pretty cool

Captian america's costume sometimes looks cool, but most of the time its weird...

so basically Avengers are just stealing the more cosmic teams thunder

ill pick it up.

That voice over narration is hilarious. " Hey! Hey intern come over here, and read this, and sound realy dramatic! Like Morgen Freeman, and Doctor Venture had a baby! That the voice we need!"

Avengers might fiannly be able to take on the Justice League now.

Sooo Hyperion is now in 616 ?

That is old Kentucky Hyperion and he has been there!

When they said 20 avengers they meant 20 avengers. I wonder if its Superior Spiderman on the team.

@Cafeterialoca: who ??

Captain America's new costume is so dumb looking

Avengers IN SPPPPPAAAAAAAACCCCEEE!!!

Cannonball... why!? Quick, it's not too late to fly away!!

So what I could catch, the roster includes:

Captain America, Falcon, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Wolverine, Spider Woman, Spider Man, Iron Man, Cannonball, Captain Marvel, Sunspot, and that's all! Who are the rest!?

Who are the guys next to Wolverine (the one in red, and the one with dreds), who's the woman and man to Steve's right, and who's the floating blue woman!?

@papad1992

The one in red is Hyperion either the original one from earth 712 or the one from Supreme Powers he's basically Superman if he had a attitude problem, The guy with the Dreds is Eden Fersi aka Manifold from Hickmans critically acclaim series Secret Warriors, He has similar powers to the mutant Gateway & was even trained by him, The glowing blue women is the new Captain Universe, A being with infinite powers who has no permanent owner (Spider-man at one point had the power as well as Juggernaut). There is another new teammate called Smasher who is a Shiar royal guard.

@papad1992: agree. I don't hate Cannonball, but for some reason him being on the Avengers seems a little weird..

dude with dreads: Eden Fesi aka Manifold

woman to right of Cap: Smasher (new female superhero)

man to right of Cap: Hyperion

Blue woman: captain universe?

guy in red next to Wolverine: not sure either

@Z3RO180:I think this is implying that it will happen later down the line in the book and that this takes place before that's going to happen.

I saw Hyperion from the Squadron Supreme there.With Thor that's some major heavy hitters on the Avengers!

So who is the yellow minotaur?

art looks amazing, and I'm kinda happy with Cap's new costume, even though it was obviously inspired by the movie

Looks great I say.

@Yung ANcient One: Uncanny Avengers is more of a team consisted of mutants and Avengers. Captain America feels like the Avengers need to have more support to mutantkind.

@Cafeterialoca: who ??

Space Ghost joke...nevermind.

But there's always been a 616 Hyperon.

@Yung ANcient One: I think Cap wants Havok to lead the Uncanny Avengers because he wants to show humanity that mutants can be heroes as well. There is still a lot of hate/fear to mutantkind in the Marvel Universe so I think Havok being a mutant will lead by example. As for Cannonball and Sunspot being on the main Avengers roster, I'm not sure how I feel about that. The purpose of Uncanny Avengers is to include mutants on the roster, not on the main Avengers roster. I don't hate, I just question it just like you. But I guess we will know soon when Avengers #1 comes out this week

Just read it, it's so good

lots of promise, keep the new characters coming and that last page is the first time i wanted to be Cap...it's the new uni!!!!

Just read it and I can say its got me anticipating the next issue. The art is top notch and the villains look very cool.

Cool thanks...

And I'm not that excited to see Cannonball here among these kind of heroes! He just doesn't fit in my opinion! Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Cannonball and the New Mutants as a whole, but he feels like an odd pick (him and Sunspot)! Put it's too quick to judge so we'll just have to wait and see!!

So the guy in the red next to Wolverine is Shang-Chi!

random question but who is ex-nilo and the garden are they some new supervialla aka the big bad of the week that everyone will forget about soon enough. Avengers villains do tend to be either very bad or very good.

Okay I have to say am intrigue by the Avengers line up with lots of power to take on any given situation. Impressive! Hope they will not muck it up!

If mutants are limited to the "integrated" squad that in fact negates the whole concept to begin with. Now the exact choice here seems weird, but if the X-men are going to still be a thing (with their own spinoffs of independents, rogus, and training cadres, in addition to the main squad) and the Uncanny team represents some of their more senior operatives to put a positive and powerful face to the mutant cause (with the loss of some of the biggest names of the X-squads to recent events), maybe some New Mutant alumni is all they could really spare.
