D23 gold members and Avengers fans have a lot to look forward to in the upcoming Disney twenty-three Magazine summer edition. To celebrate the premiere of The Avengers, which debuts in theaters on May 4, the magazine will offer three different Avengers-themed collectible covers.

Fans will receive one of three different collectible covers featuring the stars of The Avengers on both the front and back covers.

Each D23 gold member will also receive one of seven collectible patches featuring the insignia of an Avengers superhero with their magazine.
