So it's coming out in January eh? I thought it was gonna be released in December along with the main Avengers book - looks like I was wrong lol.

So Hickman gets not one but two Avengers books. Don't know how I feel about that. I was hoping Aaron would get an Avengers book, bit those chances look slim. Wonder what else gets announced before Comicon?

[Desaad]

He really got THREE Avengers books, because he's writing a bi weekly Avengers and then New.

Oh, that Epting variant cover gives me hope that maybe we'll see Herc, Sersei and Black Knight back on at least one team!

Please?

Judging by the cover artwork provided, could they pick a less interesting cast of characters for this book?

Damn you CBR. I thought that headline was saying "[Frank] Quitely Joins Marvel NOW Relaunch."

As long as theirs no street level heroes on the team.

[Exo]

I didn't read any of that, but (judging by the costumes) this be time-traveling Avengers?

We're back in the 90's after AvX?

Or is it the 80's?

I love Hickman but why have him write 2 different Avengers books, one of which is bi-weekly?

Anyone else finding that they're throwing too many different terms around: Marvel Now, Re-Evolution etc. It's a bit garbled.

It's not a cover, just a hero initiative thing Epting did.

Aaron COULD get the Secret Avengers book. As far as I know Remender is not doing Secret Avengers now because of Uncanny Avengers.

Of course he probably won't but well Secret is the only available Avengers book that he could do as far as I know. As for Comic Con I wonder what'll be announced myself (unless it's just more info about what we already know lol)

As long as theirs no street level heroes on the team.

There probably will be imo.

People said the same thing about Cap wanda Qicksilver, and Hawkeye. So shut up.

It's not a cover for this book, it's a variant for another, and that is a perfectly interesting, more interesting to me, cast of characters we've not seen be explored in ages.

I'd rather see some of them again than some of the obvious characters or the 'already in at least 28 other books' characters
