Part 1 Of The latest Talk with Ed

Part 2
You can submit questions for Ed, and I will choose 5.

1 question per post and listener, so think about it.

I'm talking to Ed on monday night.

"Hey John why only 5 listener q's?"


Because this is testing out a feature for the show. There will still the usual longer q&a sessions for the guests like Bendis Loeb, Gail, etc, but this will be a portion of my regular show.

You have until 5pm US central time Monday afternoon.

Ed, while I am very excited about Incognito heading to the silver screen, I am terrified regarding the studio that is bringing it to theaters. Aside from two anomalies under Bryan Singer, the current Fox regime does not have the best track record in regards to quality comic adaptations. Do you feel confident that safeguards are in place so that Incognito will be treated with care and not end up being mentioned in the same breath as Wolverine, Elektra, Fantastic Four, X-Men 3, etc?

Thanks for all the great work that you do!

Hey Ed, what's the fate of SHIELD in this new world post SIEGE? Last we read, SHIELD was defunct, and while I haven't kept up (trade waiting), I have not seen any SHIELD heli-carriers, or agents aside from Maria Hill, Sharon Carter, and Victoria Hand.

Hey Ed,

Great seeing ya at the Midtown Comics signing you did with Bendis/Fraction/Gage a few months ago. After the "Trial of Captain America" arc will you be touching upon the ominous vision of the future Steve saw at the end of "Reborn" and the shadowy figure?

Heya Mr Brubaker! How long are you planning on staying on Cap?

Thanks to you and John for doing one of these

[Superior Kiai]

How did you come up with your cast for Secret Avengers?? Did you have full freedom to choose your own team, or were certain members proposed to you?? Is this the full roster or will we be seeing some late comers to the party??

Any chance of getting a new spy story by you and Sean (or anyone), is Secret avengers meant to be that, because I am still madly in love with Sleeper and would love to see more work like it from you. Also thanks for for all the great work, most of all Criminal.

I don't know if youre choosing the top five or the first five so I'll send one anyway...

The the primary story of Steve Roger's death and rebirth done...are you at a point where you feel you can leave Cap as is and begin working on other characters...or do you feel that the Bucky Cap storyline is something you need to finish until Steve Rogers is back in his proper role? Does Editorial have a say in this decision?

Ed,

1) You pepper a lot of your espionage pieces with appropriate-sounding military terminology. Is this the result of your "military brat" upbringing or of some personal "research" into the world of spies and spooks? If the latter, can you tell us about it?

1a) As a follow-up, will this podcast self-destruct in 5 seconds?

But, seriously:

2) Do you still draw, and can you discuss how learning cartooning has helped you in writing comics?

2a) As a follow-up, do you do any layouts, thumbnails or roughs when composing a script, or do you just type?

Sorry, John, but both of those occurred to me, and maybe Ed has already answered one of them in another venue.

Cheers.

I'm glad that you put Eric O'Grady in Secret Avengers. What was the reason for changing his costume to the old Ant-Man suit?
