The New Avengers is a comic book published by Marvel Comics. Written by Brian Michael Bendis, the man behind the events of Avengers Disassembled, it is the story of a group of superheroes, brought together by fate and reforming the team known as the Avengers.
The founding members of this new team were gathered together by accident, when supervillian Hydro attacked the S.H.I.E.L.D Raft installation, a maximum security prison for super-powered criminals and broke out an inmate known as Karl Lykos.
He shut the entire prison down, allowing all of the prisoners to escape. Spider-Woman, Daredevil (as Matt Murdock) and Luke Cage were joined by Captain America, and Spider-Man, and then Iron Man to try and contain the situation. Forty two inmates escaped.
Captain America decided that fate had brought this group together, just as it had the original Avengers. All but Daredevil, going through his own personal crisis, joined the new group of Avengers. With the Avengers Mansion still in pieces, Tony Stark (Iron Man) is headquartering the new team in Stark Tower.
Though he has yet to make an appearance, a character named Ronin is set to join the team.
