Some rather fun looking Marvel covers shown at NYCC

[icon_uk]

Preview images have been released at NYCC at their Avengers panel (Thanks to Newsarama for the pics)

Thunderbolts #169 - Nothing like a little historically displaced fun and games.


Thunderbolts #171 - Old meets new?


Avengers #21 - A new member joins the team


Avengers Academy #27 - Avengers Academy kids (now including Lightspeed from Power Pack) versus THE RUNAWAYS, that'll make a lot of people on the board happy.




Secret Avengers #22 - I confess it took me a minute or two to realise that that was the Beast on the cover (I thought the goggles WERE the eyes, rather than them being pushed back on his head)


There are more covers on show at the link above.

Julie/Karolina sense tingling!

[thanekos]

Active Runaways (and a resurgent Pride), Avengers Academy, Daken, Moon Knight.. the mysterious criminal kingpin of Los Angeles's life just got that much tougher.

Avengers #21 - A new member joins the team-

Storm, eh? She makes a lot of sense as an Avenger, even being an X-men/mutant her respectability has always been really high.

Also she was an awesome Avenger in Marvel Adventures.

Avengers Academy #27 - Avengers Academy kids (now including Lightspeed from Power Pack) versus THE RUNAWAYS, that'll make a lot of people on the board happy.-

Yes, it will :)

[wonderwomanhero]

Seriously?! Like...you aren't joking?! Stormie's gonna be on the Avengers?! YAY

[crinos]

Okay, guess I got to ask: What the hell is Molly wearing on her head? It looks like a tarantula with goo goo eyes.

[kusonaga]

I wish they would've kept Cap't Britain's latest costume.

[pyynk]

I really like Art Adams work, but that Beast .... ewww. Also is that movie costume Hawkeye?

[long_silence]

Huh I didn't notice Ant-man on the arrow before. So both Eric and Hank on the same team? That's new.

[ian_karkull]

The Thunderbolts time-travelling shenanigans continue? Sweet! WWII Thunderbolts where already pretty hilarious, can't wait to see how ye olde medieval T-Bolts fare.

[zyriex]

Oh man, hopefully this depiction of the Runaways will be better than their last series....
The Julie and Karolina reunion has so much awkward potential

[drmcninja]

So, I thought Chase was supposed to be blond? Or is that meant to be Victor. I can't tell.

[notactuallyauser]

I like the pairings in the Avengers Academy. I think it was posed. I imagine the photographer thus:

Blonde lesbian flying teenagers who leave a colourful trail, if you could float up here please, facing each other. Thanks!

Next, dark-haired people with electrical powers! If you could line up below. Hold still!

Finally, the two most powerful melee fighters, in the front! Great!

Storm on the Avengers....meh. Just another great and strong female character for Bendis to fuck up, since her first name isn't Jessica. Hate to say it but I'm pretty sure Ororo will get the spotlight for that one issue and only that one issue and then afterwards she'll become wallpaper since Bendis wouldn't want any other strong female character whisking the spotlight away from his baby, Spider-Woman. It's just how the Bendis game has been so far and it's why I refuse to spend money on any book that he has any hand in. Well aside from the fact that he's a hack IMO.

Now Thunderbolts I am looking forward to. The 'Bolts in the Viking era should be interesting to say the least (least they look more Viking than Medevil to me, I can't tell, but either way it'll be fun).

[mrstatham]

And here's another character Bendis won't really get and will write with the same voice and dialogue as all of his other characters. And you guys are happy Storm's gonna be in his book?

[cypherfdp]

Whoa, a Power Pack member other than Alex actually doing something?!?!

[zukahnaut]

I thought that was Ultimate Hawkeye for a moment, and that Marvel was actually doing a crossover between the two lines. Glad to be wrong.

Also glad to see Storm apparently added to the Avengers roster. Been wondering if she'd ever get there.

[glimmung]

Who is the weird cave girl in on the two Thunderbolt covers.

[pyrotwilight]

Man, Avengers Academy continues to be awesome, eh?

[shadowpsykie]

Avengers Academy #27 - Avengers Academy kids (now including Lightspeed from Power Pack) versus THE RUNAWAYS, that'll make a lot of people on the board happy.

*sigh* i wish the kids would stop fighting... i hope they go to the bar again after....

[grimmbear]

Oh Come on! Am I the only one who sees the VISION! The real honest to Horton VISION!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[eyz]

Storm kicking ass on that Avengers cover!
'needs more mohawk.

Doesn't she join the Avengers like every 2 years though?
