Thanks John for the great podcast, keep them coming. Jeff thank you for resurrecting the Exiles.

1) Is the Blink in the 1st issue the same Blink that had been leading the previous incarnation?

2) Morph was in the first issue. Any chance will see some other old school Exiles?

3) I'm loving the new team show especially Beast and Panther. In the sketches in the back of issue #1 Panther is called the "heir" to the throne. Does that mean he is T'Challa's son?

Heres a question I alway wanted to know. How did agents of atlas came about. did you go to marvel or what

[Mr. Dave]

With all the books you write how do you keep track of your ideas? Do you keep note pads handy? Can you work on multiple books at the same time or do you have to work on them weeks apart?

[The Mandarin]

Do you read/watch a lot of 30's stuff? I see a lot of old pulp influence in your stuff.

Is Hawkeye/Ronin going to die again? (Couldn't help but notice that Temugin is about to punch him in the preview pic)

hey john and jeff,

Any chance of Lyra aka the new Savage She-Hulk appearing in a future project of yours once the current mini by the talented Fred Van Lente concludes?

Mr. Parker,

Ever since the first Agents of Atlas series you wrote back in 2006, Marvel has taken steps towards establishing legacies for some of its characters stretching back for decades (Ghost Rider and Iron Fist come to mind). In addition, there was The Twelve as well as the upcoming Marvels Project. In light of this, I'm wondering if you have any plans to incorporate flashbacks using these "older" characters (such as Orson Randall) in Agents of Atlas, or to use some of The Twelve in the present day and finally if the Agents will make appear in Marvels Project?

I really appreciate all your work so far. Kudos especially for Exiles: Having an alternate universe Black Panther kicking around is a great idea!

[Zac Goyette]

Hey John and Jeff-
1)Why did you leave the X-Men First Class series? I saw the new Uncanny First Class solicited without you attached, and was just wondering why you were not a part of it. I loved your work on it.
2)How did you break into the industry?

Hi guys, hope I'm not too late for this.

I'm really enjoying AoA and how they're mixing it up with the other Marvel dudes. I'nm just wondering, how many issues do you have AoA mapped out? And how are things going saleswise? I really hope AoA is getting a healthy amount of readers. I feel as though it has its own voice and lately seems as though it is those books that are either getting cancelled or are in danger or getting cancelled. I really hope AoA sticks around for a long time and I hope you do too.

Thanks for your time John and Jeff!

EDIT: Ah damn I think I'm late, haven't checked my iTunes yet but I think I see it on your twitter. Oh well, maybe next time
