Marvel: The Heroic Age


The reign of Norman Osborn is coming to an end. With Marvel's "Siege" event, heroes will turn the status quo back to the way it was before, where the Marvel Universe shines again with its heroes full of optimism and enthusiasm.

Dark Reign turned the whole Marvel Universe into a dark world where villains posed as heroes, S.H.I.E.L.D. got defunct and replaced by H.A.M.M.E.R., and Norman Osborn as the head of it. But Siege will be the end of that and thus The Heroic Age starts.

To start The Heroic Age, Marvel plans on stopping all Avengers titles and launch with just a single Avengers book - simply titled as just "Avengers" which would be written by Brian Michael Bendis (again). The title will go back to #1 instead of continuing from its last issue number. The full line-up hasn't been revealed yet although Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America (not sure if it would be Bucky or Steve Rogers) will be in the team for sure. I guess Hawkeye is back on team the now too.

I think the teaser images are a representation of different teams featuring the "The Heroic Age" banner. It would be weird if that gorilla from Agents of Atlas joined the Avengers.
