They're back, and more like a fantasy adventuring party than ever before. This book is full of action and the one liners had me ROLLING. I strongly suggest this book- it may just get you reading marvel regularly again.

Were there any references to the original series?

No references to the original team are made, although there is a chance that Cap's shield may come into play as a bit of an homage to the previous series.
Man, I hope they tone back the named-character body count from what Annihilation was dealing with. Especially since it turns out every member of the groups is a character I genuinely like.
Characters I like haven't fared so well in the last few years of books from both Marvel and DC.
I agree completely, although I am a die hard Green Lantern and Legion of Super Heroes fan on the DC side, and a new Guardians of the Galaxy and New Warriors fan on the Marvel side. These over the top crossovers are making me sick.
