I like everything I see here. Mega-City One homage? Sure. Return of a Cornell character? Oh yeah. Dat Prowler costume? Heck yeah. Stuff from Fatal Frontier? Great.

Al Ewing, you're just flat out rad when it comes to Mighty Avengers.

Maybe Danielle Cage will make an appearance here, too?

[Thennary Nak]

So picking this up. Ewing is probably one of my favorite writers right now and the team looks interesting. A pity this will only be two issues.

[cheesebiggins]

So excited! Devastated that it's only 2 issues though.

[Mark the Git]

Kid Rescue?

Kid Rescue?

A play on Iron Lad from Young Avengers, presumably.

[Mooper Films]

Only two issues and Hobie is a makeshift of Spider mask and his Prowler costume. I'm stump on Kid Rescue.

[Winterboy]

So excited! Devastated that it's only 2 issues though.

Same here.
I'm a big fan of Alan Davis.

In the interview, Al Ewing says she's Antonia Yinsen, the granddaughter of Ho Yinsen from his alternate timeline in Iron Man: Fatal Frontier were Ho Yinsen survives as opposed to Tony Stark and goes on to make the Rescue armor.

Kid Rescue Oo, so is she the same possibly ironman like character from that avengers team?

Well this team looks cool and it seems like the all new avengers its multicultural.

[Mr`Orange]

So excited! Devastated that it's only 2 issues though.

Two issue series are so annoying, I'd rather have double sized single issue. I'm much more likely to pick that up.

[Tenebrae]

Ha! This looks great. I love the premise and the characters. A Definite must buy. I especially like the riff on Iron lad.

Huh, neat! I've still yet to read Fatal Frontier.

Oh thats good, I'm guessing Faiza is asian. This does reflect the demographics of Britain.
