The Avengers Thread

Damn, I'm psyched for May. Bruce Wayne Returns should be around the corner by then and all this new Marvel stuff, Batman 700... ect

"and what happens when a member of MI:13 decides to ditch queen and country and defect to the U.S. of A." So I'm thinking your Spitfire guess with the Secret Avengers could be on the money, right?

Possibly.
Although Captain Britain being on the cover makes me wonder...

damn another book added to the list..but then when you think about it, it consists of 3 canceled books formed into 1...so I'll take the consolidation

Man, I like that line up (with the addition of Cap and Iron Man, obviously). Probably just another collective image showing random heroes... but I wouldn't mind it as the team.

Of course, it is missing Thor. Maybe the big three are just pictured elsewhere...

my LCBS owner said that Cage is going to be leader of the new Thunderbolts team with Juggernaut, Crossbones, Ghost, Man-Thing and Moonstone being members. I really like Juggernaut and hope he can go back to being a good guy again but more to the point i wonder what the others are doing on the cover. Maybe it's just a setup thing and then he goes seperate from them or something.

Also since the Avengers line is going to end I'm pretty sure they're canning Avengers: The Initiative too. Aw well, I haven't liked as much as I used to anyway.

The Avengers are getting relaunched, not ending.

That isn't a cover, it's just promotional art for the Heroic Age. It's heroes from Avengers, Secret Avengers, Agents of Atlas, and Thunderbolts.

Also, yes Avengers: The Initiative is canceled as of April. All 4 current Avengers books are ending.

That doesn't upset the theory because there's about 4 members of MI:13 on the cover and the story inside features all of them from the sound of it. In fact, the fact that Spitfire isn't on the cover is almost a clue (as in not giving it away).

Great point. I hope it ends up being her.

...and getting a relaunch. The Initiative, for example, will become Avengers Academy.

Is that the name of a book coming out, or just an example?

No, that'll be the book's name.

I googled that shit cuz I thought you were messing with me.

I FUCKING LOVE YOU DAWG!

Makes me laugh every time I see it.

Anyone else noticed that there were no new teasers for this team since the Secret Avengers teasers have been released? Does it mean the tam will consist of only five members?

YES!
