First Look: NEW AVENGERS #1 (Marvel NOW!)

Can't wait! Anyone know any good issues/arcs that will help me get to know Black Bolt?

Hrrrrrm

i thought black panther was against illuminate

?

I hate when I decide not to buy something and then I am finding out that it actually looks splendid...

There are no words to describe how awesome this title is going to be!

im loving the idea of this series more and more.

This is probably the one Marvel NOW! book I'm looking forward to. I've been pleasantly suprised with Hulk and Thor's new titles, but this one by far looks the most interesting. The New Avengers finally have a purpose and I love it.

First cover is Epic

What about Hank Pym?

If Cyke was representing Mutants instead of Beast this would probably be the perfect comic

I don't get the New Avengers title, but otherwise, I'll be all over this. Looks awesome.

Looks amazing!

Never read anything with the Illuminati in it... can't wait now.

Hickman/Epting. Who cares what characters are in it?

@RalfvdH: So you pretty much don't like any of them besides Beast. Got it.

Awwhh gawwwd I'm so excited.

Nice to see an avengers team without Spider-Man or Wolverine in it. Looks cool.

They need to start drawing Panther with his cape again. And I hope Hickman plays up Panther and his prep time. I want to see some Batgod in this.

I simply love seeing all these positive posts. Glad to see fans excited instead of being disappointed.

EDIT:

Plus I do believe to "change" the Illuminati to New Avengers is going to help them sell the comic way more.

I mean what was that thing that Denzel said about Blue Magic in "American Gangster"... I can't remember exactly, but I know he made a valid point.

@CircularLogic: there is cyclops...yeah i know hes looked at as a villain now but namor flooded wakanda & they forgave him quickly

Is Namor really qualified to be on this team? Marvel's Atlantis never struck me as a particularly powerful civilization. Also, I can name at least two people on the team who probably hate his guts.......

Thing is Namor is leader of his own nation, which gives him diplomatic immunity. And in Marvel, that counts for something, since Doctor Doom has stayed free under those same rules for over 50 years in Latveria. Cyclops is involved in too many stories where he's on the run right now, forgiving him this quickly would ruin the entire purpose of 3 on-going series (All New X-men, Uncanny X-Men, to an extent Uncanny Avengers among others)

"Sadly, as you can see, it has a $3.99 price tag. Looking at the art below, it looks worth it."

Umm... I see a 2.99 price tag..

Ha, could not agree more!

Epting is by far my favorite artist and I like Hickmans writing so I may need to get this even though I've never cared for the illuminati before

So does this mean characters like Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Mockingbird and Jessica Jones will go back to character purgatory?

Love the new concept of New Avengers, can't wait!

Dear Lord...the art is so damn GORGEOUS! But yeah, talk about awkwardness between T'Challa and Namor. Yeah, the $3.99 price is more than justified for how good that looks. Now whether the story helps to compliment that justification, we'll just have to see...

sausage fest team...

Art is amazing.

It makes so much sense that one of the most powerful beings in the Universe, who incidentally doesn't live on Earth, would follow the orders of a King of a vastly inferior nation, and not have his interpreter there. How is Black Bolt meant to communicate with everyone else?  
 
Hickman is terrible. This looks awful. 

@Markus_Langbourn: Aactually they came back to earth and given the brain trust present I am sure they will not have trouble translating. Also the Illuminati don't really have a traditional leader.

But I suppose everything needs at least one hater who does bother checking the facts

Not sure how bringing them back to earth qualifies as incompetent.

Surely there is a spell in Strange's SpellBook for telepathy.

Well I will agree that Research aint a strong point. They like continuity nice and loose

As well as power levels, characterisation, literary merit, intelligence and plot. Basically anything that makes for a decent story.

true especially during events absolutely terrible.

That art is just....gorgeous. and Hickman's writing it? This, I need to buy. Good thing, too, as I was a little diappointed with this last issue of Uncanny Avengers. I may wait until the Red Skull arc is over and then just jump over to this series.

Its not that I don't like the characters.... its just that I don't really care.... The Old 'New avengers' roster was way more interesting... This is a bit the old men club of Super heroes....

Hickman is a amazing writer and Epting is a amazing artist.... Hickman even made the Fantastic four interesting for me... but in that team you got Johnny and Ben to make it a bit lighter.

Now we got scientists, kings and magicians acting all high and mighty all the time... Like watching a couple politicians fighting crime in tights.... A bet Xavier would be on this team if he wasn't dead..... Only two characters I find a bit interesting is Iron Man and Beast... but in a different company.

Strange is the Sorcer Supreme once again?

i really hope that it is new reader friendly.....i am genuinly interested but do not have enough exposure to understand everything

And not one vagina were to be seen....

I love the idea of the members in this team.. I mean Black Panther and Dr. Strange? That right there is gold.

This.

By looking at the screen shots i am assuming this series will deal with alternate universes.

Damn it, why is my budget so limited? I want this so bad but I can't get it! Aw man :(

I wish the team kept "illuminati" name. Looks awesome! Beast, Black Bolt, Namor on the same team!!!

Is anybody else glad Dr. Strange is finally back to being Sorcerer Supreme

So.... the Illuminati?
