The Trailblazer

You can tell it's a homeage-tribute to the original team just by looking at it.
Plus it's Bendis' last issue, and the last issue the team as it originally was will be together again...or not together again. So it's only natural.

Just, if their not going to put Natasha on it, make it because it's something incredibly symbolic for her that she is not on the cover.
(plus, to further my theory above, the end of MA #19 reads: "Next Issue: REMBRANCE"
Which is probably for Janet & the original MA team.)

"Maybe she's already moved on to the next team."

"Why would the New Warriors be put on the Avengers teams?"

Why not? What else are they going to do if they don't have a comic?"

I just think they should've put ALL the founding members of the MA in there. They all would care, and I'm SURE they could've put Natasha in there. There's no doubt about that.

Natasha and Janet are good enough friends it seems. I think she'd care if her good friend died or got hurt. Ya know?

Either way. Apparently the Avengers on the cover to #20, are reaching out to a falling Wasp. My concern for the cover, is that Black Widow is not present onthe cover at all. Either that means something, or they need to start learning that when you do a memorable TEAM cover, like the one their doing for #20 to remember the original MIGHTY AVENGERS, then every original member of the MA should be on the cover! (I can understand not putting Spider-Woman on it. But not putitng the Black Widow on there??? Come on now!)

"hey just wondering what Yall think............is this time (like since New avengers started) like the best time in avengers history? I mean has it always been this hot?  As a kid I was always a x-men justice league guy.  Now I have kinda replaced xmen with avengers Just wondering what yall thought."

New Avengers really jump-started the series. That book finally made the Avengers what they should always have been, the most popular characters in the Marvel U, with a couple good obscure characters. Putting Wolverine and Spider-Man in one book always equals good sales, but adding Cap, Iron Man, etc. That breathed new life into the book. I'll be reading all the new books, though I may decide not to stick with Dark and possibly Mighty given the roster. There's nothing "mighty" about Stature."

Well, in this weeks My Cup'O Joe, we got to see the script for the first page of MIGHTY AVENGERS #21. And by that alone tells us that Vision and Stature are pretty much on the team. And Jocasta was already confirmed. So, we have so far pretty much confirmed:

Jocasta
Vision
Stature

(also, the script of the first page:

MIGHTY AVENGERS 21
"Earth's Mightiest Part 1 of 3"
"The Smartest Man in the Room"
Plot for 32pgs.

PAGE 1
Panel One
We open on a "worm's eye view" of the FOUNDERS STATUE outside of AVENGERS MANSION (see ref). We don't need to see the mansion in this panel because we're going to pull back to a proper establishing shot in Panel Two.
For the purpose of this shot, we don't even get a full view of the FOUNDERS STATUE. HULK, IRON MAN, CAP, and THOR should be cropped so that only parts of them are in frame. The FOCUS of the panel is firmly on the GIANT MAN part of the statue, heroically pointing forward, with a tiny statue of the WASP poised on his finger. In the sky above, dark clouds are brewing. And through a gap in the sky we can see a small, green figure flying through the air, with a large yellow cape unfurled behind them. (This is VISION from the YOUNG AVENGERS, but he's too far away to make out.)


Panel Two We pull back to see a proper shot of the FOUNDERS STATUE, with the wrecked AVENGERS MANSION behind it. There are other statues of AVENGERS as well (please, no statues of JACK OF HEARTS or any version of ANT-MAN)-but none of them are nearly as large or prominently placed as the FOUNDERS STATUE. THE VISION comes in for a landing feet first, his yellow cape flapping behind him. On his shoulder is a shrunk-down STATURE (a.k.a. CASSIE LANG, the VISION'S girlfriend and fellow YOUNG AVENGER).
The VISION and CASSIE are having a conversation that quickly fills us in on a few things…They're here because WICCAN called for an emergency meeting of the YOUNG AVENGERS. He's detected a major magical threat-on a global level. CASSIE isn't too sure about any of this. WICCAN is relatively new to his powers. VISION points out that with DOCTOR STRANGE missing, WICCAN is now one of Earth's most powerful magic users. They shouldn't take this lightly.

Panel Three As CASSIE jumps off of VISION'S shoulder and grows back to her normal height, the VISION says that he's getting a bad feeling-as far as android feelings go. His communications systems are acting up-and his WiFi is down. This amuses CASSIE. She never thought of VISION as having WiFi capabilities. But it only makes sense. After all, iPhones have it, and VIZH is wayyyy bigger than an iPhone. "Say," she asks him, "do you have an MP3 player in there too?"

Panel Four The VISION admits that-yes, he HAS a built-in MP3 player. CASSIE raises an eyebrow and playfully asks him what music he has downloaded inside him. As the VISION lists some bands, CASSIE says that those are all of HER favorites. "Of course," the VISION tells her, "that's why they're in there."

Panel Five The two of them are obviously in love. Silent panel as CASSIE does that cute thing that girls do when they slightly bite down on their lower lip and try not to smile. (Khoi, this should be one of those isn't-Kitty-Pryde-adorable-and-don't-we-just-love-her moments.)
