The New, New Avengers
First post on the subject of comics in a while.
A day by day reveal of the line up of the Marvel New Avengers series in the wake of the company's Civil War series has been running over on Newsarama, and now the line-up is complete. For those not following the details, there are shortly going to be two Avengers teams running around, The Mighty and The New. The Mighty look like they're going to be the heavy hitting Establishment team, and The New are the more underground set, which is definitely a new approach. One thing that's interesting is that when the current version of New Avengers launched a couple of years ago, there was a new character called Ronin who wore a full body and face costume and no one knew who was under the mask. It was subsequently revealed to be a cover for an existing character called Echo. But the new line-up includes Ronin *and* Echo, so the mystery of Ronin's identity is opened up all over again.
The full line-up for New Avengers from next month:
- Echo
- Ronin
- Spider-Woman (Yay!)
- Doctor Strange (a major curveball)
- Wolverine
- Power Man
- Iron Fist
- Spider-Man
This could be interesting.
