Just my opinion here:
Scarlet Witch- I am kind of over her and her non-descript powers. The current issue of Fantastic Four has her now creating teleportation portals...I liked her old fluffy clouds of non-descript ability better (lol). Glad the cape is gone. I wonder if she is going to be the new Sorceress Supreme they speak about in the Axis 5 preview (it would make sense for it to be Illyana since she is actually training with Stevie but she is in the other Marvel line so I doubt that would work).
Quicksilver, sorry to see X-Factor go but glad he will be on a book, and I am digging the hair.
Vision...I have been over it since way before this. Sorry to see it in the book but I get it with the movie coming up.
Brother Voodoo...
Rogue, if Simon pulls out of inside her but she is left with some after effects (aka her old Ms. Marvel powers) this could be alright.
Wolverine, I like Sabertooth as a villero, he has always fit that bill for me more so than the Wolverine version who was always a killer trying to pretend otherwise (IMO). Sabertooth owns up to it and his clean cut look is a winner.
Falcap...no thanks.
Interesting overall in the makeup of the team. No real "big name" characters but they all have a dark-side, almost like the Uncanny X-Force of the Avengers, Remember may just kill this!
I have a feeling that whomever the big enemy is will be telling the siblings they are either not really twins or their mother was an inhuman or something that takes away their mutant card. Just my thoughts mind you but I could see this being a reality. Like their Mother was an Inhuman that impregnated herself and Magneto is not their Father...
I will follow the title but until I see some reviews I will probably only buy in trade or cheap digital.
The original Wolverine was not heroic, Sabertooth owns his business and is much more forthright with his intentions than James ever would have allowed himself to ever be. This fits well with the Avengers needing a "crossing the line" character.
He may not be going by Wolverine though, or it may be temporary until X takes over the mantle so Marvel can chalk another diversity notch. She does need a codename for sure though.

Very nice lineup, I'm excited for this, although I wish they didn't relaunch the numbering, it's really annoying.
That's a great lineup.
Will be getting this for definite.
I think it'll make for an interesting read.
But there's gonna have to be a seriously elaborate and convoluted story to make me accept that the Avengers would let Creed on a team.
I'm really looking forward to seeing Inverted Sabretooth.
I wonder what specific aspect of his personality will get changed?
I was wondering about the Astonishing Avengers book too? Never occurred to me it could be a villain team though.
Jarvis should really use his expertise in genetics more often.
(I jest )
LOL
I quite like most of them.
Quicksilver's isn't the best, but I think it might be inspired by the X-Men Evolution costume.
And Vison's seems strange.
But I like the others.
Trying to catch up on 2 years of Marvel comics.....
Comic Book Parody - Funny comic book stuff.
X-Men: Drama of the Atom - An unfinished Battle of the Atom parody.
I'm down with this because of brother Voodoo, and I've always liked Sabertooth as a hero; I wish Sunfire was on the team, though. Sam Wilson seems to be all over the place, isn't he? I'm wondering how the other Avenger teams are going to shape up, though. I'm also glad i don't have to read about Sabertooth on an x book, as they are hard for me to get into, anymore.
For me, the main issue is trying to think in my head how the team will interact off of the field. This does not seem to be the type of team that would sit around and have a strategy meeting over dinner or even ask the other how their day is. Vision and QS will be fawning over Wanda and the others are kind of creepy or anti-social. A big part of a team to me is them actually being a team (like in Mighty Avengers when they were telling Wonder Man his costume was nasty), that is fun to me. The filled to the brim with dark and brooding is not enjoyable in long stretches.
Yeah I can hardly imagine Sabretooth just chilling with the others and having dinner and all that.
Maybe he goes full Wolverine you know. At day he runs around with these guys and being all heroic and at night he is in a death squad with X-23, Daken, Mystique and Lady Deathstrike doing a bit less heroic things.
"This is me being reasonable"
I think a good amount of the members actually could be social. Depending on how things play out in Axis, they may have a relationship to build upon there, but I don't see Sam Wilson or Brother/Doctor Voodoo as anti social. Sabertooth is on the sadistic side , but I'd say he's a very vocal person as well.
