by Shawn Madden

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!

Geekscape Comics: Uncanny…Avengers?!

by Shawn Madden

Earlier this month it was rumored we would be getting another Avengers title after AvX and the rumor was that it would be called ‘Astonishing Avengers’ and would be replacing ‘Secret Avengers’. Now it’s appearing that the name has been changed to ‘Uncanny Avengers’. The new title by Rick Remender and Jerome Opena will seem to throw a little more mutant on the team.

“Starring Wolverine and Captain America, running an Avengers team together, with Cap in a more movie-friendly costume. And something that is very much a post Avengers Vs X-Men comic…”

I’m guessing this means that the sides are going to getting split even more than they were after Schism. Most likely more mutants returning to Utopia. But who knows what Marvel has up their sleeve? Guess we will find out soon enough.
