2nd Avengers team?

[blehbeh]

Wow. I mean, this might not be an actual team (even though I kind of have a feeling it DOES represent the "other" Avengers team, either sharing a bi-weekly or 3 times a month Avengers book, or a different book)....

.....but I think this image means that more likely than not, Gorilla Man will be an Avenger of some kind. Interesting.

A new Dark Avengers?

[streator]

eh, this one bores me. it doesn't really make me think anything "new".

[Haquim]

...
Street level avengers?
I must say I don't like that line-up very much... What are they supposed to fight against? Kingpin? Mysterio? The Hand?

Not very "avenger like" to me...

Yeah, because it's not like any of those folks have fought against non street-level stuff before.

Oh wait....

Quite frankly if three of the oldest/most "classic" Avengers (Hank Pym, Hawkeye, Black Widow) being on the same lineup together isn't "Avenger like" to you there's really just going to be no convincing some people.

I don't think that is a team, since Hawkeye has already been revealed as part of the regular Avengers team.


That would be an awesome team, though.

I suppose he could be on both...

Not very Avengery? Other than the Gorilla dude, they have ALL been staples of prior Avegners books.


The idea that power level is the most important element in a book always sticks in my craw...

I would rather see Hawkeye fight someone he can damage than have him standing around while Thor, Vison and Iron Man take on Thanos.

I wish they would stop trying to force that monkey down our throats.

I think Wolverine has smashed that barrier for all hero kind. Any given hero can be on any number of teams at any given team. Consider it Logan's Law.

Sorry for being dumb, but who is that girl who looks like Stargirl/Black Canary? Is that what Mockingbird looks like these days?

[Haquim]

Yeah, because it's not like any of those folks have fought against non street-level stuff before.

Am I not allowed to dislike this line up (IF it's a line up)?
Classic avengers line ups usually had a mix of street level people and heavy hitters. This line up is entirely composed by street level avengers.
Even new avengers had an ultra eavy hitter like Doc Strange most of the time, and then Ms Marvel defected.

Personally I like Bendis as a writer (most of the time) but this line up holds little appeal to me.

I'd really love to see Ken Hale in an Avengers team - not only would it raise the profile of Agents of Atlas - the guy is just a cool character. Jeff Parker writing it will be a bonus. Parker is going to be writing the Avengers soon or later - may as well be sooner.
