NYCC: Rick Remender Takes Over ‘Secret Avengers’ With Gabriel Hardman. Fist Pump.

Rick Remender is a true pimp and glorious scribe within the pages of Venom  and Uncanny X-Force, one of my favorite monthly titles. News hast dropped that he’ll be taking over Secret Avengers  and I am very much enhappied.

It’s probably not surprising to find out the writer who works in the “black ops” areas of the Spider-Man and X-Men titles will swim in similar waters with the Avengers. Today at the  Avengers: Shattered Heroes  panel at the New York Comic Con, Marvel announced that  Uncanny X-Force  and  Venom  writer Rick Remender will take over  Secret Avengers  with issue #21.1. He’ll be joined on issue #22 by regular artist Gabriel Hardman (Hulk).

“Yeah, it’s going to be a fun year,”  Remender told Newsarama. “I’m definitely planning on interconnecting the three titles, and having a lot of things hopping from one to the other, which is fun. I can create my own little covert universe.”

The team roster will go through a bit of a change, as you can see in the promo art above by Art Adams. Hawkeye will lead the team, with new additions being Captain Britain and Giant Man. Issue #21.1 will introduce a new Masters of Evil and will feature artwork by Patrick Zircher.
