So after SIEGE comes "The Heroic Age"...
With the ending of these books this brings up a number of questions.
I honestly think these four books will be replaced by four more... but which ones? Will there be a relaunch? Maybe an 'Avengers' title instead of New, Mighty and Dark? Will the adjectives change?

SoratheKey - If any of you guys remember I announced that a new title after Siege was leaked... The name was 'Avengers Academy'... I bet this will be the one that repaces 'Avengers: Initiative'
What do you guys think?
