Newsarama's got an interview with the writer, Allan Heinberg, but he doesn't spill too much information about tomorrow's launch. He's another member of the Hollywood influx, so who knows what to expect. But lookit the purty pictures by Jim Cheung...

The Hulk has to be a teenage girl right? Him and Thor seem buddy buddy...do they cuddle?
I do like Thor Boy's look. I was hoping he was asian....an asian teenage Thor would be cool. Maybe he's that kid with the legacy virus...Bolt was it?
Not interested in Patriot much. Iron Lad on the other hand...and the Kang mention...interests me alot!
I am sore at Marvel and the Avengers stuff overall but I will get the first trade and if it's good will get more.

Great art. I've always been a fan of Cheung's, but he's gotten a lot more detailed and less stylish - color me impressed. The Hulking does look kinda femimine, facially. I think I read that we've seen at least a few of these guys before. At first I thought "Young Cap" might be Justice (Vance Astro) considering what his future holds as per "Guardians of the Galaxy", but it doesn't look like it from the lack of powers and his attitude.
Not too thrilled about the notion of Kang showing up again - he's as overused as The Time Trapper at this point, though I hope they'll think of something new and interesting this time around (assuming he shows up). It does raise the possibility that Iron Lad's "more advanced" armor is from the future (or that Patriot is from the past ... say WWII??). I almost hope Iron Lad is Machine Man back from wherever the hell he went after X-51, but that's a looooong shot.
The continuity with The Pulse works nicely here. The new Marvel is really the house that Bendis built isn't it?

Yeah, that occured to me -- he basically disappeared after the Onslaught thing didn't he? I know there was some convoluted explanation why the real Tony Stark came back (Franklin Richards worked his mojo), but I don't remember what happened to "teen tony". Kang of course was the one who drove Iron Man mad during "The Crossing", hmm......

I was ambivalent towards this book. It seemed ok, but Marvel's been hit/miss with the Hollywood folks, IMHO, and Heinberg's credits didn't exactly fill me with joy...
I like Jimmy Cheung, so it was on my radar, but likely to be missed, until I saw the first few pages online. The writing really worked for me. I liked the first few pages of YA grabbed me more than any of Bendis' Avengers have.
So, I'm buying it...
And I think Iron Lad is the Vision.
J Actually likes Kang, so bring him on!
