[Secret Wars] was our introduction to Marvel Comics. I mean, for a whole week I thought Colossus had, like, psychic powers because he was clutching his head like that when Spider-man webbed it up, and I thought, “oh, he’s using his brain power.” -- Al Ewing

A new character! A familial revelation! Invisible badassery! It's almost enough to wish that writer David Pepose was getting more than two issues of fill-in tying in to an event. Then again, we are getting Ryan North next issue.

My rule for Arakko is that it's a lot more complicated than you think. The Arakkii aren't some monolith of maniacs, they're a people -- with all the nuance and variation that implies -- who were at war for thousands of years, which was bad, and eventually lost that war, which was worse. -- Al Ewing

Originally, this was all heading to a darker place, but -- possibly because the world's endured enough darkness recently -- once I was in the thick of it, I ended up tacking towards something brighter and more positive, and that led to the idea of the Guardians as a superhero team in a more official capacity. -- Al Ewing

I've been trying not to lean on the Mission: Impossible thing too much when talking about this series -- I don't want it to come across as a "meets,” like the only thing about it is that it's a mash-up of other things -- but there is going to be that super-spy flavor to it. This will be a team that does missions, and those missions won't always pan out so well, and the stakes are going to be high, both in terms of the big, galactic fate-of-the-world stuff, and the more personal stuff to do with the individual team members -- who lives, who dies, who gets their heart broken. And people are going to live, die and get their heart broken. We're not going easy on anyone here. -- Al Ewing

Frankly, if King in Black wasn’t happening, we’d have to invent something like it, and I’ve enjoyed getting my teeth into an out-and-out bad guy like the God of the Void – every so often, it’s nice to stack your heroes up against that kind of ultimate evil and see how they make out. -- Al Ewing

A lot of what I do involves going right back to the first appearance of a character — not because I think that's the best they've ever been and deviating from it is blasphemy, but because I think there's usually a nugget of primal mojo that you can find there while the idea's fresh and not fully coalesced. With Immortal Hulk, vast swathes of my run are informed by the chaos of the first six issues, and especially by the unforgettable moment of Bruce Banner staring out of the panel waiting for night to fall, cementing it as a horror book. But to get back to Guardians: Star-Lord's first appearance is weird as all get-out, set in some alternate future and 100 percent not in continuity, so you'd have thought that technique wouldn't work this time — but when I looked back at it, it did have one of those little globules of primal magic in it that I'm going to be making a lot of use of over the first year. -- Al Ewing
