Questions for Brian Wood

[WeaponX7373]

I was wondering if you could give us some insight into what villians you will be bringing into play in the series? Are you using established ones or are you planning on creating some of your own? Name dropping is always appriciated.

Welcome abroad Mr.Wood, the only question I have would be for you to ask your follow Ultimate writers would Victor von Damme be returning ? cause there are somethings that could be still done with him. Other then that I will wish you the best I hope to be reading more of your work soon.

I am pretty sure Victor von Damme is dead...

Hey thanks for answering the question even with a I can't answer that. It's seriously awesome to have a creator take time like this to go on the board and answer questions.

Let me try one more, will the team have a base or will they be vagabonds?

[Time_to_Zap]

That's a very broad question. Generally, sure, but not as a main focus. And romance can come in different forms.

I love vague. But thank you so much for answering despite said vagueness.

[Wolverine12]

I think everyone involved sees the folly in leaving threads dangling. We're working on how to tie everything up while still allowing for me to write the story I was hired to write. But as far as what was Nick's original plan? I don't know.

Thanks for the insight, I can completely understand where you are coming from on this. I look forward to reading what you're bringing to the table. Both in the UU and in 616.

That's a pretty good question. The answer is: neither! (ooooh!)

So they're renting an apartment?

[robcastor729]

Other then Kitty's X-Men Squad, Will their be any other Teams operating with or against Her Squad?

Since Kitty is becoming more pro-active in her actions. Will she start carrying weapons? Like eskrima batons or blades?

The thing that always worries me when a new writer or artist comes on to the line is wither or not they've done their research, so to speak. Sometimes a writer or artist will come along who's clearly never read an Ultimate book, and will fill in their lack of knowledge with 616 information.

I also dislike it when a writer comes about and doesn't use past events at all. No references, no building on what's come before. It's like their only concerned with their story and what they've written, disregarding the fact that it's simply one piece of a greater whole. Makes the book feel less like "Ultimate _________" and more like "Writer X Presents: Alternate Version of X-Men/Avengers". Nor is is very realistic.

Not really I question, I know, but I'd like to get your thoughts on this.

It seems like you ARE asking a question, and its: "are you either of these people?"

Do you have plans to make Jimmy someone ill actually care about or is he gonna be there to fill a CLAWs quota? and Any hints on who your x team will consist of?

[wyokid]

What makes you different than any of the other UXM writers before you? In your opinion what sets you apart?

Sorry if this seems rude, no disrespect is meant by it.

These are all such blatantly leading questions! Haha.

There is no claws quota that I know about. Somehow I doubt one exists, but who knows. Maybe the secret cabal within Marvel is planning some sort of initiation ritual where all will me revealed to me.

And Kitty's team is unchanged at the moment: Rogue, Bobby, Jimmy, Johnny.
