When asked why is he still writing Avengers in what Marvel billed as the Heroic Age, when he has spent about six (6) years working on the title.
"Before I decided to stay with the Avengers, I asked myself, 'Am I done?' And the answer was, 'No. I'm not.' So going into the Heroic Age, I decided to write these books as if I were taking over for the Eisner Award winning Brian Michael Bendis and see what new things I can add to what's already been put out there. And yes, I talk about myself that way. When I'm with my wife eating dinner, it's like, 'Please pass the rice to the Eisner Award winning Brian Michael Bendis. Thank you,'" Bendis joked. "Some people reading this might be thinking, 'Why don't you let someone else write it?' But the answer is, 'No. I don't want to.' The books are still selling and it's so much fun.
Now the interesting part, not really new News but just a confirmation of what we already know, but it is still exciting to hear from someone deep within the project.
Plus, when I'm not doing this, I'm out in LA helping with the Marvel movies, which are all leading to the Avengers movie. So it's a grand time for this franchise and I feel like I have a lot of cool things to do...
We really just have to appreciate Marvel, on how they know respect us as fans by putting in people who know loves the project, and will make "our" movies the best that it could be.
-ACCESS out. Godspeed and MABUHAY!
