[[Marvel Comics]]' response to ''[[Brightest Day]]'' and the aftermath of ''[[Dark Reign (comics)|Dark Reign]]'' and ''[[Grand Finale|Siege]]''. Its major premise is complete revision of the status quo by combining classic themes with new, fresh ideas.
 
After [[Spider-Man|Norman Osborn's]] downfall things seem to be going a lot better for superheroes – people love them again and old differences seem forgotten. But sinister threats are waiting just around the corner.
Line 6:
To celebrate the start of the Heroic Age, Marvel is closing all four of their [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|Avengers]] titles ([[Dark Avengers]], Mighty Avengers, New Avengers and Avengers: The Initiative), and starting four new ones:
 
* ''Avengers'' vol.4 – written by [[Brian Bendis]], this team is bringing back a classic feeling, one many fans have missed since ''Avengers: Disassembled''. Confirmed team members are [[The Mighty Thor|Thor]], [[Iron Man]], [[Bucky Barnes|the new]] [[Captain America (comics)|Captain America]], [[Hawkeye]] and [[Spider Woman]]. Maria Hill may possibly be their [[Mission Control]].
* ''New Avengers'' vol.2 – a second Bendis book, aimed toward fans of the first New Avengers. Multiple superheroes team up to secretly fight much darker threats. Bendis describes this book as a balance between serious and funny stories, with an often changing roster. Members are [[Luke Cage, Hero for Hire|Luke Cage]], [[Alias (Comic Book)|Jewel]], [[Spider-Man]], [[Wolverine]] and [[Fantastic Four|Thing]], [[Ms. Marvel]]. Previews and teasers claims that one of the [[Dark Avengers]] is going to join the team and some teasers hint it may be [[Marvel Boy|Protector]], but it's been confirmed that another character associated with that team – Victoria Hand – will be connected to New Avengers. Other possible members are [[Doctor Strange]], Mockingbird and [[Immortal Iron Fist|Iron Fist]].
* ''Secret Avengers'' – [[Ed Brubaker]]'s new{{when}} ongoing series. [[Captain America (comics)|Steve Rogers]] is back and leads a secret team of superheroes. His teammates are [[Nova (Comic Book)|Nova]], [[Moon Knight]], [[Black Widow (comics)|Black Widow]], [[X-Men|Beast]], War Machine, Valkyrie, [[Ant-Man]] and Sharon Carter.
* ''[[Avengers Academy]]'' – a continuation of Avengers: The Initiative by Christos Gage. Henry Pym, Tigra, Quicksilver, Justice and Speedball (yes, Speedball again, no more Penance) take a young generation of superheroes under their wings, determined to teach them what it means to be a hero.
* ''Thunderbolts'' - Luke Cage becomes Warden to villiansvillains from the Dark Reign era. Going on assignments to work off their prison sentences. Other Wardens working with him incluseinclude Mac V, Songbird and the Fixer.
Do not confuse with the anime [[Heroic Age]] or Age of Heroes from [[Classical Mythology]].
