From C2E2; also, the remaining three members of the Secret Avengers...revealed!

The news from Cup 'o Joe:

The panel started by revealing the full cast of Ed Brubaker's and Mike Deodato's "Secret Avengers." "It's a Secret unless you've been reading the internet for the past 48 hours," said Brevoort before revealing the lineup to be Steve Rogers, Sharon Carter, War Machine, Nova, The Beast, Moon Knight, Valkyrie, Black Widow and the Irredeemable Ant-Man.

So I guess Bucky did put in the good word for Eric after he helped him out in Reborn.

Sharon and Natasha aren't surprising additions, but welcome nonetheless.

Marko Djurdjevic will provide coves and has drawn a massive Avengers image featuring the full lineup of all the teams, which will be broken up into six covers for all the Avengers titles next year.

I must see this image (semi-relatedly, how is it he never gets nominated for the Best Cover Artist Eisner? He's been the best in the business for years now).

Edit: And here is one part of it, anyway:

I see Steve insisted on a costume-change for Eric.

Allan Heinberg appeared on video to announce "Avengers: The Children's Crusade" – the follow up to "Young Avengers" by the entire original creative team including artist Jimmy Cheung. The bi-monthly, nine-issue limited series has seen six issues written already, and Heinberg promised that a cataclysmic event involving Wiccan forces him to find the Scarlet Witch and try to redeem her. He will find her, and the series will not only include the full cast of the Young Avengers as well as all the other Avengers teams from the A-Vengers to the New Avenges but members of the mutant community. The story will build on plot threads from "House of M" on through today, and the writer was excited to present new, unseen interactions between characters.

If it starts in July, which has been speculated (and is when Heinberg says he'll turn in the last script; this from Newsarama's coverage), at a bimonthly pace that would finish in...November of 2011.

And finally, some Jim Cheung art:

I was trying to figure out who the blonde behind Hulkling was, but then I realized it's Cassie, and the person I thought was Cassie is actually Ms. Marvel.

Edit: Also, an Alex Ross cover for the five-issue Invaders mini:
