit of knowledge, eager to discover the links between their own pasts and the stones that decimated half of humanity — the Infinity Stones. Little do they know that a new foe who threatens to destroy them all is looming.

The book’s plot summary lines up pretty well with what is likely to be expected in the upcoming movie, interestingly enough. While there are still several characters whose fates remain a suspense, Selvig and Darcy have joined Aunt May, Howard the Duck, and the survivors we saw on screen as those unharmed by Thanos’ snap.
