With the final round of “Avengers vs. X-Men” on the shelves, Marvel begins a new era with a relaunch of a number of their series and the release of several new ones.

Teasers flooded the web hinting what will happen to the universe, but readers no longer have to guess.  It will start with the release of the first issue of “Uncanny Avengers and Hulk No. 58” on Oct. 10.  The creative teams of these stories shuffled many of the characters within the universe to create unique lineups and casts.

While the iconic members such as Captain America and Thor are still there, a mix of lesser [compared to the icons] characters such as Sif and Legion are playing bigger roles.  The relaunch is full of new sets of lead writers and artists, including Deadpool writers Brian Posehn and Gerry Duggan who both work the comedic television industry, bringing fresh eyes to the Marvel veteran staff.

As the end of 2012 approaches, “Marvel NOW!” begins.  For more information on the rest of the “Marvel NOW!” titles, visit Marvel.com or your local comic book vendor.
