Finally, A New New Avenger (Sort Of)

Snap! Didn't see that coming.
 
Wish they would have updated her costume, though...or something.

okay now just add Dr. Voodoo, Noh-Varr (why not) and another fresh face (Songbird please ^_^)  and this team won't look to bad 
 

Saw it being her, Ms. Marvel or Mockingbird. No surprise there really. Now, the next two may be some new heroes or something, since they are running out of room.

Dr. Voodoo would be a good addition since Strange was in the old one aswell.

Please add Ghost Rider....

both? ;P

" both? ;P "

I'd like to see Dare Devil as a New Avenger.

Yeah, Daredevil and Iron Fist will probably be one with another character. Maybe Dr. Voodoo.

I see Daredevil being a New Avengers enemy somewhere down the line with his construction of Shadowland and running the Hand.

1. She looks pissed 
 
2. It's cool to really have someone new for a change 
 
3.  Yeah, who IS going to take care of that kid?

I like this one. Of course, it won't make me buy the comic.

I'm not too excited about Bendis manning another Avengers book, but this
does give me hope that Mighty could be looking at a relaunch then in June
as well.
 
@iLLituracy:
agreed. Daredevil is supposed to be directly opposed to Luke Cage in Shadowland
so its highly unlikely he would be in the roster.

Who'll take care of the kid? Ms.Marvel since she isn't on any Avengers team lol...seriously Jessica's mom probably just like during Civil War.
 
I'm glad someone different is there even if it is fairly obvious to have her on the team.

So angry! I like it.

so...
Avengers The Initiative>Avengers Academy (?)
?>Avengers
Dark Avengers>Secret Avengers
New Avengers>New Avengers
Thunderbolts>Thunderbolts
Mighty> ?
 
well, so much for " big changes" and condensed titles. lol.

Big changes kinda, condensed titles no. Both make me happy. 
 
You've got people returning to the Avengers after years, people returning to past identities, the founders seemingly back together. Not changes so much as return to status quo but since it has been a number of years that is a change. We'll see how different the teams are going to be from their current versions. They're all independent now, maybe they'll be working together now or at least each have their own raison d'etre.

 
Seeing Jewel here reinforces my idea that the 'New' in 'New Avengers' means New York. They seem to be the street level New York types while the other Avengers could go anywhere.

"I strive to better myself" ... hmm, that sounds kind of familiar ...
 
 

I have no idea who that is

""I strive to better myself" ... hmm, that sounds kind of familiar ...
 
 

"I try to be my best," anyone? ---> "

Yayyy Jessica Jones!
No purple hair? :(

 @CATMANEXE: Avengers Academy is Young Avengers and Avengers Initiative rolled into one. I agree with you. They seem to have diluted it. 
 
As for roles 
 
Avengers- Big fighter of world level threats 
NA- street level fighter 
AA- training for new heroes under old heroes. Most likely where Pym will be place. 
SA- Black op team most likely led by Steve

" @PrinceIMC:  kind of seemed like a reply to my comment, and i got to disagree. Iron Man, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Bucky, Cap, Hawkeye, Luke Cage, Spider-Woman, Jessica Jones, Thor, ect. I dont see whats new with that, or whereas they are "returning after years", unless one hasnt read any Avengers books in years than yeah.lol. this is just  renumbering with a different theme. "

rosters Herioc Age
 
Avengers = Bucky, Clint, Spider-Woman, Iron Man (also staring Spider-Man, Wolverine, ect) 
http://marvel.com/news/all.11152.i_am_an_avenger
New Avengers = Luke Cage, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Jewel  
http://marvel.com/news/all.11447.i_am_a_new_avenger
(now written by Brain Bendis)???

Fantastic Four= same as always 
http://marvel.com/news/all.11312.the_heroic_age~colon~_fantastic_four
Atlas= same as Agents of Atlas
http://marvel.com/news/all.11221.the_heroic_age~colon~_atlas 

the theme. the hero's are sort of in charge, the villains are on the run. 

and so on. this isnt a change from whats been going on since the release of New Avengers #1

Not very impressed with these New Avengers... they're pretty much just retreads.

