Hey, It’s the Significantly Less Secret Avengers
 |
?So once this Heroic Age stuff starts at Marvel, there’ll still be two Avengers teams — the regular Avengers and the Secret Avengers. The former includes Captain America, Thor and Iron Man, and the latter — well, that’s them up there: Beast, Nova, Valkyrie, Moon Knight, War Machine, and… uh… Steve Rogers. I guess that means Bucky-Cap will be the Cap on the Original Recipe Avengers team; I was really looking forward to the the original three getting back together, but I’m sure there’s stories to tell about Bucky working with the rich armored asshole who effectively got his mentor killed. Thanks to Rebelcomix for the tip. (Via Origami Kid)
