Hulkling a shapeshifting mutant and his boyfriend Asgardian later known as Wiccan. These replacements were Patriot, the grandson of the original Captain America before Steve Rogers. If the Avengers ever disbanded, died or were somehow no more Vision had a list of replacements. Richards used the armor Kang gave him and tapped into Visionâ€™s mind and found a hidden protocol. So that’s it Bloggageddons… Allan did a great job not only with this series, but also with creating the Young Avengers concept, one of the best additions to the Marvel Universe in recent memory.He thought if he could find the Avengers of the past they could help prevent him from becoming Kang. The marriage proposal at the end of Crusade #9 turned out to be one of my favorite moments in the series. And I’m still astonished - and grateful - that we were able to present the Billy/Teddy relationship with so much candor and freedom.

I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to create and develop the Young Avengers with Jim and Tom.

And our editor, Tom Brevoort has been an extraordinary source of insight and support. I’m very invested in these characters and would like nothing more than to continue telling their stories.Ĥ) You’re a very busy and successful Hollywood writer, do you have any plans for more comics in the future? Is there a dream project you’ve yet to work on that you’d like to?ĪH: I have no concrete comics plans as yet, but I love the Marvel Universe and am eager to come up with a story worthy of its characters.Ĭheck out the last issue for Allan’s favorite moment!ĥ) Is there a moment from your time as a comic book writer you enjoyed particularly? Maybe a moment you wrote or an encounter?ĪH: Working with Jim Cheung has been one of the chief pleasure of my creative life.

I remain extremely grateful to them for the generosity and patience.ģ) It seems like you’ve left the Young Avengers at a place where someone else can pick them up… will you ever come back to this group?ĪH: I’d love to come back if Marvel will have me.

I pitched the Crusade story at a Marvel retreat a few years ago, and the editors and my fellow creators at Marvel were kind enough to start building what would become AvX where Crusade left off. AH: I was never asked to make any changes to Crusade to accommodate AvX.
