CUP O' JOE & Axel-In-Charge Q&A: Dedicated Questions Thread

No not a complaint about MI13! but any plans for Faiza? She was the best part of the series and a great well fleshed out Muslim character.

Hey Joe,

I am sad that Doctor Voodoo has been cancelled. I thought Remender was going to have some time to work the long form story. 5 issues seems too little to even Drumm (Ha! Get it?) up interest. Oh well, I hope there are plans for Doctor Voodoo at least?

Also, I notice that there is a March solicit for [I]The Twelve: Spearhead #1[/I]. This is awesome! My only trepidation is that the Inker is listed as 'Array' does that mean a number of inkers? Is there any concept of JMS' original Twelve story getting finished?

With the problems in Subterrania happening in Hickman's FF it would only be natural for the King of the Rock People to be involved. Will we ever see Rockman again?

I kind of liked S.W.O.R.D. but that version of the Beast was just poorly done. I agree with the cancellation just because of that Beast. Any artist who just ignores previous character design and doesn't have the decency to explain the change should be fired. The story had some interesting elements and seemed to have legs, will we see Kieron Gillen on other Marvel stuff?

Got two questions:
What is up with the seemingly killing off the Real She-Hulk Jen Walters in Incredible Hulk #606? That stupid Red Fake She-Hulk killed her off way to easy.
And if that is really what happen then is what the point of the 30th anniversary special for Jen in March?

What happened to the Cup of Joe column? I was following it on MySpace and then lucked onto it here on CBR and now it seems to have died again. Where did it go and did it go anywhere?

Yo Joe!

It was announced not too long ago that Craig Kyle and Chris Yost would be leaving X-Factor at the end of the "Second Coming" storyline, so I'm curious if the title will still continue and if so when the new creative team will be revealed?

Speaking of Second Coming, it looks like Cable is ending at issue #25, but does Duane Swierczynski have any major new Marvel projects in the works that fans should be on the look out for?

I loved Dark Reign: Elektra. The absence of dialogue from Elektra was perfect, and Clay Mann's artistic storytelling made this book truly outstanding. So what are plans for Elektra? Does she have a role in Marvel post-Seige? I would love to see at least a limited series.

On a related note, will Clay Mann be spending more time on X-Men Legacy after Greg Land draws it in April? His representation of women is fantastic, and his Rogue and Psylocke are beautiful.

Is an artist assigned to an arc to fit the characters and storyline on X-Men Legacy? Acuna was fantastic for the ethereal element of the Emplate arc.

And the boards have generated a lot of buzz about the return of Husk. It's made a lot of people happy, so the question is, will she be used more often with the positive reaction to her appearance in Legacy? Could we maybe even get a one-shot featuring the living members of Generation X?

Joe,

Just saw a showcase of the Deadpool variants. First off...hilarious. Overexposed or not, you guys know how to draw him in funny situations. The Dark Avengers/Sentry variant had to be the funniest.

But here's my question: I saw the Deadpool variant for Siege (with the squirrel) and I noticed that the cover said "1 of 5". Did you add another issue to Siege?

Hey JQ

Your old pal Timomcshade here. Marvel currently as a load of mini-events going on: Fall of the Hulks, Assault on New Olypmpus, Doom War, Nation X, X Necrosha, Second Coming(upcoming), Realm of Kings and of course the big Daddy that is Siege. All of these events seem to be leading to major status quo shakeups in many books and most of the events overlap with Siege. Was this planned initially or did they all just wind up falling in line like this? I got to hand it to your writers and editors though as each story is excellent. Thanks.

Hey Joe,

I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering when Marvel Motion Comics will make it international (I'm in the UK)? When we all discovered they were USA only on release we were promised it was being worked on and they'd be available to us soon, but months later there's still no sign... I'd hope that in this globalised age a company like Marvel would be trying to sell its products to as wide an audience as possible, and it surely can't be that hard to get something on international iTunes stores... There are loads of us around the world who can't get enough of Marvel comics and characters, so hopefully we'll have access to this resource soon as well.

p.s. if Marvel comics ever go for live web release, please ensure they are available internationally too.

Hey, Mr. Quesada:

When this Heroic Age stuff starts to kick in, I want to know if the following characters will be a part of it:

Black Panther (TChalla, Shuri), Blade, Iron Fist, Cloak, Dagger, Pulsar, Luke Cage, Dr. Voodoo..

hey joe
two questions
1. will the frank miller daredevil omnibus ever get a new printing in the near future?

2.the captain britain omnibus was an awesome collection of marvel uk comics. will we ever get trades reprinting more marvel uk material? perhaps the black knight strip from the hulk comic.

Hi Joe!

Just wondering about more Omnibus books for the future: specifically another Amazing Spider-Man (John Romita Sr. era goodness!) and another Hulk omnibus?

Also want to put the word in for a Mark Gruenwald Cap Visionaries set -- either from his first issue as writer or the start of the John Walker Cap/US Agent saga (CA #332-354).

Hey Joe,

Any chance that we will have more then Ironman, Wolverine, X-men and Blade done by Madhouse animation?

How about Black Panther (See Wakanda and Die) and Ironfist?

Yo Joe!

I know it's been announced that Echo will be popping up in Bendis' Spider-Woman title, but beyond what others are there for the character? Any chance of Echo rejoining the Avengers or perhaps showing up in the life of her former flame Matt Murdock?

Dear Joe,

Let me first say that I have loved Marvel comics for many years now. While I enjoy Batman and Green Lantern, Wolvie and the X-gang always feels like coming home.

Recently, I have started to branch out. I have been reading Hulk and Avengers titles. I am pleased with everything that is going on in them and plan on reading them for many years to come. However, my biggest surprise was Spider-Man. I can't believe how much I have enjoyed everything that up until recently flew under the Brand New Day banner. However, recently I was upset by what, as I saw it, was kowtowing to the soccer moms. Peter Parker got drunk and slept with his roommate. Later it was retconned because why? It upset some people to see an adult make a mistake? It wasn't even a great comedy moment, unlike the the great Deadpool issue. It did nothing to serve the story and it smacked of the need for approval of the masses. Why was this done? This is an issue that needs to be addressed. We all felt sorry for Peter, but he 'fessed up and handled the consequences of his mistakes. Why confuse a perfectly good moral lesson with such unnecessary apologies?

Secondly, and I know this has been asked repeatedly, What is up with all the delays? Captain America Reborn 6 could have been great. Now, like the problem with Giant-Size Astonishing X-men, I pretty much find out what happens in all the other books. Isn't there some sort of accountability system in place? Steve Rogers and Kitty Pryde's stories were ruined by other comics coming out on time. There has to be a way to stop this type of stuff from happening. Don't worry, I'm pissed at DC too.

However, I am still in awe of most of Marvel comics. I thank the good Lord that I am reading Iron Man and Uncanny X-men under the pen of Matt Fraction. Mike Carey's stories are always interesting and well thought out. Bendis is doing great things with the Avengers. It is a wonderful time to be a fan. I am a little leery about this "Heroic Age" optimist stuff, but if it is good, I will read it. I hope all is well with you and yours. Make Mine Marvel.
