While Cap's unofficial Avengers team is yet to receive official designation from Marvel themselves (we'll just call them the Secret Avengers for now), it's clear that they're active in the months leading up to Thanos' big parade.

The comic, set a few months after Civil War, features Sam Wilson, Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff on a clandestine operation in Syria. Their ranks have certainly dwindled since Civil War, with Scott Lang having returned to look after his daughter (again, he's a fugitive though?), and Barton already accounted for with his family, but that doesn't mean they've stopped Avenging.

In this instance, it's more of a case of 'pre-emptive Avenging', with the threesome dropping into a the very real and very tragic Syrian Civil War, which has only been made worse by the presence of some rather unnerving weaponry. We'll get into that in a second, but one thing to note here is that no one in the team is sporting a costume, with covert operations now presumably the name of the game.

It's a departure from Cap's past, and one that could have some significant implications rolling into the Avengers' inevitable reunification come April.
