The Avengers in the Veracity trap!

"The third original graphic novel in the Marvel Arts line, the Avengers star in a reality-bending adventure from award-winning writer Chip Kidd and artist Michael Cho. As the original Avengers--Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Giant Man, the Wasp, and the Incredible Hulk-fight a series of Kirbyesque creatures, they encounter a mysterious entity called the Veracity Vortex. This glowing object is actually a portal, and once you go through it you learn ... the Truth. But when Thor jumps into the Veracity Vortex to retrieve his hammer, the rest of the Avengers soon follow, only to come out the other side and make the startling discovery that they're not real. In fact, they are merely fictional characters whose actions and heroics are being controlled by--writers and artists--comics creators who are just as surprised to come face-to-face with the actual Avengers! The super heroes have no more than a moment to grapple with the reality that they are merely characters in a comic book--a medium, as Thor grimly reveals, that's considered to be "literature of the lowest order"--before they are thrust into the real world. There, they face their most terrifying foe yet--existential dread! And in this strange "real world," they discover that the writers and artists control them in the midst of a battle with an equally terrifying foe--deadlines! Follow the Avengers as they oscillate between worlds, question their fate and destiny, and struggle to take control of their own story in this wholly original meta narrative from award-winning creators Chip Kidd and Michael Cho"--
