Giga GASP! Looks good! I didn't expect this coming!

[Blade X]

I'll pass on this one.

[ThunderWolf!!!]

Funniest title ever.

[Vivica Kang]

And...

"So she's a female, berserker, bird person with crazy hair, which means she's awesome."

I love that attitude.

Plus she's a Shi'ar! You never know what they have up their sleeves.

[Come To Deathstrike]

Druid AND Nekra? Daaaaamn.

Although that druid design is my least favourite of the two.

[protege]

I'm okay with this, as long as they're not zombies. Be nice if some of them returned to the land of the living, though..

[BartonisHawkeye88]

VISION, MAR-VELL, AND SWORDSMAN!?? I think I'm gonna faint.

Holy ****...

Here's to hoping he follows through and brings back Jack of Hearts...
also Scott Lang and Janet Van Dyne, pretty please!

[redvector]

I wouldn't be surprised if after this Chaos War event one or more of these "Dead" Avengers comes back to the land of the living.

[Comet Man]

I wouldn't be surprised if after this Chaos War event one or more of these "Dead" Avengers comes back to the land of the living.

Oh my God, if only! All I can do is hope and pray for that to happen.

I can't wait to get my hands on this! I love all of these characters. This, too, will be my favorite Avengers book while it's out.

[blehbeh]

You know I'm a fan of just about every style of comic art, and it's rare I go out of my way to say I dislike a comic book artist....

But after years of reflection I'd have to say that Grummett is my least favorite artist in the industry.

However, Fred+Van+Lente=gold.

[Shadey10]

Man I thought T'Challa and/or Storm was going to make Fred's avengers team. Instead it's just some dead former avengers

I will not be getting this.

[hysang]

I hope the old-school Vision comes back. There's no reason you can't have two Visions running around. We have two Caps and for awhile had two Hawkeyes.

I hope they don't destroy the Microverse or something....

[Peter F.]

I don't think anyone guessed this.

So awesome.

Kinda sad that Janet Van Dyne and Scott Lang aren't in this.

[Byzantine]

I don't think anyone guessed this.

So awesome.

Kinda sad that Janet Van Dyne and Scott Lang aren't in this.

The big reveal at the end of Mighty Avengers was that Janet wasn't dead, only that she was bound to the underverse by Thor so that she wouldn't rupture from the Skrull bomb thing. Hank's trying to saver her.
