Over the past week, Marvel has been slowly revealing the first five members of its highly-anticipated relaunch of the Avengers series, which will be in the highly capable, talented hands of Brian Michael Bendis and John Romita Jr.  Now, the dust has settled, the teasers have been shown, and now we know the first five characters who will make up the new team.  So far, it appears to be an interesting mix of the classic team lineup and a bridge to characters of the past few years!  As we see here, Thor will be in the lineup!  It’s going to be interesting to see how he overcomes the current events of Siege to make his return to the team that he helped to found!  The artwork featured gives us a great tease as to what’s to come, and just what sort of stance we can expect from our heroes as we enter a new era and age in Marvel Comics!  Let’s see who else will be joining the Asgardian god!
