Funny story. With so many Batman books running right now, I made the conscious decision to drop a few of them a couple of months back. Morrison’s Batman & Robin happened to be one of those titles that I felt wasn’t going to be overly important to the final return of Bruce Wayne so I let it slide. After taking a look at the previews for Batman & Robin #8, along with the covers for 9 & 10, I’m really wishing I hadn’t.
Ugh.

Just when you thought things were going back to the good old days of only having one elite team of heroes in the Marvel U, you get thrown a curve ball by the company and learn that there will in fact be a minimum of two Avengers books running once again. This time, rather than Mighty or Dark, we have Secret Avengers. The book, which will be written by Ed Brubaker and drawn by Mike Deodato, launches in May alongside the apparent flagship Avengers book.
Marvel’s also decided to tease us with a silhouette of the first member announced.
My money is on Luke Cage.

All week we’ve had the privilege of finding out whom our next Avengers will be. Today’s news doesn’t disappoint. With the addition of Thor to their ranks, surely this new Avengers team will be nearly unstoppable!
Thor, one of the original Avengers, has been on many of their teams – though right now he’s got his hands a little full. It remains to be seen what kind of shape he’ll be in after the events of Siege finish unfolding.
Was the return of Thor to the Avengers a predictable one for you? Are there any other heroes you’d like to see join the team? Leave us a comment!

After being announced last year, DC’s finally given the fans a first-look at the upcoming Zatanna ongoing series written by Paul Dini and drawn by Stephane Roux. In addition to a couple shots from the book, which you can check out above, The Source also posted a couple words from Dini about the backstory of the character and what we can expect to see as far as a supporting cast goes:
“Outside of her star turn in 7 SOLDIERS OF VICTORY, her ongoing supporting role in JLA and guest appearances elsewhere, Zatanna doesn’t come with a lot of backstory. That’s both a blessing and a challenge for me as a writer. I don’t have to adhere to 70 years of continuity, but that doesn’t give me a lot of history to draw from, either. That said, I’ve been having a lot of fun populating her world with new characters, friends and allies as well as an entirely new mystical rogues gallery. I’m out to create some really unique and creepy villains, ones that aggressively prey on humankind the way gangsters in a crime book would victimize innocent people.”
The series’ artist Stephane Roux also discussed the character and getting the chance to work alongside writer Paul Dini on the series as well:
“What can I say about being attached to the project? I’m a fan of the character AND a longer-time fan of the writer. Paul’s delivering very exciting scripts, pushing the character in directions that make it so much fun for me to draw. I’m dealing with various dimensions, litterally. You’ll be scared, you’ll be excited, you’ll enjoy the fights she’s going through.”

Throughout the week, Marvel has been announcing the lineup for the new Avengers team that’s being assembled for the upcoming book by Brian Michael Bendis and John Romita Jr. rolling out this May.
Today’s team member is one that’s been somewhat lacking from the lineup for roughly 4-5 years since his death in Avengers Disassembled. Apparently casting aside his roll as Ronin, Hawkeye is finally officially returning to the Avengers.
*sniff* Anyone got a tissue?
