In the three years since a Shin Megami Tensei / Fire Emblem crossover was first announced, the project has changed a lot.

Marvel Debuts a Patriotic Avengers Team
Just in time for Independence Day, Marvel is unveiling a very patriotic new Avengers team. Today they revealed (via The Washington Post) a new ongoing series entitled U.S.Avengers.
The new series will be written by Al Ewing and drawn by Paco Medina. The book will explore the next evolution of A.I.M. This former science-obsessed terrorist organization was recently taken over by Sunspot, who used A.I.M.'s resources and island hideout to build his own rogue group of Avengers. In U.S.Avengers, Sunspot takes that mission one step further by transforming A.I.M. into "American Intelligence Mechanics." This new group aims to fill the void left by the ailing S.H.I.E.L.D. and protect the United States in the most flamboyant way possible.
