so, the new line up is
Wasp (Hank Pym)
Jocasta
Scarlet Witch
US Agent (I guess Omega flight didn't work out for him)
Hercules
Iron Man
Stature
Vision
Hulk
The only reason I care at all is b/c it seems like the chances for a continuation of the Young Avengers series are pretty slim at this point
I haven't read Marvel since the middle of Secret Invasion, so excuse me if the following sounds kinda, well, comic-illiterate.
Why is Hank Pym now called "Wasp?" Wasp died, right? That's what I was told. But why would you take on your estranged ex-wife's codename just because she died? Sure, I can see him doing it as a "tribute" to his dead partner, but I didn't see Batman rename himself Robin when Jason died.
Where in the HELL did Wanda come from? Last time I saw her, she had been boinking Hawkeye and doing funny magic things to doorknobs.
Hulk and Iron Man on the same team? Didn't Hulk just kick the living crap out of Iron Man and all of humanity like a year ago? Oh you, Marvel, with your never-consistent status quo.
As for the rest, it's a really big "meh." Do we really need Jocasta AND Vision? Jocasta period, for that matter. US Agent, Stature, and Hercules? Whatever. I suppose US Agent fills the obligatory Captain America spot that every Avengers team seems to need, and Hercules fills the god role that they always have. But why do we even need Stature? There's already Pym, not to mention Stature is just...blah, whatever.
I'm not impressed. I haven't been impressed by Marvel's main titles in a long time. Some of their books are good, like Nova, but those books are also severely underrated. Maybe DC's consistency in bringing home the bacon in the last few years has elevated my palate to a level Marvel just can't match right now.
