In this week's New Joe Fridays, JoeQ revealed to the world Dan's big project:
NRAMA: Wrapping up for this week Joe, we're starting to see glimpses of what the Marvel Universe is going to look like following Civil War. One thing that's still hanging out there - Dan Slott's book. Can you finally say what it is going to be and what it's about?
JQ: I'm not going to go into detail, but it's called New Avengers: The Initiative.
Wait, hold on…
What's that… that sound?
Is it… is it… yes it is!
I think I just heard the slightest bit of breaking across the internet!
NRAMA: We've seen an "Initiative" in Civil War, which was part of the Pro-Reg side's plan to have teams of super heroes in each state. Is that what we're talking about here, or has the term been appropriated by others for their own use?
JQ: Well, that is kind of the question isn't it? To reveal that would give away a very interesting plot point of Civil War, so be happy you got that much out of me [laughs].
NRAMA: Well then, going back to what you said, this is one of those scripts that is already generating quite a lot of buzz in the Marvel offices, and, as you've said, was one of the only books to make the cut at the Marvel Editorial summit. What is it about this book that just has everyone so jazzed?
JQ: Dan Slott's ideas. I've now sat in a few creative meetings with Dan and he is really coming of age here. I will say this and I kid you not, when it comes to creative spit balling, he is right up there with Bendis, JMS, Millar, Loeb and Brubaker. Dan Slott is the real deal, he's impressed us to no end, we just have to figure out a way to get him to write faster! He is the biggest superstar in comics that no one knows about.
NRAMA: How many issues, and when will it launch?
JQ: Currently it's planned as a six issue series. Of course, with enough fan support, you never know what may happen afterwards.
Any details you can share, Dan?
edit- and yes, I just realized I have another thread with almost the exact same title from before...
