MARVEL PRESENTS THE U.S.AVENGERS

The security of the Marvel Universe is fractured. The world’s first line of defense, S.H.I.E.L.D., can no longer be trusted. The United States no longer has a super-spy agency with its best interests at heart – until now. Prepare for the U.S.Avengers!
 


Billionaire playboy, Roberto Da Costa, has formed an all-new A.I.M. – American Intelligence Mechanics! Endorsed by the government and positioned to replace S.H.I.E.L.D., A.I.M. is here to protect the United States from the most outlandish threats imaginable. Their mission: save the world and have fun doing it!

 Speaking with The Washington Post, series writer Al Ewing offered some insight into Da Costa’s desire to form the U.S.Avengers, “He came to America in his teens, and, as both an actual and fictional minority, a South American mutant, he’s experienced the ugly side of it. But he’s seen the best of America, too. He has an absolute love for his adopted country, and he’ll fight to the end to save lives and help people.”

 
Also featuring the All-new Iron Patriot, tomorrow’s Captain America today, Thunderbolt Ross – the Red Hulk, the high-flying Cannonball, the unbeatable Squirrel Girl (along with her patriotic squirrel legion), and more, the U.S.Avengers will dare any danger – no matter how unbelievably awesome that danger might be – to defend freedom, democracy, apple pie, bald eagles and the electric guitar!

 “U.S.Avengers will be a bold, brawny book that will distill everything that you love about and everything that you fear about this great land of ours into twenty pages of high-octane patriotic action every issue,” said series editor Tom Brevoort.

Action, adventure and intrigue wrapped in the red, white, and blue! The U.S.Avengers are touching down this December!

  2. Here we go again with their all new all different style of books lol. I will pass as well.

  3. I don’t think I’ve ever read anything that Al Ewing has done for Marvel that I liked.
    Red Hulk & Iron Patriot look ridiculous and (don’t shoot me) I hate squirrel girl. Soooo, I guess I’ll pass also lol. I do like the design of the Pod character.

    1. Loki: Agent of Asgard was an awesome book; I still miss it now! But, U.S.Avengers doesn’t seem that interesting, and some of the characters involved don’t even seem logical for the vibe they are going for. I do love Squirrel Girl, but as time goes on, I find that I will NOT stick with a book just to see my favorite characters dragged along. Hulkling, Wiccan, & Squirrel Girl are all on New Avengers, but I’ve nixed that from my monthly books already.

    2. Yeah, same here. I gave New Avengers a shot.. Hickman’s previous volume was way better. Nothing else ever really grabbed my attention.
      I’m with you on Squirrel Girl.. I know some might like her but I’m like.. meh, just not my style.

  5. looks completely stupid. everyone will pass on it and then it will be amazing then we’ll all be scrambling to buy it later.

  7. Might have a first appearance of Butter Nuts in it. Could be going for hundreds by Thursday.

    1. All signs point to no. Or at least not now. But at least Marvel is finally using that horrible girls captain America Halloween costume design for a character

      1. This is the Captain America of the future, sent back in time. It’s the daughter of Luke Cage & Jessica Jones.
        Used to be only one Cap. Now he could field an entire Avengers team all his own made up only of variant Captain Americas. Only a matter of time…

  11. Why does the Iron Patriot armor look like they spray painted the rubber robot guy from Big Hero Six?
    Pretty lame team, sad when your big name member is a second tier ripoff in a really bad pair of pants. Isn’t Thunderbolt Ross like 60 years old? Even hulked out his pants should be riding higher up. 🙂

  13. Pod? The flashlight faced character is named Pod? Really?
    Is this an attempt to do a conservative based patriotic comic, set up for failure from the get go, all in an effort to then say ” See, we tried and it doesn’t sell.”? All to advance the liberal agenda of Marvel Comics?

  14. I thought that Rulk got depowered, and at first I thought Do Costa was Nate Grey.

  16. This is gonna be a firm “no” from me. I’m sure someone out there will love it.

  17. This sounded wicked cheesey to me infill I saw squirrel girl… Yeah this is going to be pure garbage. I won’t buy into it unless there is a first appearance then I’ll buy a few and forget all about this.

    1. It will be terribly underordered. You’re going to make loads of cash. You should buy enough to get all variants at cover.

  19. The first arc should be called “The Power of Poop” with Squirrel Girl dropping nuggets around town. Oops, that’s just the writers verbiage..

  20. I’m sure it is only a matter of time before Marvel gives them their own animated TV show where they save the earth and play in a rock band on the side…just for kicks and a Jem inspired video at the end of the show. Squirrel Girl on the tambourine, Rulk on the drums, blah, blah , blah, kids go nuts, toys are sold, millions made, world peace achieved.

    1. Oh, totally. Look at that cover. It’s got GI JOE from the 80’s written all over it.

  21. Isn’t Pod one the assassin in the Batman Red Hood animated movie?

  22. Saw the title and thought…”U.S. Avengers”? Could this possibly be a title for those who don’t share in all the anti-US bashing? A click later I could not believe the absolute rubbish roster on this team. I should have known better…more crap from Marvel, the house of bad ideas.

    1. Don’t expect too much good for a while. Not from how Marvel and their parent companies are right now. To much political motivation and far too much “pc” pushing for my taste. Maybe that will change down the line.

  23. They are REALLY forcing the Avengers name right now. I remember when your choice was Avengers. That was it. Then they intro’d West Coast Avengers which was ok but I was never a huge fan of Safari Simon Williams. Anyone remember that steaming pile that was Force Works? Then they over saturated the market and blew it all up and started over with George Perez. Looks like we’re getting to that over saturation point again. Now it’s Avengers EVERYTHING. Diet Avengers, Crystal Avengers, Cherry Vanilla Avengers. Enough already!

      1. All-Star Albino Eskimo Midget Left Handed Ninja Wrestling Avengers would be even better.. 😛

    3. Next thing we’ll see is a Gwen-Avengers book.. They’ll have Gwenpool, Spider-Gwen, Gwroot, Iron-Gwen and Gwulk..

      2. Don’t forget Gwor…. hmmm. Maybe not. That’s a little too similar to Gwar.

      3. Lets hope for it, that will make those other Gwen variant covers go through the roof.

  24. Since Avengers is among top selling comics, only natural to create spin-off variations. For example, west coast avengers or DC’s Justice League europe.

  26. Pastiché, comedy, parody have a place in comics…. Or are Deadpool and Harley Quinn completely shitty flops of characters? Superior Foes of Spidey anyone? Milligan’s X-Statix?
