Questions You Would Like To Ask Mr Hickman About New Avengers Going Forward

[marvell2100]

What questions would you like to ask Mr Hickman going forward now that we've seen the first issues of New Avengers?

I would ask if Black Swan is going to be a potential member and how are the alliances going to play out in NA? I'm sure that there are going to be smaller cliques that are planning things.

Also what will be the Avengers reaction to the new Illuminati as well as other heroes like the X-Men? Some may not like the idea at all.

Last, I'd like to know if all of the events of NA will be connected to each other? Is there an overlying threat and are these events some of the side effects for lack of a better word?

Have you ever paid a visit to his Formspring?

He's good at dodging spoilerrific questions, but he's otherwise a very good sport. Just be prepared for some trolling.

I doubt if he's going to come and answer any of these but I'm just curious as to what questions some people have after seeing the opening salvo. I'd rather avoid the Formspring page for now.

Why? I've been using his Formspring to ask him stuff going back to when he was on the Fantastic Four. I met him in person once too in Chicago's C2E2. If you're polite, he will answer in kind. But if you bombard him with BP questions constantly well, I don't know. Mix it up a little. He did have that Q & A thread here before the launch to so I think he's really gone the extra mile with fan's questions.

I had/have no intention of bombarding him with BP questions. Why would that be assumed? I've yet to ask him anything specifically about BP in my previous questions.

You can ask questions without registering an account. You just won't get notifications when he's answered your question.

The main question I have outside of who might be joining would be if when Reed Richards' status in F4/FF will hit the title and he is removed from the cast or tells T'Challa about his dying. Which is a bit of a spoiler I guess so...

My question has to do with the idea of 18 Avengers. For the past few years between Main Avengers, New and Secret we've had well over that amount of active members. Why all of a sudden the focus in numbers? During all of these events, like during AVX and Fear Itself you saw the separate teams working together and with kind of no lines dividing them. So why all of a sudden the focus on numbers? I know you wanted to showcase new characters as well as unknown and long time in waiting. But what's going to happen to all of the other Avengers? I know some are popping up in different books, like T-Bolts, Defenders, etc but are they technically still Avengers?

According to F4 only four seconds is supposed to have passed in our time while Reed and Fam are in this other dimension. So even if they have an extended journey, it still will take some time before it occurs in our time. I'm curious as to why Reed wears the Fantastic Four costume in their title and the Future Foundation costume in New Avengers. Is their a necessary reason for that distinction?

Not speaking on Mr Hickman's behalf but maybe the Avengers became too unwieldly with that high number and he probably wants to get it down to a level he can manage to his liking.

Jon has multiple places to ask him questions:

Hickman's Formspring

Hickman's Twitter

Hickman's website

Jon also did a pretty extensive Q & A here on the boards too so try all of those options. Asking them here probably won't get you any answers though as the Q & A was kind of a one time deal.
