Two More 'Secret Avengers' Revealed!

Valkyrie and Moon Knight? Yup!

Marvel has certainly been really good about getting fans excited and talking about the new team members on their upcoming Secret Avengers series, haven't they? Maybe I just haven't been paying enough attention, but what I have really liked about these announcements is that the team they seem to have put together is so eclectic-- and I really didn't see it coming. We announced that Beast would be joining War Machine on the new team, and now we have two more Secret Avengers to add to the list: Valkyrie and Moon Knight. Seriously, who would put Valkyrie with Moon Knight? It feels like they are pulling characters from all the different corners of the Marvel Universe and getting them onto the same team-- I kind of love it. Are you excited about the upcoming book? 
Check the solicit below.

Looks like we have Nova and Steve Rogers in a really bad looking costume. This doesn't appear to be the entire roster though. According to writer Ed Brubaker:

I'm also excited about all this, Babs, and having Moon Knight added WILL get me to buy the series!!  Valkyrie is also a nice addition, having a powerhouse like her is a good idea.  
O.K., I need to step back...Moon Knight!!   
Wonder who else may be added?

When her page was revealed, did she have a spear? (Y'know when she was blackened out..)

@sora_thekey:  No, she did not. They have been removing key objects, details to keep us from guessing as well. 
 
Beast: Fur and claws 
War Machine: Missile launcher and minigun 
Valkyrie: Sword and Spear 
Moon Knight: Details of his boots.

Moon Knight : check  ^_^
Valkyrie : unexpected but awesome. Though it appears she'll be the only female in the group which is unfortunate.

Who would put the Valkyrie with the Moon Knight? How about David Anthony Kraft, during his 1977-1979 stint as writer of The Defenders. Moon Knight didn't actually join the team... but really, who did... but he hung around for one multi-part story.

 In fact, at one point, The Beast was a Defender, too. Curious as to whether this team will be a new version of the Defenders.

@kerukun878:  We know Steve isn't on the other Avengers teams. Captain Bucky will join Iron Man and Thor on the 'Avengers'. 
 
But who else but Steve fits this quote? He's the only one I can think of.

This team is looking awesome. This might be more like Warren ellis thunderbolts than some of us thought Dark Avengers could have been. i'm really looking forward to this can't wait to find out the whole team   
So much for Valkyrie's picture being the Scarlet Witch

Valkyries hot...but the spear is too thin and the sword isn't functional as the cross-guard would hinder wielding..but...VALKYRIE IS HOT!!

I hope this doesn't mean they're canning Moon Knights solo series. Still, Secret Avengers looks to be good.

@DMC:  Steve is on the team. He was shown on the Avengers #2 cover along with them but just dressed in black like he is in Avengers Prime.  
 
Thinking that could be several people. Way too vague.

i'm super excited for this title especially now that moon knight's on there...and i completely agree with @DMC that's definitely Steve. Question who is...who is the last secret avenger? I'm going with either Nova, Johnny Storm, or the Sentry, and leaving more towards the final two.

Someone must have called this. I'm so glad that these are real interesting characters being added to the team not just random guys. Though I don't really care about Moon Knight I'm excited for Valkyrie, War Machine and Beast.

Secret Avengers? Everyone keeps saying the female figure is Scarlet Witch but after that whole Loki thing I don't see anyway it's her.After someone said Valkyrie I'm holding on to it.Look at how her hair is shaped in the silhouette,the cape,it's gotta be her.

yeah but where is the shiel  (though im pretty sure you are right and it is cap).  
 
anyway, im pretty mad once this stuff was revealed.  i mean, i think marvel unpurposely made it seem like Scarlet Witch and Taskmaster, what with their quotes and poses and stuff.   this is pretty annoying.

I think it might be Patriot from the Young Avengers.There are very few Avengers left that have been leaders.

I don't really know much about Valkyrie, but Beast, War Machine, and Moon Knight all on one team is more than enough to make me want to buy this series.
