Yeah that's what I think its odd, I kind of like that he doesn't have his iconic look for a change (I know the status quo will eventually come back) but its kind of weird that he doesn't act much like Doom. Although him just showing up eating potato chips was funny.

Oh shit can't unsee

Why does he wear the mask!?
knew I recognized the face
To be fair, that's not an especially high bar to climb.

I was kinda enjoying New Avengers until I realized it was trying too hard to be Doom Patrol. Already stoped reading it.

Whoah Standoff was good?
Don't you mean ANAD Avengers?
Cant wait for when Civil War II turns out good.
Lots of people who liked the 0 issue.
But hey, complaining months before the actual book came out is easy.
Nothing will relaunch, this will be the start for a couple of new books like they did in the last cycle.
I personally thought Standoff was terrible. It's a decent sidestory, but it doesn't have enough meat or consequences to really be sold as a Marvel event.
Off the top of my head, we got
Thunderbolts, Quasar, and rejuvenated Steve
It's the best Marvel event in years.
That was a Waid book; it was never going to last anyway.
It's a Bendis event book retreading an event that wasn't good in the first place, and the FCBD issue was trash; it probably won't be a complete dumpster fire like Age of Ultron or Guardians of the Galaxy, but there's no chance it turns out actually good.
No.
We don't know fullly yet but most likely a soft relaunch
Hopefully Hickman and Remender are coming back.
Now that we're reaching the end of ANAD Marvel I'm curious to see what Marvel tries to push next like they did with Iron Man, Dr. Strange, and Black Panther.
We're also getting a new Star-Lord book.

ANAD is the best-selling Avengers book.
Crossing my fingers for a good Cosmic book again, but bracing for more ebic dance space meme man.
It really depends on who they put on the book.
Why is the art so bad for it then? Every other avengers book has better interiors.
Please be good and not copy Pratt Lord. I think they'll push those 3 still with Spidey.

No clue. Here's last month's sales.
All New All Different Avengers #8: 51,925
Avengers Standoff Assault On Pleasant Hill Omega #1: 49,012
Uncanny Avengers #8: 45,659
New Avengers #9: 30,835
New Avengers #10: 30,102
Ultimates #6: 26,146
In general, I really like the angle of "HYDRA emerging from the current refugee crisis and general racial enmity" in Captain America, and how it doesn't really talk down with the "bad guys." It'd be really easy to draw the anti-immigrant crowd in green jumpsuits, tossing out Nazi salutes, and cheer on Cap when he punches their lights out. But there's this really strong "people are people" undercurrent to it all, which I respect Spencer a lot for.
In general it feels like - yeah, this is the sort of subject matter of a Captain America book SHOULD be about. Topical, but in an appropriate way.

Also I was so happy to see Jack Flag again, and so sad when he got knocked out of a plane...

Nothing like a issue #1 to boost sales. That Squirrel Girl cover is right. It is not that reboots are the new hot thing, but renumbering.
It is sad that the best Avengers book (Ultimates) is the last on the list. Cannot stand Old Cap X-men, and New Avengers got bad really fast. ANAD Avengers is great though.
They say the best books are the ones with the least sales.
Glad to know I wasn't crazy by seeing some resemblance.
Speaking of Doom, his absence in The Last Days of Magic is weird. We even got the tibetean Doom!
She has been learning to speak squirrel with the other two guys whom I totally forgot their name because they are that remarkable.
God damn it Earth, stop failing at everything.

I agree, I think the book itself is fine. They just need to cram in "Avengers" in there. Branding!
That didn't really work for Mighty Avengers. I think it has more to do with the lineup and story.
Ultimates should be #1
Uncanny is doing better than it? Jesus DP has some pull.
NA is actually pretty good for what it is, Saturday Morning Avengers.
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
I hated NA at first, grew to love it

What issues?
It seems to be just flat out ignoring them which is more honest for Bendis.
