-Elektra and the Hand
Yeah, really interesting and cool stuff. He also talks about NA#16 and his thoughts on fan reaction to it and interesting Civil War stuff. And he answered my questions at the end! I smiled the whole way through his answers and laughed at my attempt at a no-prize.

Thanks again to John Siuntres and Brian Bendis for taking the time and everyone should check the podcasts out.

... He also talks about NA#16 and his thoughts on fan reaction to it and interesting Civil War stuff.

Could you summarize, please? I don't particularly want to listen to 3 hours of interview, but I'm interested in what he thought about reactions.

[Tony Starkz]

It's like an hour long,I doubt anyone has the time to summarize it.It's in installments,this one is only an hour.

Spider-Woman fans: Bendis answered several questions about the upcoming SW ongoing he is doing with Alex Maleev:

"1-If sales of the Spider-Woman book are decent enough, do you anticipate staying on the book for a long time?

Yes

2-We already heard from you that Morgan Le Fay and possibly Nekra will be back, but do you plan on revamping/reinvigorating certain "lame" characters/concepts from the original Spider-Woman book that imo could become great villains, like the Brothers Grimm, The Enforcer (I think this one in particular could rock under your pen) and Excaliber?

Yes


3-Any chance of dusting-off (or even creating a brand new)
Night Shift to battle Jessica?

We haven't thought about a new Night Shift, but that's interesting..."

Alright,I'll do the same for NA fans.

Bendis basically confirmed the following:

-the current team will never be together again after CW
-Bendis voiced his desire to work with JRJR on New Avengers in the future
-Ultron is coming up
-the new Masters of Evil are coming up(Zemo may,or may not,be the leader)
-Elektra and the Hand are coming up
-the NA Annual will be balls to the wall action
-(from a past wordballoon podcast) DD will appear in future issues of NA
-Bendis said that Dr.Doom,Kang,the Kree,Skrulls will all appear in post-CW New Avengers,along with the already mentioned Ultron and Masters of Evil

-Bendis voiced his desire to work with JRJR on New Avengers in the future


Oh I would love this. That would be so sweet to have JRjr do a couple of arcs with Bendis. It would have tobe huge and Bendis would need to tone down so of the talking heads.

-Bendis voiced his desire to work with JRJR on New Avengers in the future


Thanks for posting this. All exciting news but that one. John Romita Jr. on Avengers, Thanks but no thanks. :eek:

[Will.S]

-Elektra and the Hand are coming up
I could already see people moaning "Ninjas again?!? Dammit!".

[Tony Starkz]

I may have missed some things,but those are the ones that really jumped out at me.Despite the Dissassembled arc,New Avengers looks like it's finally picking up.Now that the character centered arcs are out of the way (sentry,ronin,spider-woman),I'm looking forward to the fun stuff Bendis has in store.

Me too.
I am particularly looking forward to the storyline that involves Elektra leading The Hand and the Masters Of Evil one.
