I'd be down for Waid, Aaron or Gillen on Avengers. I assume Fraction is done with Marvel after Hawkeye cause he's got no other books on the horizon that we know of now that Soule took over Inhuman.

What do you think are the chances they try to do West Coast Avengers again? With Iron Man being there I wouldn't be surprised.

Probably slim if the reason that Tony is on the West Coast is because he's pissed off all the other heroes.

Maybe I didn't read enough material but it says about adding Scarlet Witch and Medusa and Angela as example. I like the team, more women, but hope it'll somehow grow out of Hickman's model. He had some awesome characters.

There's a picture floating around with Angela, the new big three, a fire inhuman dude, Scarlet Witch and people I'm forgetting. It does look like the titular team.

Edit: as for my earlier worries about this having an impact on Hickman's stuff, a previously solicited cover for Avengers did feature Falcon Cap and the god previously known as Thor. So Hickman will apparently take that into account.

The timeline between Remender's Cap, Hickman's titles and Original Sin will be fun to work out. I guess Steve will turn old in Avengers after the current time travel shenanigans.

What would be the point? Most of the core avengers can get around the world in minutes, and it's not like Stark cares about eradicating drug cartels.

Probably because of too much superhero congestion in NYC. Making the same mistake in LA would be a terrible idea.

But then again, moving only a handful out there with no interaction probably leads books to an early death. Like Bendis' Moon Knight.

The solution is to have cyclical miniseries based around c-listers

That'll be the day.
I'd read a book about C-list Avengers based in San Francisco, their presence would drive up prices in the area and they would end up having their Avengers bus blocked by protestors so they'd miss missions and stuff.

Then again, that sounds more like Superior Foes. I guess I'd just like a lovely Avengers book, like Nextwave.

That image is not the new Avengers Now! Team. It's an image showing what characters will be important in that period.

Marvel released a similar image for The Heroic age that everyone thought was the new team at first but had characters like Thing and Gorilla Man that ended up not being in Avengers.

Not since the SHRA was thrown out. I think some of the Initiative kids decided to keep doing the hero schtick but most quit and/or faded into character obscurity. The former Camp Hammond is currently being used as a SHIELD base run by, ironically, Jim Hammond.

So pretty. I haven't picked up any of the other 100th Anniversary issues, but when I saw Stokoe was on art/writing, I had to have it. It is kind of a painful tease at what would be one crazy Avengers run. The 'next issue' blurb for a comic I want immediately, but isn't coming, is kind of mean.

Seriously. They should just make this into an ongoing, right from this starting point. Have everything be in media res, and keep dropping references to stuff that don't exist. It's playing my imagination like a piano.
