Avengers: The Origin

I spotted this on Marvel's website. I'm not sure if it's been discussed here yet.

From what I understand, in April Marvel's coming out with "Avengers: the Origin" in the wake of Siege's dismantling of the 4 "Avengers" titles.

I gotta say, of all current writers, Casey's my favorite when it comes to handling the Avengers. Busiek comes second.

Looks interesting. I'm a sucker for anything that revisits "the good old days" so I'll probably pick this up when it's released as a trade. Based on his work on Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Casey--for the most part--seems to respect continuity while doing a good job of creatively filling in the gaps (such as the Avengers' reactions to Hank becoming YJ in EMH vol. #2).

I'd love to see Casey tackle the Kooky Quartet era again (they appeared in part of EMH vol. #1, but in EMH vol. #2 Casey focused on the time the Vision joined).
