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

Will we see any more Marvel Animated Movies in 2010?

Like Annihilation, Captain Britain with MI13, or Dark X-Men?

Hey Joe,

Will J. Scoot Campbell be doing any interior work for Marvel any time soon? I remember there was a Spider-Man story announced some years ago but nothing came of it. Can Campbell Do some more work other than Covers for you guys? thanks

Hey Joe,

When are you guys going to bring Alpha Flight back? With all the ace talent you have I can't believe not one writer at Marvel can figure out what to do with the characters.
How about it Joe, will you put out a mandate for an idea for an Alpha Flight ongoing?

Hey Joe,

First i want to say that i am highly enjoying Uncanny right now and can't wait to read Second coming.
Anyhow here's a question from the Netherlands, now that Marvel and Disney have joinded forces is there any change that some of Crossgen's titles (Which Disney aquired) get remodeled and folded into the Marvel universe? Specialy Sojourn, Negation and Mystic? 'Cause with this rift thing in the Cosmic side of the Marvel universe happening, it would be cool if it somehow integrated those worlds into the Marvel proper. I think it would be great fit.. But heck, that's just me :)

So, Anything happening on the Crossgen properties, talks, ideas, anything?
Anyway, keep on doing what you are doing!

Greets from across the big pond.

Hey Joe, Anything planned for Cloak and Dagger? A mini, an ongoing, or more one-shots?

Hiya Joe!

Absolutely loved Patrick Zircher's Variant covers for the Iron Man: Stark Disassemled arc, so I'm curious if we can expect any interior Marvel projects from him soon?

Hi. As you can tell, I'm pretty confused and would love some advice.

I basically watched most of the marvel/dc cartoons when I was younger and just recently wanted to get into the comic books themselves. X-men being my favorite, what would be a good start? There just seems to be so many different books that are x-men related :confused: Thanks in advance.

*I don't think this is the right thread! Sorry.

Joe,

Is there any chance of Marvel upping the frequency of the Peter David Hulk Visionaries trades?

Hello Mr.Quesada.

The promo image for the Spider-Man comics in 2010 from several things showed Spider-Man in his black costume.
Any chance in giving some info about when Spider-Man will return using his black costume again in 2010 ?

I attended Wondercon this last weekend and was more than a little disappointed to find that a Marvel booth wasn't there. What factors come into play when deciding whether or not to represent at a convention?

joe, i read an interview from bendis and noticed that siege 4 is delayed until may 12th now instead of april. i was wondering why there is always a delay from what seems to be the major events (old man logan, civil war and secret invasion come to mind). i understand that often times the books suddenly get bigger and more pages but isn't it the job of an editor to keep up with scheduling and stories. i feel after this crossover is done i will not be getting anymore and possibly dropping more marvel books as well. of course i will have to get the last book since i have already invested in the other 3 and would cheat myself even more but dropping the last one. but really, why is there so many delays?

Greetings, Mr. Quesada, I have a couple of brief questions:

1. Is there any truth to the notion that Blade or War Machine are going to be a part of the Secret Avengers or this 'ShadowLand' concept that was leaked some months ago? I really like both characters, and I think it would be intriguing to see them as part of a group, especially if the Secret Avengers are a 'black-ops' X-Force type squad, going up against really nasty villains.

2. I'm really digging the current [I]Captain America [/I]arc; "Bad Cap" is a piece of work, but I'm intrigued about his days before he went off the deep end; any chance for a flashback one-shot about his 50's tenure?

3. Now that "[I]Siege[/I]" is poised to be over, I wonder about the future of Norman Osborn. Short of spoiling anything, will his influence still continue in the Marvel U.?

4. I'm looking forward to the upcoming [I]New Avengers: Luke Cage [/I]mini-series; any theoretical chance he may show up in the planned [I]Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes[/I] animated series?

Joe - Considering the recent relocation of the X-Men to San Francisco - Marvel is aware that the symbol of San Francisco (as shown on their flag) is the Phoenix risng from the ashes? Serendipity, right?

Is there any way we can bribe Warren Ellis to write and/or direct a Nextwave, Agents of H.A.T.E movie?

Mr. Quesada;

I am curious if there are any plans to be a little more stringent with continuity in marvel events.

Recently we had the Dr. Doomer Story from Millar in Fantastic Four, which though an excellent story, has seemed to have been ignored and thusly retconed out by every other writer who has dealt with Doom since (and Doom's been pretty busy, if he was still Dr. Doomer you would think it would come up).

Then you have the whole "When is this happening" issue with Fall of the Hulks, and World War Hulks. You could just say it's happening at some other time pre-siege or post siege, but they keep referencing other events and characters that put it at once, during Civil War, during Dark Reign, and after Siege.

These are both great stories, and I enjoyed them, but they are a couple of particularly major examples of a general problem with continuity that seems to be creeping more and more into the M.U.

I know that story always has to come first, but shouldn't a little internal logic and editorial standards be put in place, either saying, that a writer can't change character X, of if they do everyone should understand how that change affects their use of character X? Likewise, setting a real time line internally for when your events are occurring, so that they aren't flying in the face of someone else’s story.

If all I read were Hulk books or Fantastic Four, I would be fine, but I'm pretty sure you want me to read every single book Marvel puts out (I do my best) so would it be too much trouble to just make sure I'm not pulling my hair out when I decide to do so?
