The Secret History of Woodrow McCord Revealed in Original Sin Annual #1

Posted on by

The secrets of the critically acclaimed Original Sin continue to spill out this October as the adventure continues in Original Sin Annual #1 – from Jason Latour and Enis Cisic! The information the Watcher kept has brought to light shocking secrets about Thor, Spider-Man, the Avengers and more. But perhaps the most mysterious is that of Woodrow McCord – the enigmatic, world protector who heroically gave his life in Original Sin #5 before passing the torch to Nick Fury.

Answering to no one and with the safety of an entire planet under his watch, witness the secret history of one of the Marvel Universe’s greatest architects as he shapes the world our heroes know in secret. Latour & Cisic explore the never-before-told backstory of the alien-fighting, weapon-toting, monster-brawling McCord as he safeguards the world in secret. Operating as the mysterious “Man on the Wall,” he fought the battles too big for anyone on Earth to fight. Not because he wanted to, but because he had to.

In an interview with Marvel.com, Latour said:

The job is getting out there rattling cages, getting in the heads of people who want to harm Earth. Stopping trouble before it starts, by any means necessary. In the eyes of a lot of these more belligerent alien races, the Earth was ripe for the picking. It was a silent, shadow war and for quite a while McCord was the only soldier we had.

McCord fought an endless, solitary war in secret. But did he lose his own humanity in the process? Find out as the bombastic tale of a two-fisted sci-fi pulp story of the savior of the Marvel Universe stands revealed in October’s Original Sin Annual #1!

Preview: The Final Battle Begins! A First Look at Original Sin #7!

Posted on by

All roads have been leading to this! Marvel has released afirst look at Original Sin #7 – the penultimate chapter from New York Times Bestselling writer Jason Aaron and critically acclaimed artist Mike Deodato. The shocking final page of last issue kept fans on the edge of their seats, and now as Original Sin races towards its epic climax – the heroes of the Marvel Universe prepare for their final stand against…Nick Fury?

Operating in the shadows, Nick Fury has protected the Marvel Universe from unseen forces. Protecting the Marvel Universe by any means necessary, Fury has “guarded the wall” for decades right under the noses of both S.H.E.I.L.D. and the Avengers. Now, drained of the Infinity Formula that kept him youthful, the battle-hardened soldier is rapidly aging, his time left short. But his job is never done…

He’ll stop at nothing to protect the Marvel Universe from what’s coming – even if he has to go through the Avengers to do it! Armed with the Watcher’s eyes, the secrets and sins of the entire Marvel Universe are now at his disposal. The knowledge Uatu kept could now be their very undoing! How can anyone stand up against a tactical genius with access to all the heroes greatest weaknesses?

The series that critics have hailed “a riveting thriller” and “one hell of a story” is approaching the heart-stopping climax no fan can afford to miss.

Everybody has one. This is Marvel’s ORIGINAL SIN!
