The cast of Avengers Academy will make a guest appearance in an issue of Amazing Spider-Man next month.
Avengers Academy writer Christos Gage will pen the special issue, which will feature artwork from Reilly Brown.
The issue sees Spider-Man attempting to impart some wisdom on the youngsters, who were selected as part of the team to prevent them from becoming the supervillains of the future.
"Class is in session as Spider-Man heads to Avengers Academy to take the next generation of Earth's Mightiest out for an exercise that'll quickly go from pass/fail to live/die when Psycho-Man crashes the lecture," a Marvel spokesperson said.
"And that's not all because when Giant Man finds himself face to face with the giant Monsteroso, the FF makes a mighty Marvel guest appearance."
Gage has previously told of his excitement about the prospect of bringing in guest stars from around the Marvel Universe as special guest lecturers for the Avengers students.
The oversized issue will also include the 'Day in the Life of Spider-Man' back-up feature from Paul Benjamin and Javier Pulido.
Amazing Spider-Man #661 is due for publication on May 18.
