Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War Prelude Graphic Novel Gets Earlier Release Date

Fans were pleasantly surprised when Marvel decided to move the release date of Avengers: Infinity War up, from May 4 to April 27. This resulted in a ripple effect that forced other films like Rampage to change their release date so that they can try and make some money.

Interestingly enough, it also caused a change for a graphic novel Marvel Comics is going to publish, as Bleeding Cool has confirmed that the Avengers: Infinity War Prelude TPB now has an earlier release date.

Apparently, more shuffling will be done for the various MCU tie-in comics but this is the first one to get announced. No other official changes were announced as of this writing but expect some to be made sooner or later.

While most of the MCU tie-in comics are just recaps of the films, Infinity War Prelude has proven to be the exception. These comics have detailed essential information that fans will appreciate, like pointing out how Shuri is the one who cures Bucky and the power of the mysterious Soul Stone.

Here is the synopsis of the graphic novel:
