"You put Spider-Man on the team and all of a sudden everyone is kind of reacting differently. You're going to get a lot more of that here; a lot of romance, a lot of new hook-ups, a lot of post-War cuddling and all that starts here."

Cuddle War Wonderman takes the blankets. I really like the idea of Bendis and a 100 characters.

Your welcome Mr Bib.

Bendis was happy to take the assignment of writing "The Initiative," but he had one caveat. "I said, 'I don't want to write Warren's Thunderbolts,"' he stated.

Hey, Bendis finally decided not to write something!

I was like, 'Let Warren write his, but I'll do the rest.'"

Oh. Nevermind, then.

As long as he keeps his artistic ticks on a low burner, I might actually try it out. It's the thing that turns me off of a Bendis-title, he uses the same tricks over and over, and if you read 3 titles written by him, they start to blend together to form an unattractive glob of repetition.

Glad he has plans for Wanda, Hawkeye, and the majority of the villian landscape post-Civil War. Can't wait to see if Wanda still has her powers or not though. The sooner NA #26 gets here, the better.

"I'll be talking later this year about some things going on in 'New Avengers,'" Bendis continued. "Particularly, someone rising to the occasion. In the real world, after any war, the mob really has a field day; Murder Inc, the Jersey rise after the first Gulf War. After every war someone profits greatly and we're going to have someone step up dramatically after 'Civil War.' It will be dealt with in the Avengers books."

Sounds awesome! Avengers may definitely be the book to watch next year.

Sounds like a must-buy.

I'll reserve judgment until I know the new New Avengers line-up. If it's a more traditional line-up (like Mighty Avengers), then I won't be bothering with it.
