I am a blocky interchangeable (with my mask off) Avenger
Well, it looks like I was wrong, and Marvel’s new Avengers book is going to start at issue #1.
So since my first prediction was wrong, here is my next one — Marvel will only maintain this new numbering until the number of issues among all combined Avengers volumes equals some nice round number, such as 600.
The good news is that Bucky is still Captain America in this lineup. The bad news is that John Romita Jr. is drawing it. I hope Hawkeye is on the team.
A bit confusing on what the Captain America deal will be. Some people were speculating that it is Steve Rogers in one of the Heroic Age promo pieces because he has blue eyes and no gun (where as the Avengers one from today is definitely Bucky). Makes me wonder if Bendis will continue with the two Avengers books thing one with Bucky Cap and the other with Steve Cap. Last I heard on Steve Rogers rumors was that he was suppose to end up leading SHIELD, and there is going to be a new SHIELD on going series starting in April with or without Rogers.
I think you’re right about the numbering and they will do their magic Marvel math and come up with a 600 or some big number like that in there for the Avengers eventually.
Man, why won’t Bendis just leave the Avengers? Give someone else a crack at the team after seven frakkin years.
You’re going to piss off JRJR again, Jim.
