Today, Marvel is pleased to present your first look at the MAX RIDE WINGED GLIDER promo item, debuting in stores this April!

With art by fan-favorite artist John Tyler Christopher, the MAX RIDE WINGED GLIDER can be easily folded into a high-flying glider – just like Max and the Flock.

Stemming from the wonderfully imaginative world of James Patterson's hit Maximum Ride series, JAMES PATTERSON'S MAX RIDE: FIRST FLIGHT #1 follows the story of Max and the Flock - Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman and Angel. The product of genetic tampering, these six ordinary teens have been imbued with extraordinary abilities! Now half human and half avian, they've escaped their villainous creators and are out on their own. But their adventures are just getting started! On the run from their creators and the deadly "Erasers," they'll slowly uncover the shocking truth behind their origins!
