Wow. This looks amazing and there's not even any dialogue to go off of. Marvel is on point. People are underestimating Marvel.

Looks good

This looks fantastic! ANAD Marvel cannot come soon enough

Hope Blue Marvel finally gets the A level character treatment he deserves along with Hyperion

Liking the art

That team roster cover looks really cool. BTW, the girl fighting the Skrulls with Hyperion and other heroes...Is that Power Princess?

I like it a lot.

Will this be a six issue series or will there be actually six separate Avenger titles?

Looks promising.

Looking very, very good.

While the art looks great, none of the concepts have really grabbed me except for maybe Robinson's Squadron Supreme. Hopefully that will change as we get closer to the date.

@mark_stephen: It's mentioned in the text.

Ehh, since when has Galactus been an Avenger?

@sinikettu said:

Well, the first two story arc of Ultimates are apparently about the team trying to stop Galactus, but with the writer stating that that will last longer than anyone might expect yet and him being on the cover here... He is probably gonna be a member of some kind.

Edit: I don't think the preview pages for all-new and a-force are very well chosen.

This looks really good. Maybe the ANAD Marvel universe won't be that bad. I check out this Ultimates, Doctor Strange, and Squadron Supreme.

6 different Avenger titles. They are really going to do to the Avengers what they did to the X-men; super saturate and run the franchise into the ground.

Some of these stories might be good. Like the artwork so far.

Yep

I'd still like to know which "Human Torch" that is on the Uncanny Avengers. We already know Johnny Storm is in the Uncanny Inhumans, so is he pulling double duty? We also know Inferno is in Uncanny Inhumans. I'm hopeful it's Jim Hammond but I havent seen it confirmed anywhere yet.

Looks awesome! Marvel is killing my wallet

Deadpool being an Avenger (even if he is in an Avengers title not even a member) is just ugh.

All New, All Ethnic, and Ultimates have my attention. That's about it.

@rabumalal: Well he was a member of the great lakes avenger iirc.

I don't know Avengers are ultimately just superhero teams. Does it really make that big a difference if we have Defenders, Invaders, Avengers, Secret Warriors or New Avengers, Uncanny Avengers, all-new all-different mighty avengers, secret avengers. Unlike with X-Men they don't all have the mutant thematics and mostly use established characters rather than making a billion new mutants for every book.

@sinikettu: haven't read it but should suck as well :D Deadpool isn't Avengers type.

@kritikalmassx: I do believe that is the Zarda from the Ultimate universe. In the cover for Squadron Supreme #1 that has been previewed she is in Warrior Woman gear (from Squadron Sinister series) so I'm not sure what they are going to do with that angel?

maybe she will switch her look?

Is that Wonderman, Vision, Wiccan and Scarlet Witch in the same comic book series...?! Awesome! I just hope that they reveal that the Maximoff twins are still mutants or that the Higher Evolutionary atleast used Magneto's blood to experiment on them...

Used to be a difference between the teams. The FF was different from the Avengers who were different from the Defenders. Now they are like legos.

Anything would be a refreshing change to this crap secret wars event that has gone on WAAAAAAAY TOO LONG.

i really want to get excited for all this but i just feel so... underwhelmed by it all

But how can you say the Avenger teams now are all the same given that none of them is out yet? And the last Secret Avengers Team was hardly the same as Mighty Avengers or New Avengers.

Looks good, especially that Ultimates art. Can someone tell me who the Katana looking woman is?

Looks good.

I'm catching up with Avengers World and frankly, I hope one of those series will be like it : something fun, with huge scales, banter, bad guys, evil aliens/sorcerers/robots, spies, legacy heroes, new heroes !

New Avengers might fit the bill. It actually spins out of an Avengers World issue.

No. The issue contains six stories all leading into different books. Vision is on All-New All-Different, Wiccan on New and Wonderman and Scarlet Witch(she gets a solo title) aren't on any of the teams.

Wow actually looks good. I'm just missing Thor, Hulk, and Wolverine. Altleast Deadpool and Spiderman are still themselves. Glad they're giving Hyperion more spotlight now. Can't wait to get my hands on them. Who's the girl with the star sweater and short shorts?

Deadpool,an Avenger?cant wait.

Miss America overrated Mary Sue extraordinary and nonsensical Wonder Woman rippoff that will hopefully gain something resembling an actual personality now that someone that isn't Kieron Gillen is writing her for more than one issue.

Nova, Richard Rider is in the 4th scan. I'm intrigued now.

I know me too! I thought he was dead. I really hope MU uses him more now. Like in Annihilation.

Oh okay thanks, looks interesting.

!!!!!

Please let him be back... PLEASE

Might not be all of the same -though with six teams I think they'll have to bring some super villains out of retirement to keep them all busy- but they'll still all be Avenger teams. The dynamic used to be the X-men: outlaws, the Fantastic Four: family and adventurers, the Defenders: just get together when needed or hung out together(until they became Avengers light), the Avengers: formal structure and government sanctioned menace handlers. Now they'll be 6 Avenger teams, no Defenders, no Fantastic Four and I don't know about the X-men. At this point everyone in the mu is either an Avenger or an X-men.

@mark_stephen: what you said. It's the same reason I didn't read JLU. There's already a Justice league. And that was only two teams.

This is six. It's flabbergasting. Wouldn't know how to keep up. But I'm sure they'll be a good read. It's just the principle of things

Correct me if I'm wrong but,...does this not look like a manga?

Looking good

Thor Odinson ????? :(

@titing2101: In The Mighty Thor book.

@mark_stephen said:

The All-New All-Different Avengers were stated to only band together when a threat is at hand. The New Avengers are super science superhero team that operates internationally in conflict with the government. Ultimates operate with Galactus level threats in outer space. Uncanny Avengers are a mutant and inhuman problem oriented team. Squadron Supreme are... well the Justice League. A-Force... no idea why the team suddenly exists in the main universe maybe Carol sees the Secret Wars team and likes the idea.

The problem with the x-men being so oversaturated is indeed that they were all the outcasts, a message that might already get lost if half the books Marvel brings out are about these outcasts and the majority of Marvel characters are mutants and the outcasts are actually the majority. Avengers are at this point just the most marketable name to give a superhero team and actually only three of these six books are called Avengers.

More similiar to eighties artwork, but comic and manga art have influenced one another for years now some styles are bound to look close these days.
