Formspring Q&A

• Will we see the return of Machine Teen as a guest star in young allies? (by PaulSebert)

  No plans, though that would be cool. Underrated little comic, that.

• The solicit for Young Allies #5 says "This is it!" and "final battle." It it the last issue?

  Far from it! We're going strong into 2011 with new and old adversaries, guest-stars, and a Firestar variant cover by none other than Art Adams for #6!

• Any chance we'll be seeing the Young Allies 'family' extend? Young Allies & Nomad in Cap + additional one-shots/short stories. I think after Grim Hunt more 'Arana' in Spider-Man wouldn't be a bad fit for that title. (by mattsmith1)

  Yes, you'll be seeing the various Young Allies outside of their own title, but where, when and how much really largely depends on whether other writers want to use the characters.

• Are there any characters (I'm thinking superheroes, but hey, it's your Formspring) that you really like, but aren't interested in writing?

  I really like what folks down the years have done with Captain America, and I enjoy employing both Steve and Bucky versions from time to time (stay tuned for a Steve-heavy Nomad backup starting in CAP #608), but I couldn't see myself writing Captain America stories. Daredevil is another I'd rather read about than write despite liking him. But if I one day found I had something to say about either character, I would certainly think about it.

• Ouch. YOUNG ALLIES debuted at #97 on the June sales chart. People aren't willing to give a good book a chance to get some legs anymore, are they?

  Those charts indicate orders from stores, not sales to readers. YOUNG ALLIES #1 has a 2nd printing, so clearly its sales potential was underestimated.
