Avengers or New Avengers?

[Mr Wallstreet]

I was so ready for the Avengers relaunch that featured the Heroic age, mostly because after reading 90% DC comics for over 7 years I was ready for a shot something different. But now I hear Marvel is relaunching New Avengers also.

I'd really like to read about Cap, Thor, IM and the other Marvel big shits who I haven't read about since the late 90s, but I'd also like to read about the the street level guys who I just havent read at all in like EVAR.

So which do you reccomend?

Heroic Avengers or New Avengers?

I'm actually dropping all Avengers titles =o/

I was really intrigued when I thought it was going to be just one book. I don't like Romita Jr, but I was willling to look past it for Thor Cap and Iron Man, but now that there's going to be 4 again, I'm not going to do it.

I was really hoping that Cap/Steve Rogers would be on the main Avengers team as well as Spider-man & Luke Cage. I'm certainley not getting all 4 Avengers titles but now I'm seriously considering just sticking with Regular Avengers. I'm sure soon enough Steve Rogers will be back on that team...I hope.

[Tragic Angelus]

Rumor mill has him probbably leading one of the other teams like Secret Avengers in a new persona/superhero ID, but all we've got for that team so far is 5 or 6 shadow figures to go on.

Nertz.

Think he'll come back to Avengers any time soon?

[Tragic Angelus]

No clue. I stopped with Avengers when Bendis relaunched it the first time years ago, and I was getting New Avengers in trade, but stopped after the first 3 due to finances and lessing Marvel interests. I really have no idea what they've been doing with anyone for the last so many years, and I'd much rather have Rogers in the big 3 than Barnes but.. who knows..

I'm not getting any of the books but the one I'll be sure to stay away from is the New Avengers. I like Cage and Jessica Jones and all but frankly, I feel like I've been reading the same story since this book was in the 30-ish issues : Hood, Hood, Hood. Done with that.

Secret Avengers has Brubaker which is a good sign but we're still waiting on the line up no?

[Mr Wallstreet]

Looks like the general consensus here is to not pick up Heroic or Secret Avengers...May have to re-re-evaluate picking it up.

[Stocky Boy]

I could be willing to read another Brubacker book.

Anything with Bendis's name on it, which isn't Powers, Daredevil or Ultimate Spiderman is likely to be a bit on the turd side.
