See this is what I was waiting for. A compromise to the result of the civilwar. I hope Xavier gets to be a part of this book..if he isn’t killed off.
Hmmm…I’m definitely on board with Gage and McKone. I’m hoping this book features some Young Avengers and former New Warriors, if they aren’t planning to revamp that title again…
Hm… and here I was thinking that the revival of the adjective free Avengers spinning out of the cancelation of Mighty and New would result in fewer Avengers books… silly me.
Okay, pretty soon we’re gonna have to start a “How many Avengers titles are there gonna be anyways??” poll.

2. Secret Avengers
3. New Avengers

I’m not all that up to date on current Avengers stuff…but is this supposed to be like a revamp of Avengers: The Initiative? Or is it something totally unrelated?
Hey speaking of young super heroes, what happened to the Runaways?
This is an awful catchphrase, whats next, “I’m gonna kill ya to death if you don’t die from me killin ya ta death first!”?
