EARTH�S MIGHTIEST SURVIVORS!
With the world order completely rewritten after the events of Avengers: Armageddon, a day unlike any other arrives, when a new group of Earth�s Mightiest Heroes find themselves united to avenge the Marvel Universe: SPIDER-MAN, WOLVERINE, CAPTAIN MARVEL, DAREDEVIL, LUKE CAGE and an all-new hero set to make their explosive debut soon!
On taking the reins of Marvel�s flagship super hero team, Zdarsky said, �It�s obviously a massive honor getting to write the world�s greatest super hero team! And after what happens in AVENGERS: ARMAGEDDON, this lineup is angry as hell and ready to avenge.�
“AVENGERS is a book that should lead the Marvel Universe, where big things happen and surprises keep hitting,� he explained. �That�s what Marco and I are doing with every issue and I can�t wait for people to fall in love with these gorgeous pages.”
On reuniting with Zdarsky, Checchetto said, “Here we go again. Chip and I, assembled. We had a blast on Daredevil, and since wrapping up Ultimate Spider-Man, I�m thrilled there was an opportunity to do something new with him. It�s in moments like these where Chip�s utter madness comes through, and the result is right before your eyes.�
“I love this team,� he continued. �It�s going to be great to see these characters interact with one another and see how they untangle themselves from the situations we�re going to throw them into.�
�It�s amazing to be working with Marco again,� Zdarsky added. �Time and time again he proves he�s the best at giving us the coolest possible versions of these characters and what he�s doing in this book is next level.”
Teasing the new run, Editor Wil Moss said, �Chip and Marco have come up with SUCH an exciting direction for this new volume of AVENGERS, striking just the right balance of quality AND spectacle, of pitch-perfect characterization AND shocking takes, of a sense of legacy AND a true trailblazing spirit. Chip and Marco�s AVENGERS is going to be the heart of the Marvel Universe going forward�trust me, you won�t want to miss a beat. Just wait till you learn the full roster��

Hurm. I’m confused why Wolverine is such a big part of this story. Doesn’t he have his own mutant problems to worry about?
No, he doesn’t. His ongoing series ended in December, with issue #16. Since then, Sam Wilson currently has a five-issue mini-series, featuring Red Hulk, (Big surprise there, right? Gotta make the comics resemble the MCU, to try to give the film some momentum. Yuck.) which carries Steve Rogers Legacy Numbering on its covers. Until this announcement was made yesterday, Steve Rogers was without a book of his own, and presumably would have been, until further notice. Even with this announcement, it’s going to be a six month gap between his ongoing series, since this new book doesn’t begin until July.

Steve has a current ongoing series right now.
It’s about damn time they finally announce a new series. It’s ludicrous for Steve Rogers to not have a Captain America title of his own on the shelves. They gave Steve’s Legacy Numbering to Sam Wilson (again) for a stupid mini-series that ties into the MCU. They took away his book, and they’ve also had him off of the Avengers roster for two years, now. Steve Rogers is not some D-list background character that should be sitting on the bench. Hopefully, this new book will carry his Legacy Numbers on the cover, as it should be, and they can finally tone down the Sam Wilson Cap stuff, now that his movie will soon be in the rear-view mirror.
Captain America was presumed KIA, he wouldn’t need to “re-enlist”. I’m always leery of these ret-cons (his first time meeting Dr. Doom) because they’re rarely handled well and they tend to conflict with the established continuity. If they want to explore Cap’s interactions after being thawed, they could address his brain damage (amnesia) issues (recall that when he and the Avengers first encountered the Sub-Mariner, neither recognized the other from their days as All Winners Squad), and no doubt how the then-current SHIELD/military would have been concentrating on replicating the Super Soldier Serum from Cap’s blood, more than anything else.
I want Zdarsky on X-men to wash the stink of Hickman from it
Looking forward to a new writer. I’ve been getting the series, and there is some cool stuff going on, but overall I’m pretty bored with the story. The pace is slow. It’s weird for a Cap title to pile up in my “to read” stack, and I think I’m about 4 or 5 back with it. So a fresh take will be welcome. Plus I feel like Chip is underrated. Him and Gerry Duggan. They come on a title with very little fanfare and almost always make it better imo.
*when is there gonna be a Cap 4 thread?…I thought it was a lot better than what I was expecting walking in.
