Marvel Announces NEW AVENGERS Comic, Reveals Art and Lineup

Recently, Marvel has been making a lot of changes with Secret Wars going on, and it's pretty fantastic to watch it all go down. Imagine multiple alternate worlds all on one planet controlled and ruled by God Doom. It's everything I've ever wanted. Well, Marvel has already been planning what takes place after Secret Wars and how everything is going to try to fit back to normal. One of those pieces will be New Avengers.  

New Avengers will be a team of Avengers operating under AIM. Not Advance Idea Mechanics, but Avengers Idea Mechanics! It will be a team run by Sunspot, a mutant with the ability to absorb and manipulate solar power. He's also recently become pretty stinking rich. He has gathered his own group of heroes to lead into a new future. They consist of Songbird, who can create solid structures out of soundwaves; Wiccan, a magic sorcerer and magic child of Scarlet Witch; Hulkling, a teenage skrull who fights on the humans' side; Squirrel Girl, a mutant with the ability to talk to squirrels; and Hawkeye, bow and arrow guy.  

I'm personally excited about this new team of heroes. It's not your usual team that you'd pick, and there will be a lot of interesting personalities amongst them, all to create interesting stories. My personal favorite, Songbird, has been gone for awhile, so it's good to see her back in comics. The writer is Al Ewing and the artist is Gerardo Sandoval. It looks incredibly promising. Check out an interview with the makers at the Marvel website.
