New York Comic Con: The Big Avengers Announcements

As they did this morning at the Amazing X-Men panel, Marvel Comics announced this afternoon a number of new #1 issues and pseudo-#1 issues that will roll out over the next few months of the All-New Marvel Now.What came out of the Avengers panel this afternoon? Well, here’s a rundown:Avengers #24 will be Avengers #24.NOW/Avengers #1. The book is slightly oversized at 30 pages and ships on December 24.The “Mindbubble” teaser released earlier this week that teased Rick Remender, Pascal Alixe and Nic Klein was a teaser for the next volume/arc of Captain America, kicking off with Captain America #16.NOW/Captain America #1. Doctor Mindbubble, introduced in #17, is the new villain of the arc. Sam Humphries and Andre Araujo’s “Extinction” teaser was for Avengers A.I. #8.NOW.”Frenemies” by Ales Kot and Michael Walsh was the first teaser for a genuinely new series (of Secret Avengers) with a new #1 announced at the panel.”It’s close to what Spider-Woman and Avengers Assemble feels like,” said Kot. “We’re very much going back to the mission statement of Secret Avengers: don’t get seen, run the mission, save the world and don’t get as many things broken as you did the last time.” Spider-Woman, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Agent Coulson and Nick Fury, Jr. are a part of the cast, with another, as-yet-unannounced member.Kot added, “One to two-issue stories that will have strong connective tissue. This means that, over time, things that might have seemed unimportant at first gain much significance, creating a bigger story. Hawkeye does it very similarly.”