She's not New.She's been a New Avenger since Cage married her.She just wasn't active until Secret Invasion.

" She's not New.She's been a New Avenger since Cage married her.She just wasn't active until Secret Invasion. "

First we get an uninteresting character that Bendis has been shoving in our faces for years now. Now we get his uninteresting wife...

"@PrinceIMC:   Thor used to be with the Avengers. a change would be if he joined a team he hadnt. he's also been teamed up with them all year now off and on. same with Clint. change was him in the Ronin costume. the same is him in the Hawkeye one. and either way he's been there. many of the official members have already been declared actually, theres a new thread here about this everyday. nothing has changed.New Avengers is now titled Avengers, Luke is switched out for Thor, and Iron man is back on board.sorry, im not with you here. this is the same stuff ive been reading since New Avengers #1. i already know about there new status, which is the same as their status before Dark Reign (1 year ago). Avenegrs Initiative is now titled differently, and stars the same characters. the New Avengers team is alreadbeing filled by memebers of the same New Avengers team that was there in the first place. the books havent been focusing on "random" characters, theyve been focusing on these same ones.there hasnt been not only a big change, there just hasnt been any. marvel is hyping this to sell books.nothing more, nothing less. are you even reading these books? "

Thor hasn't been with the Avengers since Disassembled which was what 7 years ago? He's been seen with Steve and Tony but not the Avengers. Clint Barton hasn't been Hawkeye since Disassembled which again was 7 years ago. He's been there yes but it is a change to him to change back to his previous identity. Change doesn't just mean no previous Avengers and all new members who haven't been Avengers before. Tony's been on the run since Osborn took over, Cap's been dead, Hank Pym's been running his team of Avengers (none of whom have been announced as Avengers in the heroic age that I've seen). How do you know that its going to be the same just because it has the same characters? The X-Men are very different since they moved to California though they had the same members. 
 
For the past few years they've been fighting amongst themselves, aliens and Osborn's forces. After Seige that isn't going to be the case, they get to be heroes again. I didnt say random characters I said they've been running around randomly, how many headquarters have they had? They're on the run. That's going to change. An Avengers roster is around 7 or 8 members, for each team they've announced 5 right? They still haven't said who the Secret Avengers are and I don't remember anything official about who's going to be in the Avengers Academy, where it'll be, who's in charge other than theories. It seems the main Avengers are going to go back to a pre-Disassembled state, which may not be a huge change over the whole of Avengers history but is a change since the past few years.

I guess I'm just seeing how things can be different and you're just seeing what apparently isn't changing.

This makes sense.  I didn't feel too shocked when the news came out that Jessica was on the team.  I for one wouldn't mind seeing her get a new costume and name change.  I think it would be cool if she did something similar to Cage and went by her name with more of a civilian look.

party pooper "

shouldn't she be in DD's district?

" shouldn't she be in DD's district? "

Be happy, at least in your imagination you now have th one time oppurtunity to hope where it is :D
 
Or she might end up as a secret plot device, maybe even... red she-hulk? LOL

Awesome ^_^

Soo...I guess all the cool stuff that's happened in Mighty Avengers is wasted now?

" Not that I'm complaining, but I thought that with this Heroic Age, they were going to bring it back to 1 Avengers team. You know, simplify things. They were talking about how Disassembled was the splitting of Avengers and in the end of all these events, it was them reuniting. With Avengers, Secret Avengers, more New Avengers, and Avengers Academy, it kind of takes away from the all important return of Earth's Mightiest Heroes, in my opinion. The Avengers concept has become saturated.   I'm still a fan of the books, the stories, and the heroes, I just thought that after Siege, they were going back to basics by having 1 Avengers team. And I guess Luke Cage will be in New Avengers and Thunderbolts? "

I don't think Cage will be the leader of both teams. I think someone else will be the leader of NA or hope so. 

I love the current New Avengers series, it's had it problems, but it's still good. I wish they wouldn't go back to #1, what's the point of that? Why not just keep going from issue 64? Still, I like Jessic Jones, I'm glad to see Bendis doing more with her.
