Creative changes? Relaunch? What's next for the the Avengers?

[BrotherUnitNo_4]

If AvX begins in April and ends in Sept, there's very little time to get the Ultron Wars in before the end of 2012. That's not including a #0, Alpha or Oemga issuefor AvX if they throw one in. That's just too narrow of a window assuming the Ultron Wars will be more than 3-4 issues which it will more than likely be.

Double-shipping.

I would love to see them keep the three team format. I would only have them change NA and see them relaunch west cost. Each book would have it' own feel. The big guys hand out in NY and LA. If they still had them under shield that's fine. A two cost team to me would better show this. Then you would have secret for the wet works stuff. Each book to have a different feel and writer.
Avengers -Hickmen
W.C. -Slots
Secret -Brubaker

I would also love to see icons stay where they should put wolverine and thing back where they belong.

Agree with alot of what you said; I would love to see a West Coast title relaunched with the NA team, minus Luke Cage and his entourage and Wolverine who, if they have to stay on the Avengers in some capacity, would work better in SA I think. I have to say it's kind of ironic for me that Bendis has just announced he's leaving the franchise seeing as how this is probably the first time since he's been involved with the books that I actually like both of his team rosters(well, for the most part; still don't like Cage and Wolverine on any Avengers team and I'm not crazy about the Protector on the main title but otherwise I'm pretty much good with everybody else).

AvX is a maxiseries. Ultron War (and Drumm of Revenge, come to think of it) can happen concurrently in the Avengers title, the same way Marvel just did with Fear Itself, Spider-Island, The Children's Crusade and Schism.

And, yeah, double shipping.

It would be karmic justice if his endgame were messed up by a crossover event.

Agreed

[love2beyou]

As we all know Bendis is leaving the Avengers in 2012. So whom do you want as the new writer. Im definitely leaning towards giving Mark Waid the job.

shortlist:

Geoff Johns

Ed Brubaker

Joe Casey


i would say Matt Fraction but i would like him to put the Defenders back on the map, first. similarly, Gage would be my choice if he weren't essential to the Avengers teen titles.

[Earth2Invincible]

Mark Waid.
Christos Gage.

[PympMyQuinjet]

Mark Waid on Avengers, Jeff Parker on New Avengers please.

[Sighphi]

Sighphi. They need to keep stuff away from the Architects.
There hasn't been one good thing from them since they got that name.

[UKFan]

Hickman by far, he can write the cosmos-sweeping adventures that used to be the Avengers' bread and butter.

[Greg Anderson]

Christopher Priest

[Specimen 297]

Mark Waid
Christopher Yost
Christos Gage
Dan Slott
Greg Pak & Fred Van Lente
Kieron Gillen
Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning
Joe Casey
Matt Fraction
Jeff Parker
Peter David
Robert Kirkman

Yost or Waid are the ones I'm rooting for... they could both bring back "classic Avengers" while keeping it appealing to the ones who jumped on with Bendis.

[Blind pugh]

Joe Casey

Seconded, I loved his work on all the prequel minis & I'd like to see the Avengers take on his new Zodiac. I think he could do some really interesting things with the book.

Gage would be my choice if he weren't essential to the Avengers teen titles.

Yeah I think Gage is essential to Academy & I'm enjoying it too much to lose it.

If New Avengers is going to carry on then I'd like to see Rucka given a shot at it if he's interested.
