Missy Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 SPOILERS Beware! This thread contains SPOILERS concerning "Avengers Disassembled". In the wake of "Avengers Disassembled" will come a brand new Avengers book, entitled The New Avengers. And the line-up is: Captain America Spider-Man Wolverine Spiderwoman (Jessica Drew) Iron Man (Tony Stark?) Sentry Luke Cage (possibly) ... and more! Now, this is not the final/permanent line-up. As it is with the Avengers, people will come and go. But these were the seven shadowy figures who were posed together on the teaser art. Bendis hinted that Tony Stark might not be Iron Man come the revamp, however. He also confirmed that Spiderwoman was Jessica Drew, and no one else. Lastly, Luke Cage will have a role in the book, but not necessarily as an active member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragernok2002 Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 So what does this mean for the spiderman books, if he is joining the avengers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted August 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 At Wizard World Chicago, Bendis was asked, "How will Spider-Man and Wolverine's other commitments affect the team dynamic?" Brian's response was purposely vague: "I think there's drama there." (That was his catchall response to many questions concerning the roster and new title.) Spider-Man being an Avenger is nothing new, really. He's always held reserve status. (Truthfully, very few Marvel characters aren't reserve Avengers.)

Cheap Heat Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Looks like they're going for the JLA kind've thing, getting their best characters into the Avenger framework. And if Bendis is writing it, chances are it will be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted August 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Someone else made the JLA comparison too, but both Joe and Brian insisted things aren't as they appear. I'd assume Wolverine and Spider-Man are only there for the first mission of two, later replaced by... who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat DJ Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 The Phoenix! You heard it here first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted August 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 The Phoenix! Actually, I'd LOVE to see that. After her imminent return, she should kick Emma and Scott's asses, then quite the X-Men for the Avengers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elevenball Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Wolverine on the Avergers is wrong on so many levels. This reeks of mimicking the Distinguished Competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted September 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Wolverine on the Avergers is wrong on so many levels. This reeks of mimicking the Distinguished Competition. As Bendis said at Wizard World Chicago: All is not as it seems. Suggesting it might be a very one-time deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheap Heat Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Just like the Hulk for the original Avengers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted September 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Just like the Hulk for the original Avengers. Most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-T Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 I don't have a problem with Wolverine in the Avengers. The X-Men books are too closed off from the rest of Marvel. Spread mutants around a bit. It would be better, though, if it were Beast instead of Wolverine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted September 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 It would be better, though, if it were Beast instead of Wolverine. That gives me an idea for a poll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted October 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Here's the cover to the second issue. Who the Hell is that guy in the silver mask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheap Heat Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 He looks a little like Mysterio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted October 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 He looks a little like Mysterio. Tell me about it. I'm thinking it might be a new Vision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darque Edge Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Rumours that I've heard indicate that it is 'The Sentry' - the alternative history bit. He's their secret weapon, basically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted October 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Bendis has outright said that The Sentry is in the book, but why is he suddenly in that mask? Or does this new costume of his (if that is him) play into his fear of the outside world...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
