scans_dailySo the previews are up for the second Avengers book Hickman will be writing.
Apparently it will be a new approach to the Illuminati concept. Featuring: "Captain America, Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Black Bolt, Namor, Mr. Fantastic, the Beast - taking the place of the deceased Professor Xavier - and the Black Panther, who declined membership originally."

And...do my eyes deceive me, or is that a 2.99 price? :O Holy SHIT I thought those were extinct with Marvel Now! :D

Date: 2012-10-06 01:47 am (UTC)I think that perhaps the term "Avenger" has been officially devalued enough to make it almost worthless as a badge of honor. Between the regular, New, Secret, Uncanny, Young, West Coast, Great Lakes, Initiative, Resistance, 1959, and Dark flavors, it's not like there's really anyone LEFT.
Except Johnny Storm. And Uncle Ben.
And how awkward is this going to be, with Namor and Black Panther on the same team?

Date: 2012-10-06 03:21 am (UTC)Also, I really like those cover. The first one's neat enough, and while Iron Man looks a little slender for Iron Man, I like the way it all look. And I really like the second one, I like the use of the Infinity Gems in it and I love the fact that even though all you can see is their hands, you can still tell who everyone is.

Date: 2012-10-06 07:19 am (UTC)Hmmm- but Hickman and the Ilumminati should go together like bread and butter.

Date: 2012-10-06 09:10 am (UTC)At least I'm fairly confident in Hickman.

Date: 2012-10-06 11:57 am (UTC)Actually... they're all pretty terrible.
But Mr. Fantastic called it when he said they should just leave Scott to it. So, hmm. Xavier in the Illuminati always confused me.
Weird feelings.

Date: 2012-10-06 03:58 pm (UTC)So over in AvX consequences, all X-Men are banned from Wakanda just for being mutants associated with Namor, and Storm's actually a war criminal because of it.
And here, Black Panther is on the same team as Namor himself.
I don't doubt that Hickman will address the attack on Wakanda, but that's still a "Really? REALLY?!" moment.
