ein sehr schönes und informatives Interview mit Marvels Super-Editor über die Auswirkungen auf das und den Status Quo des Marvel-Universums ein Jahr nach dem CIVIL WAR!

Zitat: Brevoort über IRON MAN

I think he thought, “Well, I’ve run a multi-national corporation before—how much harder can it be?” Turns out it’s a great deal harder. As Dum Dum Dugan pointed out to him in an early issue of the Director of SHIELD book, if Tony makes a miscalculation in the boardroom, he loses money. If he miscalculates in SHIELD, he loses lives. So that’s a pretty dramatic difference right there.

Zitat: Brevoort über den Umgang mit nichtregistrierten Helden

SHIELD was brought in during Civil War to help administer the Registration Act until such a time as the U.S. could man their own forces—SHIELD is an international organization, after all. With the conclusion of Civil War, the responsibility for tracking down unregistered superhumans active within the U.S. fell to the Thunderbolts, who continue to do that job. (The delays that series has experienced may be one of the reasons why it seems like unregistered guys aren’t being pursued as relentlessly.)

That all said, the goal with Registration was never to lock up all of Tony’s friends who disagreed with him—it was to get the infrastructure of the Registration Plan and the Fifity State Initiative into place so that the nation could be policed along law-enforcement lines. That’s all been achieved, so on occasion we’ve seen one character or another bend the rules a bit, especially when it comes to heroes they know are on the up-and-up. By that same token, Spider-Man was chased all around Manhattan by Cape-Killers, the Blue Shield and cops in Amazing just a couple weeks ago, so there’s still a pressure there.

Zitat: Brevoort über das Negative-Zone Gefängnis 42

It’s still there, and it’s still active—it’s the hub through which the assorted Initiative Negative Zone gateways connect. And only the biggest and the baddest villains would merit incarceration there. We haven’t seen inside the place for a number of months now, so a precise list of who’s incarcerated there right this second is something I can’t give you. However, we will be seeing the place again during Secret Invasion, and that should give you a better idea for what’s transpiring there these days.

Zitat: Brevoort über die 50-State-Heldentruppen

I keep a running list of everything we’ve established anywhere, so I can tell you that right this second, we’ve established the circumstances for 20 States. Doesn’t mean there isn’t activity in the other 30—simply means that we haven’t seen or mentioned that activity anywhere. I can tell you, for example, that Skyhawk is the only hero we know who’s actively patrolling Washington State, that the Action Pack cover Kentucky and Force Works is in Utah, that the Georgia team isn’t ready to get up-and-running just yet, and that Alaska is about to receive its first dedicated hero. Most of these new teams are still relatively small. In fact, we’ll be seeing one or two more in Avengers: The Initiative as it wraps up its first year in #12.

Zitat: Brevoort über Spider-Mans Geheimidentität

As we get deeper into Amazing Spider-Man, we’ll begin filling in the gap of missing time between where One More Day leaves off and Brand New Day picks up, and understanding more about what happened to cause this blanket amnesia, from the point of view of the characters within the universe, including Peter himself. It’s not a tale you’re likely to see the whole of until 2009, but there’ll be a number of little clues along the way. But in a macro sense, this is no different than the time that Tony Stark made everybody in the world forget that he was Iron Man, Doctor Strange made everybody in the world think that he was Stephen Sanders, the Space Phantom made everybody forget that Steve Rogers was Captain America, or that the Sentry was erased from everybody’s memory for years. It’s not the first time that something like this has happened.
