The Secret Avengers – Full line up includes Steve Rogers

Here is the full lineup for Ed Brubaker and Mike Deodato’s Secret Avengers (the one that had them blacked out to begin with).

The line up is War Machine, Beast, Valkyrie, Moon Knight, Nova and Steve Rogers. Looks like Bucky will be staying as Captain America in The Avengers proper with Thor and Iron Man. Also means Nova has stopped his cosmic wanderings to head to Earth.

Be interesting to see what kind of missions and threats they will be dealing with and the characters involved should lead to some good moments between them.

What do you think of the line up?

Secret Avengers – Two of them are now revealed

A few months ago Marvel released some posters for the new comic book series, Secret Avengers. The thing was the characters were blacked out so we had to try and guess who would be on the team.

Looks like I guessed that one of them was War Machine and Beast.

Who will the rest be?

Ed Brubaker and Mike Deodato are the team on the comic and it is out in May.

Spider-Man and Luke Cage are New Avengers…again

Marvel promised that they’d be streamlining the Avengers comic book into just the one Avengers written by Brian Michael Bendis with art by John Romita Jr. Then there was news of the Secret Avengers by Ed Brubaker and Mike Deodato.

Most recently is word of another title, New Avengers, by Brian Michael Bendis and Stuart Immonen.

According to these posters Spider-Man and Luke Cage are on the new team. Who will be next?

Secret Avengers – Two more mysterious heroes

Two more Secret Avengers and they could be Captain America or Bucky in the top one and maybe War Machine in the bottom one.

Check out the flying one, the female Secret Avenger, and two other as yet to be identified Avengers for the Ed Brubaker and Mike Deodato comic due out in May from Marvel.

Secret Avengers – Is the fourth one War Machine, The Vision or someone else?

After a female Secret Avenger, and two other as yet to be identified Avengers comes this new flying one for the Ed Brubaker and Mike Deodato comic due out in May from Marvel.

Like the previous three I haven’t got a clue who this could be – War Machine, Vision, Nova, Justice, Machine Man, Captain Marvel, Sentry or someone else?

Who do you think this could be and who are the other members of the team?

UPDATED: Who will be a Secret Avenger?

Marvel have been sending out teasers for the new Avengers comic book by Brian Michael Bendis and John Romita Jr – the team is comprised of Iron Man, Spider-Woman, Hawkeye, Captain America and Thor.

That was thought to be the end of it as Marvel kept saying that all the different Avengers titles would be cancelled after the big Siege event and there would just be the Avengers.

Looks like that isn’t the case as a new teaser poster for Secret Avengers came out today. As you can see it is similar in composition to the Avengers posters, but the character is blacked out.

Turns out the new series will be writtern by Ed Brubaker with Mike Deodato on art.

Any idea who it is in the picture? I’m thinking Spider-Man, Black Panther, Beast, Dr Strange or maybe Cloak. Just can’t work it out.

UPDATE: Ed Brubaker sent a Tweet pointing to a new Secret Avenger teaser pic over at CBR.
This one appears to be wearing a cloak and with the caption with it I am thinking it could well be a former bad guy. Maybe The Hood or Taskmaster. Any ideas?
