A New Creative Team and New Members Headed to UNCANNY AVENGERS

There's always been an interesting mix of characters but how do you explain...Deadpool?

We're starting to have a lot to look forward to after Secret Wars. On the one hand, it's going to be a shame to see the current UNCANNY AVENGERS team have to go their separate ways. They basically only had one mission together in the current series. Cut to "8 months later" after Secret Wars, we're seeing a very different team AND a different creative team.

The new UNCANNY AVENGERS will be written by Gerry Duggan with art by Ryan Stegman. That is reason enough to get me excited about this new series.

Looking at the team, we have some familiar returning members like Quicksilver, Doctor/Brother Voodoo, Rogue, and Captain America Steve Rogers (from the previous Avengers Unity Squad).

Spider-Man is an interesting addition but he has been an Avenger before so it fits. It is curious to note he's wearing his old regular costume and not the one with the greenish glowing spider seen in the promo shot for AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1.

I'm not sure who the lady with the pony tail is. Any thoughts? Am I blanking out or is she new?

Is that Jim Hammond? Johnny Storm is going to be busy with the Inhumans. It's possible for him to be on two different teams (since there's no sign of a Fantastic Four) but Johnny doesn't seem to have Wolverine's ability to be on numerous teams at once.

Then there's Deadpool. What the heck is he doing here?!? Since it's Duggan writing him, I'm sold on the idea. He wrote some great moments between the two in the previous DEADPOOL series. It's going to make things nice and awkward and the right moments. Heaven help the team having both Deadpool and Spider-Man in the same room. It's going to be a battle of the witty/annoying banter.

Thoughts on this roster and creative team?
