Avengers Update: Two More Members Revealed!

A few weeks ago, Marvel slowly unveiled the roster for their new "New" Avengers team that will unveil itself during the "Heroic Age" this coming May. So far, the confirmed members were - Captain America (Bucky Barnes), Thor, Iron Man, Spider-Woman, and Hawkeye (Clint Barton). Five members seems a tad short when compared to the previous rosters of the past, but Marvel recently launched their full comic solicitations for May via Newsarama, and with the debut of the cover to Avengers #1, we see two more members joining the fray, and they're no strangers for that matter!

Well, it's official... Spider-man and Wolverine are still part of the Avengers! Depending on fans take of things, this could be a good thing or bad thing, but regardless, that's a mega-powerhouse team of Earth's Mightiest Heroes debuting in the Heroic Age! Spidey's banter and Wolvie's aggression are badass assets to have for the new team, and while the Logan's going to be ridiculed for being "everywhere at once" again, it's great to see writer Brian Michael Bendis retain most of his "New Avengers". That's the variant cover shown above, and here's the regular cover drawn by series' artist, John Romita Jr!
