Marvel revealed the creative team for the All-New, All-Different Avengers which arriving on Free Comic Book Day.

Veteran writer Mark Waid (Daredevil, Captain America) and Mahmud Asrar (All-New X-Men) assemble for the relaunch of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. The All-New Captain America, Thor, Vision, Ms. Marvel, Nova and Miles Morales, the Ultimate Spider-Man represent a diverse team of classics and new faces.

Waid explained what makes a good roster:

“To my mind, a mix of veterans and rookies is number one on the list of “things that make a good Avengers team.” Another is making sure the characters themselves contrast nicely with one another, not only in powers but in personalities and backstories; to me, the fun of writing any team book is seeing how its members react to one another in the non-action moments. What happens when you strand these two on a desert island? What about when you take these three, who’ve never shared page-time before, and send them on a do-or-die mission? And do their powers complement one another? How are they better together than apart?,” Waid told Marvel.com.

This team in Marvel’s Free Comic Book Day issue is a first look at the universe after Secret Wars. Waid gave teases about what to watch for in the issue:

“We laid down several hints, but I’d hate to give any of them away. I can think of at least four Easter eggs that should stand out to long-time readers about what’s upcoming. It would have been five had I had room to talk about the importance of the Vision’s new cape!”

The Avengers by Waid and Asrar arrive on Free Comic Book Day, May 2nd.
