[QUOTE=Anthony Shaw;5405360]This is why two books are needed: to get the best of classic members mixed with new members, and non-mainstays who may have interesting arcs to explore.

I kinda agree and disagree. I'd be okay with two books, however, if it were to cover a single large team. While Stern's is probably my favorite Avengers run, and he did amaze me with his ability to juggle the six members limit, I think the Avengers work better as a larger team, with somewhere between 8 to 12-13 members. That team could occasionally be split into samller, non-set, squads, that'd be covered in the two books you mentioned, and once or twice a year, you'd get a huge mission involving the whole team, and covered in both books. That's my dream, but it'd only work with a really good writer and editor team. Marvel hasn't had one of those in quite a while.

My eternal championing of Jack of Hearts aside, I'd read the ever-living hell out of this line-up. Love the Ketch Ghost Rider inclusion!

Shooter & Busiek handled the large team format perfectly. Threats should be exploding all over Earth, and space. It makes sense for a large team to handle multiple threats, sometimes simultaneously. With different heroes bouncing off each other, it should never be a dull moment in regards to interpersonal relationships, and character development.
A science table featuring a hirsute mutant, a size changing but troubled man, an arrogant former munitions dealer, and an African king.....only the Avengers can pull that off.
During the Geoff Johns run, I saw the potential for a three kings saga: Wakanda, Atlantis, and Asgard. Not fighting each other, but a legitimate built up menace. I think the world would freak out at the thought of the Avengers having an alliance with three powerful realms.
The idea that the team has a sub-family: Hank Pym, Janet Van Dyne, Simon Williams, Vision, Wanda, Quicksilver, & Crystal is interesting.

Wow, it is really that bad? Colors blobs and no story? Where are the editors?
