Take a first look at the artwork for Jonathan Hickman and Jerome Opeña’s upcoming Marvel NOW! Avengers title. If you read Uncanny X-Force you definitely know that Opeña is going to be bringing us one of the best looking Avengers books in a long time.

The greatest heroes in comics together on one unbeatable team! Now shipping twice a month, the Avengers “go large,” expanding their roster and their sphere of influence to a global and even interplanetary level. When Captain America puts out his call – who will answer? Big threats, big ideas, big idealism – these are the Avengers NOW!

Geekscape Comics: Line-Up Revealed For Marvel NOW! ‘Avengers’ Title

by Shawn Madden

Well, it appears we now know who is on the team of Jonathan Hickman and Jerome Opena’s upcoming Avengers title! So, from what we can see here is we’ve got Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Cannonball, Wolverine, Hulk, Captain Marvel, Falcon, Black Widow, Sunspot, Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, Hawkeye and well…I have no clue who that last one is. There appears to be a trend of mysterious background characters in these interlocking covers. I definitely had been wondering what they were going to do with the New Mutants squad with their series coming to an end in two issues. Check out the squad!

by Shawn Madden

For months we’ve been hearing about all the changes in creative teams post-AvX. The main one that Bendis would be leaving all ‘Avengers’ titles.

Well, Bleeding Cool is posting some interesting rumors floating around the ol’ water cooler.

-Rick Remender and Jeremy Opena on an Avengers book? New Avengers maybe?

-Mark Waid takes over Avengers Assemble?

-Jonathan Hickman and Essad Ribic on either Uncanny X-Men or the Avengers books that’s not the one Remender and Opena are on?

– Kieron Gillen and Greg Land on Iron Man.

– Matt Fraction and Salvador Larocca are sticking together… wherever they end up.

– Only the very best artists for a Brian Bendis cosmic relaunch…(Guardians Of The Galaxy…duh)

It also appears that Matt Fraction and Salvador Larocca may just be taking over Fantastic Four and Hickman and Esad Ribic will replace Bendis on Avengers post-AvX.
