Avengers Vs. Atlas, Which Team Will Win In January?

Get ready for the battle of the "A"-teams.

Marvel has revealed the covers to the four issue mini-series Avengers Vs. Atlas.  The first issue is on sale on January 6, 2010.  It will be written by Jeff Parker with pencils by Gabriel Hardman.  As you can see, the covers will be by Humberto Ramos.  The four covers make one nice big image:

I know there's some Agents of Atlas fans roaming around here.  Looking at this image suggests this most likely isn't happening in the current continuity.  When spacetime is being eroded, the Agents turn to the Avengers to help them.  What ends up happening is they come across an earlier version of the team.
 
While I like the idea of the two teams coming together, I'm left wondering how "important" this mini-series will be.  If the Agents are working with a past version of the Avengers, it doesn't seem like there would be any significant outcomes from this comic.  That leaves me wondering how crucial it would be to pick up this series.
 
What do you think?  Are the Agents of Atlas cool enough to make this mini-series worth getting?  Jeff Parker is on board and has been guiding them for some time now.  Are you digging the Humberto Ramos covers?
