Marvel's The Twelve announced

NEWSARAMA.COM: SDCC '07 - MARVEL'S THE TWELVE REVEALED: "This series has been teased for sometime on Chris Weston's blog and here at Newsarama in an edition of New Joe Fridays earlier this year, but the series wasn't officially announced until today at San Diego Comicon. That series is The Twelve.

The Twelve is a 12-issue miniseries by writer J. Michael Straczynski and artist Chris Weston, and features twelve heroes from the earliest heroes of Marvel mythology.

While some of Marvel's first heroes such as Namor and Captain America have blossomed into the foundation for the Marvel Universe, there are others that for one reason or another weren't able to have a firm grip as Marvel evolved. But no more. In this twelve issue series scheduled to begin in Spring 2008, these heroes (and villains) are revived and rejuvenated and brought into the 21st century."
