Announced today, with Bendis writing & Frank Cho doing the art...say hello to the Mighty Avengers. I don't think there is a specific release date, but it's due out sometime shortly after Civil War. Bendis could not give away who is on the team yet, because he said it would ruin the ending of Civil War. He did state that some of the characters have never been on the Avengers before. While some of the characters already have their own monthly series (Moon Knight possibly?
).
Bendis went on to say that, "One teams agenda could quite possibly be to hunt the other team down".
Readers won't have to read both "New Avengers" and "Mighty Avengers" to enjoy each book separately, but Bendis does plan to reward readers who pick up both titles. "If you are reading both books, there is going to be a huge benefit because maybe six months down the line, maybe a year down the line, you're going to notice that there is a large story being told and pieces of it will have been sprinkled throughout the two tiles and some other places as well. What's happening after 'Civil War' in the Marvel Universe and what's been happening in 'New Avengers'; all the conspiracies, what's happening with SHIELD, where Nick Fury is, and who the shadowy guy in 'New Avengers' #1 was, all this stuff continues. I think if you read both books, the tapestry that I sat down all summer and planned out will hopefully result in a huge payoff to people who like that kind of payoff. But if not, you can just read the individual stories and be completely entertained as well."
Bendis was able to get into a little more detail about the types of adventures the cast of "Mighty Avengers" will be embarking on. "For those looking for the bigger kind of stories, this is the place you're going to find them," he stated. "It has a larger powered team and they are going up against some classic Avengers foes amped up for the new generation as well as some brand new villains and some villains that have been around the Marvel Universe that in the past haven't been as big a threat as they will turn out to be now. Right in the first issue we get a classic villain making a nice return and another villain making a completely threatening turn that you've never seen from this guy before."
