It goes without saying that Marvel's comic book continuity is a bit more complicated than its cinematic universe. In the movies, the Avengers are always the same people: Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, etc. In the comics, however, the roster seems to be changing constantly: sometimes Spider-Man shows up, other times Wolverine is a member and it seems like Captain America is only a part-time Avenger at this point. It's not quite as consistent as its big screen counterpart, but the Avengers comic book certainly take the cake when it comes to character variety.
Case in point: Marvel has just revealed Uncanny Avengers #1, yet another reshuffling of Earths' Mightiest Heroes. It's a bold move considering the only 'recognizable' Avenger on the roster is The Vision, while everyone else is a newcomer. It's a pretty huge shake-up following the events of AXIS, and the changes are immediately noticeable:
Considering that Avengers: Age of Ultron is coming out next year, many would expect Marvel's comic books to reflect its films. While there's bound to be some tie-ins down the road, it doesn't seem like Marvel is abandoning its new team anytime soon, either.
For the time being, it looks like there are some new Avengers in town.
Uncanny Avengers #1 will be available digitally later this month.
