I'm excited for this, but very hesitantly seeing as its written by Bendis. And whats up with Stark on the team? I get that he's popular and will help the title sell, but I just see him clashing with Quill and taking the focus away from other members. And you know he's still going to be in at least one Avengers book as well has his solo title. I'm sorry, but Guardians is a full time gig, I don't really like him splitting time on this.

And if they're positive they only need one green chick they should have gone with Mantis over Gamora. She's always been such a larger part of this embodiment of guardians, even before they were the guardians. Gamora is cool and all, but Drax kind of already does what she does.

At least the promo pic for the movie has Star-Lord in his helmet, even if they aren't all wearing the awesome matching uniforms. So at least we have that.

Cap's shield is supposed to be unbreakable, yet it gets broken. And when the story calls for it I really don't care. Continuity is great and one of the reason's I like marvel. At the same time, the story comes first.

Don't think of it as a knock towards Thor, think of it as something new. With 50+ plus years of continuity, there isn't much new that can happen with the marvel U. So maybe its ok if Ock takes over Parker's body, maybe its ok if the Avengers start working more with the X-Men. And just maybe its ok that Hulk is able to lift Mjolnir if the occasion calls for it.

As far as an the x-couple that Marvel needs to get back together and preserve, I feel that it should be Rogue and Gambit. They've both been through so much but still, in a way, care for each other. If they were able to stay together, it would show that, no matter what happens, you can still maintain a relationship. Something that, as far as x-books go, has not really been shown.

I agree that Rogue and Gambit's relationship would have still survived if only Marvel just quit splitting them up. It would be nice for an X-Men couple to actually stay together no matter what happens. Even though to be fair, Joss Whedon portrayed Kitty and Colossus' relationship much better than the later writers ever did since so much had happened between these two in his run, but at the end, they still remained together (although Kitty gets sent in a bullet, but that's a different story).

True, but Joss Whedon could make any couple work. Kitty and Colossus could have been great, but Piotr just wasn't ready for reasons I've already stated.

Unfortunately, Gambit has his own solo right now that is pretty good, and Rouge is in Uncanny Avengers, which looks like it could actually be pretty good, if it ever gets going. If either of these titles end, then the other should join the remaining book. But at least in my eyes, its about time that Marvel respects a mutant relationship as much as they do Reed and Sue. It shouldn't be a new couple, for respect of the actual readers. And the only couple I can see working out anymore is Rogue and Gambit.

I definitely agree with this! I think if Colossus gets over catering towards Magik so much, maybe we might see him actually try to get Kitty back no matter what, which would be really interesting to see! As for Marvel respecting a mutant relationship, I think they really need to get some more successful couples in the X-Men universe just so they can show that Reed and Sue shouldn't be the only successful couple in the Marvel Universe.

I agree that now that there is a definitive split between Magik and Colossus that its great time for Colossus to pursue an actual relationship. Though I do like Cable more than either character, so I am willing to wait if it truly is Kitty he goes for. But one thing that has been denied fans is a mutant relationship that can last through the all the stress and turmoil of all that being a mutant brings to the table.

Think about it. Writers are willing to commit to a boy scout becoming a hardened soldier, yet they are still not ready to commit to, through all the pain mutant kind has endured, at least an ounce of lasting happiness can live on.

@Rickbarry: The premise of Kitty and Piotr's split itself was not forced. It was that in the end, Colossus, at then end of their relationship showed that he was willing to do whatever he had to in order to save Illyana more harm, regardless of his what it meant with his relationship with Kitty. To me, it was honorable but it showed that, at the time, he was not truly available for a relationship. Kitty just happened to be the victim.

I like the idea of this book, and I really like most of the team. Aside from the awesome New Avengers title that had to end because of this one, this is the best idea for a new New Avengers.

But at least the first issue is written in the perspective of BP, who I normally like. But he's willing to work with Namor, another character I really like, yet ended his marriage with Storm. Because of war that Namor started and Storm had nothing to do with. I know that it was only due to bad writing, but you have to understand why I lose respect for BP in this. At least I have some Dr. Strange to look forward with.

I want Rogue and Gambit. Probably just the TAS fanboy speaking through though.Never will happen but its the only old relationship I want back.

I like Kitty and Colossus, but when they were together Colossus always seemed more interested in Magik. Not that he shouldn't, its just its hard to start a new life with a new person when you are still attached to an old one. Idk, maybe its time for them to try again.

Storm and BP would be alright if they can do it right. Never been that excited for two of Marvel's premier black characters falling for each other. But at the same time I wasn't cool with how they broke up either.

As for Scott...Jean should stay dead because if she comes back she would only be a plot device. Although supposedly, with "No more Phoenix Force," she technically would have the chance to come back and just be Jean Grey again. I just think that Jean cheated death too many times even for comic books, and the PF has been way over used. And Emma, well I just would rather see her with Namor.

But lets be fair here. The only Marvel couple that will ever last is Reed and Sue Richards. And that is only because their relationship is integral to their characters. They were created together and so they will stay. As for everybody else, its really only a matter of time before a writer who preferred a previous coupling will come along and tear them apart. Although, with Marvel taking a stand on issues such as gay marriage and even smoking, it would be nice to see one of the old school mutant couples getting married with Marvel basically saying, "Hey do what ever you want to shake things up between them, but they stay together."

I'm just upset that I've seen more of the team together in Cable & X-Force than in Uncanny Avengers. Seriously, Delays wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't already two on the second two issues. The art actually needs to look like it took a little bit extra time as well. Cassaday has been nothing but inconsistent on these two issues.

I think this story has crazy potential, but I could also see it being canceled fairly quickly because Marvel loses all forward momentum on it.

Wouldn't work right now. Best bet Felicia has would be another mini series to gain more fans that would eventually be willing to drop money for an ongoing. More cameos to build a larger fanbase would work as well. There just isn't enough interest right now for enough people to buy a book staring a fairly obscure character. Maybe if it was written by a well known writer, but with most of the heavy hitters currently tied up in bigger projects, I just don't see that either.

Not saying it would be a bad idea. I mean, who would have thought that Hawkeye would be one of the best new books this year? But even that was only possible because of the explosion of new exposure that Cliff received from the Avengers movie. A Black Cat ongoing would have to be executed as perfectly as Hawkeye is now. And even then, she would need a similar boost in popularity before it would even make sense for Marvel to try it.

Deathstroke. Deadpool was originally created as a parody of sorts.

However, I feel that Deadpool has changed so much since then that it really comes down to the whole Captain America/Batman situation. They are different characters targeted for slightly different audiences. For the most part, Marvel people are going to like Deadpool while DC people are going to like Deathstroke. There is just no getting around that.
