That's a lot of Ewing... he's on 13 of those stories. Sounds like Ewing may be kinda spearheading the direction of the next branding or whatever, that Marvel does after WotR and this anniversary issue. It may not be a full blown relaunch across the board, but you know how they do new directions and stuff every year or so.

I hope his Avengers World team that debuted in No Road Home get a book. West Coast is done so there's just the core book and Savage right now.

And maybe Young Avengers can get a new volume as well as a companion book to Champions. The YAs have shown up in Unstoppable Wasp, some of them will be in Death's Head, and now we have the original creative team reunited here, so that's almost certainly another appearance. Must be building up to something, right?

hmmm

I mean, he is doing something right now. That being said, I can't tell if anything is real or fake.

The young Avengers are kinda popping up a lot of places, yeah, and WotR even had a rather gruesome callback to the last volume. and with Heiberg and Cheung seems like that will continue here. Just kinda guest spots for now, aside from Kate and America, until West Coast ended, but it does sort of feel like they're bringing the old gang back together. Maybe with a couple new ones thrown into the mix to keep it fresh, but I would want to keep the team on the small side, no more than, say, 7ish, since part of the appeal there was the personal interactions, and that gets lost with really large teams. It's been about 5 years since the last volume ended, feels like a good time to bring it back again. If sticking with the same characters tho, not sure how well the name 'Young Avengers' would apply though since all but one of them (Cassie) has like, gone to college now and stuff. Maybe new name for them and then a new team of younger heroes? Though Champions kinda has that covered.

also, lol, what's with all the sparkles on Zdarsky's?

Steve Murray likes to joke around.

I sure hope so. I've been vying for a Young Avengers comeback pretty much since their book ended. They have wild potential, and I'd love to see more of them.

If not the Young Avengers, I'd be fine with them being dubbed the New Avengers or something of that sort.

I assume membership would be OG members Wiccan, Hulkling, Speed, Stinger & Hawkeye. It's as good a place as any for Ms America. Prodigy being back on the squad would be neat. And I insist Anya Corazon joins the team because I maintain she'd be a perfect addition.

I'm really thinking it'll be a line-wide #1000 issue event, with every comic getting a #1000 issue featuring celebrity creators on that one issue.
Because #1000 issues are suddenly the new #0.

That's what I thought - an anthology book, or anthology series.

It does seem like Cebulski is trying to win back "star" talent after a period where the company depended on a core of creators who didn't quite become big names (NOTE: there is nothing wrong with this and creators whose names move comics are not "better" than those who don't), but it seems like this is more a promotion of the big names they've signed up for something, it doesn't say how many pages they're signed up for.

4 comics for every week in August. 40 pages. 5.99.

Nice big HC collection for Christmas.

Leads to a Ewing ongoing, maybe Avengers related.

this sounds ideal and is probably better than the actual thing

Yes, give me all the Ewing you can, Marvel. Give me that,sweet, sweet, weird Ewing and his sweet, sweet, continuity and character driven stories!

This is likely similar to the 75th anniversary book.

Javier Rodriguez doing the Waid book and this as well as some DC people on this gave that away.

Ewing is likely doing the main plotline. It seems that's also why the Summer Special got canned.

My guess tomorrow will be Claremont, Byrne, Bendis, Louise Simonson and BKV.

**Digifiend** · 05-10-2019, 01:04 AM

I assume none of the "DC people" involved here are actually exclusive? That rules Bendis out (though if he was involved, his page should feature either Miles Morales or Jessica Jones). As for Simonson, why wouldn't Louise have been announced already when Walt has been? I think it's safe to say she's not involved. One missing name that surprised me was G Willow Wilson. I know she left Ms Marvel to do Wonder Woman, but she isn't actually DC exclusive (she was previously a Marvel exclusive).

I agree about the summer special. Some of it's planned content could be used here instead.
