Nobody likes Kyle. I can't believe more than one person actually said they did.

I like Kyle; hate Northstar; LOVE Aurora.

What did iceman turn to in that page? I think this was the shortest interview ever.

You like Kyle? Eff off.

I do like Kyle. He doesn't take shit from the riff-raff (aka, The New Mutants) on Utopia.

She misspelt Cecilia again. =[

I like Marjorie Liu… I haven’t liked most of her Marvel work, but she’s got chops. That said, I’m not a fan of the book currently. Too heavy on clunky dialogue, the characters seem exaggerated in weird ways and the action is… “meh”. I pulled the book from my pull list, but I’m keeping an eye on it, as you can see.

I was stunned when she said, “It's always hard to predict how long anyone will stay on a book -- which means that I'll write "Astonishing" for as long as I'm needed.” I perked up. I feel bad that I did, but I perked up. I love her line-up… it is one of the most diverse I’ve seen ever and I’m happy about that. She hand picked a unique and risky team... she a brave lady to do so. But because that is the case, it needs to be tighter… I’m praying for Greg Pak to come back, but between his new X-book and a recent film grant he received… I think this might be out of the question.

I hope Marvel gives Marjorie a new book. I’d be happy if they gave her a new She-Hulk book. I think she’d do much better with one character with a great back story. I’m not saying this as a pawn off, She-Hulk is one of my faves. I just think Marjorie would be better on that book, not an ensemble adult team book. Hell, I think she’d do an amazing job with Runaways if they brought them back… she does "teen" well. Ah well, I’m glad she’s still writing, but I worry about this book.

I would have love to see Liu do the team-up/mentoring of X-23 and Black Widow, that look like Marvel missed the boat on that one.

Wouldn't it be the transcriber who spelt it wrong as I would think it is a spoken interview and that Liu doesn't write her answers.

Would Black Widow have taught X-23 to "fake it to make it?"

That is correct.

[remydat]

There seemed to be a lot of shitty questions in this interview. 2 or 3 questions on X-23 who she isn't writing anymore and 2 or 3 questions about Kyle who is not a mutant. I mean fuck if I wanted to read about humans I wouldn't be reading X-men.

[darknessatnoon]

I am sure the interview questions are emailed.
