Questions for Brian Wood

[sage6paths]

Any guesses on what x-wars is guys?

I have a couple theories.
Kitty vs Mach Two
Kitty vs Karen Grant

or

Kitty joins Xorn and Karen Grant vs Mach Two and Zorn and Colossus. This would be a pretty badass story.

Brian, I have a question! :D

If you were one of the last twenty mutants...would you join Kitty or Mach Two's groups? Or go to the SEAR with Karen Grant?

I just love that all three factions are headed up by women.

Nice I can see it working. I do want to see Jean and the Xorns going all out with their powers.

So which issue is gonna be the "uber-sexy" one you referred to on Twitter, Brian? ^_^

It may have been #24. Note, I never used the term "uber-sexy"... I'm not sure I find anything in the story all that sexy, but there is sexual stuff going on :)

Hi Brian, I love your run on UCXM and really respect you for taking time to come on here and talk to your fans.

I have a 3 part question for you. Are there any plans for a 4th Ultimate Comics ongoing title, would you be prepared to write it if there was and if you could chose another Ultimate Comics ongoing title to write what would it be?

1. I have no idea.
2. No
3. I probably wouldn't, honestly.

Hi Brian, I really enjoyed the latest issue, but I do have one question regarding the cast. With some new story arcs starting soon can we expect a bit of a shake up in who leads the book? No disrespect to you at all, as you clearly give Kitty a distinct voice but she's becoming quite ulikeable and when you have guys like Storm, Rogue, Jimmy, Bobby, Jean all on the sidelines playing second fiddle (it does seem like a continuing Kitty led book tbh 'Kitty Pride feat The X-Men' if you will) I cant help but think it would be great to let some of the others take on the story focus.

So with the announcement of your new "X-Men" series, I was wondering...is it hard collaborating with other writers who share the characters you're writing (Rachel Grey, Storm, Psylocke, etc. are all in other titles)? Do you have to "check" with each other on their character developments and the like?

Hey Brian,

Recently in a Q&A session Bendis revealed that Ultimate Spider-Man will skip ahead in time. How far was unspecified. Will this jump also affect Ultimate X-men as well?

I would also like an answer to this question. ;)

I've not heard a single thing about this.

I'll take that as a no.

Let's start simple with SpiderX who asks, " After the Venom arc what's next and is Marquez back on art duty for the next arc?"

Bendis: Yes. Sara Pichelli is back for the Venom arc, and between her and David Marquez we've got two artists who have just decided to make this the most beautiful comic imaginable. It's such a nice thing for the fans that every issue is better looking than the next. So for the next while, it's all Sara aGnd David. And I can not describe to you how awesome Justin Posner our colorist is. He makes it so seamless of a transition. The cinematography is always the same. He's also doing "Guardians of the Galaxy," and it's something else.

But big things are happening in "Venom War" which includes the return of Gwen Stacy and Mary-Jane Watson as they jump in to help Miles deal with this craziness. Their knowledge of Peter Parker and the world he lived in is something Miles needs, and so they rush to help him. The end of the story will bring about a huge change to Miles' life. This is a character-changing story and not just some Venom story. And after the story, we're going to do a pretty bold time jump for the series. It's a pretty big deal. I got to a place with "Ultimate Spider-Man" where we're allowed to go a little crazy, and I've decided to do so -- both with story status quo and in terms of not having to make every issue the next day.

It's from last week's Axel-in-charge.

I knew someone was going to quote the answer back to me. My answer still stands, I don't know anything about this, have heard nothing about it.
