In a recent interview with CBR, Marvel Editor-In-Chief Axel Alonso spoke on many subjects, including what to expect from characters in late 2011 and 2012. The excerpt of what to expect is below, but for the full interview, click the link.
CBR: We've got a few issues of "Fear Itself" and "Schism" left, so there's still a lot for readers to discover as far as how all these plans will roll out. However, at this stage in the game, who are the characters you think will come out of these events as the breakout ones to watch moving into the end of the year?
AA: I'm bound to forget someone, but for now, I
I'll say keep an eye on:
The Defenders: They're going to be a force in the Marvel U, and you'll see why when you see what Matt and Terry are planning. While the team has a core group, there'll be lots of opportunities for some cool guest-stars that fit more easily into the Defenders roster and mandate than, say, an Avengers story.
Miles Morales -- aka Ultimate Comics Spider-Man: Couldn't be more excited about what Brian [Bendis] and Sara [Pichelli] are doing with this series. Fans are going to fall in love with Miles the same way they did Peter Parker.
Hope: Look for the so-called "Mutant Messiah" -- with her green eyes and red hair -- to be a pivotal character in 2012. The scope of her powers and her place in the universe will be revealed.
Hawkeye: Clint Barton fans, I am one of you. And I will prove it in 2012.
Iron Fist: Another key character in 2012.
Nova: Ditto. Save the questions, folks -- my lips are sealed.
Dracula and the Vampire-verse: Dracula could become our supernatural Doctor Doom. And his nemesis, Raizo – the vampire whose origin was told in "Tomb of Dracula: Throne of Blood" and who'll play a key role in "Fear Itself; Hulk" tie-in -- represents a clear challenge to Dracula's authority -- a vampire who has chosen to walk a very different path.
The Forgiven: Who are they? Find out in "Fear Itself: Hulk vs Dracula."
Moon Knight: Brian [Bendis] and Alex [Maleev] are doing something special with this book.
Ant-Man: Size does matter.
