Avengers - Vol 5 - #12 - 2013 - Evolve - (NM)

A powerful, character-driven chapter in Jonathan Hickman’s sweeping Avengers epic, issue #12 shifts the spotlight onto the cosmic fallout of Ex Nihilo’s terraforming "Origin Sites" on Earth. Centering on the god-like powerhouses Thor and Hyperion, this issue blends high-concept genetic sci-fi with deeply personal stakes, exploring what happens when a classic Marvel villain tries to hijack the next stage of human evolution.

When the alien gardener Ex Nihilo bombarded Earth with evolution pods, he established several "Origin Sites" meant to forcefully rewrite the planet's ecosystem. In the prehistoric expanse of the Savage Land, this biological payload gave birth to the Children of the Sun—a brand-new, rapidly evolving humanoid species.
