What do you guys think of the upcoming Avengers team? Personally I like it because they are using so many different characters for this team.

Pretty cool.
Iron Man - I'm intrigued. What is "Superior" about this Iron Man?
Captain America - The idea of Sam soaring around in the stars and stripes is exciting.
Thor - I would have bet everything I have that she was going to be Angela, but there's Angela right next to her.
Angela - Here sense of duty and doing the honorable thing makes her a great fit of the Avengers.
Inferno - I'm kinda meh on him. We'll see.
Deathlok - He's never been one of my favorites before, but my interest was piqued by the SHIELD show and reading online some impassioned odes to him.
Winter Soldier - I've never read much of him in comic form before, so here's my chance. If he was worthy of being Captain America, then he's definitely worthy of a spot on the team.
Ant-Man - Oh yeah! Loved him in FF, and I'm sure I'll love him here.
Dr. Strange - One of Marvel's coolest cucumbers, but I don't love him as part of a team. But, whatever, if he's not getting his own book, I want to see him with a team.
Scarlet Witch - I kind of dislike the character, and kind of think her power set is stupid and ill-defined. I hope that this proves me wrong/changes my mind.
Medusa - One of my favorites. The Avengers is a lot different than the Inhumans and the FF. I wonder how she'll adjust to taking orders instead of being the queen/leader.
My biggest question is: will this be a new team book, and how will that interact/coexist with Hickman's big plans? Is this all part of his original scheme?

Two questions, Who is the team on this and who is Inferno? Because I thought it was a Dormammu possessed Human Torch and was really interested for a second.

Is not a team, Avengers NOW! is the name of their new initiative (like Marvel NOW! and All-New Marvel NOW!) and just like the previous ones, this is a piece of art showcasing the characters that will spearhead this new phase.
And I like some of the stuff we now....like Superior Iron-Man and Captain Falcon (lol)

So far it seems not all of them.....Medusa and Inferno seems to be just there for Marvel to try and keep pushing for Inhumanity (thanks to delays between the main book and the end of Inifnity), Deathlok, Bucky and Thor are getting their books in October, Captain Falcon and Superior Iron Man in November. We have no idea about Scarlet Witch, Doctor Strange or Ant-Man; although the first two seems to be very prominent in the books they are appearing in (and Wanda is said to have a big role in AXIS). Ohh and Angela has just been revealed to be Thor's sister and there is a rumor that she is getting an ongoing...... But based on the cover for Avengers #35, at least we can see that Captain Falcon and Superior Tony will be part of the Avengers. Not sure if Thor will be part of the team as the cover shows Odinson with his ax from the past parts of Thor: God of Thunder. We might know more next week at SDCC, since I read there are at least 10 new books planned for this initiative (some I guess will replace current volumes similar to what is happening with Cap, Iron Man and Thor )

I prefer that, actually, but that makes Avengers NOW a pretty dumb name for their "initiative." But I'd probably read almost any of those books.

Well, most of these characters fall under the Avengers line of books (although now a days everyone is an Avenger lol) so kinda makes sense?
I MIGHT pick up the first issue of Thor and Superior Iron-Man....

I'm down for Cap, Ant-Man, and Dr. Strange for sure. Maybe Thor. Maybe Iron Man. I'm probably going to stop reading Inhuman. Maybe I'll check out the trade. And I'm really, really not into a Scarlet Witch solo book, unless the creative team draws me in.

Captain America has me interested. A flying Captain America is cool. And I read Steve Rogers is going to provide tactical support via Avengers Mansion... So yes I'm happy to hand out some bucks for this.
