Why is Captain America weilding a german pistol?

It's Bucky,back from the "dead" who replaced Steve when he,yep,"died".
'Course,he's also better now.

Oh, no. I certainly did not expect him to stop, but I know he will continue to write a Bendis-style Avengers comic, regardless of whether they call it a new Heroic Age or not. While that is great for Marvel sales and for the fans who like Bendis-style Avengers, there will always be some of us who just can't seem to find enjoyment there. For those of us who feel that way, I hope some title starts up similar to Slott's Mighty Avengers as an alternative to Bendis' stories.

Confirmed members of this new Avengers team so far includes BuckyCap, Spider-Woman, and Hawkeye.

No real surprises yet!

I've enjoyed a lot of Bendis' work and can't see why everyone is so hard on him. He works on many titles but, that is because he is good.

Also, I think that it's good to have one writer doing a lot of the work as not to run into problems when you get events that cross a lot of titles. I remember some of the things that happened to the X-men back in the day when one write would mess up the stories of another. For an example that is a little closer to home just look at the fact that in Thor's title they are in Latveria while in Siege their back in the good ol' U.S. of A.

So has Clint taken back his name, or is this Kate Bishop we are talking?

Well, it's a he, so unless Kate's doing a lot more for a costume after Siege is over or someone else is under the mask...

Anyone else seen the fake "I am an Avenger" cards that have started to float around the internet? I've seen some pretty good ones here and there.

Add Iron Man & Thor

And now the Secret Avengers!

Great to see Brubaker and Deodato working on an Avengers title!

One of the most common theories about the first Secret Avenger shown is Hank McCoy - and to be honest, it does look and sound a lot like Beast.

I'd say the shadowy figure looks more like an Deodaro drawn Spider-Man, but the quote is Hank McCoy like.

It also looks like he has a strange shaped "package" in tow.

Although upon looking at the teaser again, I think it's Black Panther. But I dropped the Black Panther book four issues ago, so I have no idea if it could even be T'Challa or not.

Dunno who the silhouette is, but the title makes me think Nick Fury will be directly involved with this team. Is Secret Warriors being cancelled?

That one with the cape almost has to be Taskmaster. The quote sounds more like T'Challa than the Beast to me, but either one would be cool.

I agree with the Taskmaster theory. The only other person it could be is The Hood. If anyone's read the "Beyond!" mini-series from a couple of years back, The Hood makes a great gritty anti-hero/"Why am I risking my neck for those people" type when paired with the heroes. I could see him making the "jump" to being a "hero" after Siege when he realizes his gang is going nowhere and that the "real Avengers" are back in business. But his gang was doomed the moment they let Crossfire roll with them. That guy hasn't been a threat since "Avengers Spotlight".
