I just re-read Wild Thing #2 recently and I had to laugh when I reached the letters page which has letters from other then-recently-cancelled MC2 titles. One particular letter about A-Next caught my interest. It mentions how Spider-Girl joining the Avengers in her own title (#13) helps set her apart from her dad (Tom D, ever the trail-blazer!) and the letter-writers heart-felt hope that A-Next will return. He also suggests when the series does return that it should be titles simply 'Avengers Next'. Now, this was published way back in 1999. The second title to star the MC2 Avengers was in fact titled Avengers Next, which was published in 2007. Coincidence? Fate? Excellent long-term memory on the part of Tom Defalco? We may never know. *cue spooky theme*
Until the MC2 Avengers get another series (this time called, oh, I dunno, Next Avengers?), I remain
frogoat
