More interesting tidbits. Thank you!

I'd pay good money to see a Dr. Strange road trip mini.


Also of interest ...

Marvel.com: Do you suspect that fans will hate anyone in this group by the time this is over?

Jonathan Hickman: Yes, yes absolutely.

I wonder who this, or these, will be?

LOL, Steve Rogers already thinks he's the president of the United States? What a delusional moron.

It's a good thing everyone hates Beast already, so no problems there.

I wouldn't be surprised if the fans hated everybody though.

Lol I thought the same thing

The way the answer was phrased, I thought Hickman meant Reed and Strange would both skip town.

Can you picture the two of them cruising the backroads, looking at tacky tourist attractions?

Steve must be becoming Ultimates Cap.

Me either.

I think, even in earning hatred, I think Beast will be outclassed here. LOL! Unless, of course, he whines too much -- but I don't see these guys putting up with that either.

I dunno. I have a hard time seeing Reed on a road trip, actually, unless he's taking the kids somewhere. Strange, OTOH, oh yeah.

Very good interview. Gives us more insight into these guys and how Hickman plans to play them off each other. Can't wait to see what kind of alliances and back deals that will be going on. And I think Beast is going to be in a very tough position. Lots of arrogant guys in the room and he's going to have to find a way to make his voice heard.

The only one I can think of is Namor.

[chariset]

The only one I can think of is Namor.

He seems to be setting Iron Man and Reed Richards up for a fall too

[Rheged]

The only one I can think of is Namor.

Did you read Civil War or the Illuminati mini-series? Iron Man and Reed weren't very popular with fans at all -- Stark still suffers from that character smearing. In the Illuminati mini, Namor was the "moral center" of the group... or at least the most clear sighted of the bunch.

I think by the end of Hickman's run, pretty much all of them are going to be hated at one point or another. Though, oddly, I wonder if Beast won't inadvertantly get the honors.

[Rheged]

OMG.

Googling Dr. Strange is the best!

ROAD TRIP!

[Rheged]

The even better Part 2! I've got to go find Part 3.

I've gotten over my feelings towards Reed & Tony regarding CW, but AvX is a little fresher in my mind so that's why I said Namor.

The only new news is in the Fight Club question where Hickman goes through a progression of the team - people find them out, betrayals, people unhappy with them, new characters introduced. Everything else was known. Beast becomes essential so they have to listen to him.
