Marvel's vice president of publishing Tom Brevoort announced in the live "Secret Wars" presentation at New York City's Midtown Comics that his company will offer the Attack on Titan and Marvel crossover comic Attack on Avengers in English as part of Free Comic Book Day. "Secret Wars" is a new arc in the Marvel franchise that will eventually combine "all the universes you can imagine," including the current Marvel Universe and Ultimate Universe. Marvel will include the Attack on Titan crossover in its Secret Wars #0 issue.

The original publication featured English dialogue, but included a Japanese translation guide. Original manga creator Hajime Isayama himself created the plot for the comic.
