At the beginning of this week Marvel began teasing another new title to come spinning out of an event, specifically there upcoming Infinity event, with the hint being the word attached to the image "Mighty" this could only mean one thing yet another Avengers team up.
I am a huge Avengers fan, but I do feel there is becoming a little over kill on the amount of Avengers titles being released with there currently being; Avengers, New Avengers, Secret Avengers, Avengers Arena, Uncanny Avengers, Avengers A.I, Young Avengers and Avengers Assemble.
With this new Avengers title to be released in September this will bring us to 9 Avengers titles. I plan on grabbing A.I when it is released in July, wich is sprialling out of the end of Age of Ultron yet another Marvel event, but whether I keep collecting that depends on the success of the first few issues. On the brightside the line up for 'Mighty' is a strong one, with the likes of the familiar, Luke Cage, Superior Spider-Man and She-Hulk and the less familiar Blue Marvel, White Tiger and Power Man and also featuring Phoenix and Monica Rambeau along with a new character in the Ronin costume last adopted by Clint Barton before his return as Hawkeye.
I have not read much work by Al Ewing so have no real opinion on whether he will be able to write a great Avengers title, my biggest concern is with the art as it can make or break a book for me and after being considerably excited for Marvel NOW Iron Man from Kieron Gillen and Greg Land I ended up being disappointed by the art, and because of this I have since dropped that title. It is unlikely I will stick with Mighty Avengers for long after its release come September, but I will surely pick it up and give it a try.
As for other team books I think would be better received and have more importance to the greater Marvel U, the long rumoured Inhumans comic from possibly Matt Fraction would be a great addition and also a new New Warriors, with the new Nova as the leader would also be very welcome, well at least as far as I am concerned. But for now I will be content with the news of yet another Avengers title in Mighty Avengers and fingers crossed it will prove my apprehensions wrong.
