Interview: Sam Humphries Interview about New Avengers #1 (June 11):

Let’s start with the surprising MCU connection, titled New Avengers it was originally solicited as Thunderbolts, does this mean you were in on the MCU connection from the start?
This team lineup—Winter Soldier, Black Widow, Carnage, Hulk, Namor, Clea, and Wolverine—reads like a powder keg. What’s the dynamic like between these “loners,” and how do you keep them from exploding on each other before they can even face a threat?
Can you walk us through the creation of the Killuminati? What makes these Illuminati clones more dangerous—or more unhinged—than the originals?
You've worked with teams and antiheroes before. What unique storytelling opportunities does this specific mix of personalities and power sets offer that you haven't tackled before?
You mentioned in the announcement there are many surprises ahead—can you tease one upcoming twist, without giving the game away?
Fans are always down for romance, how hot and heavy are we getting with this new team?
Ton Lima’s art brings serious energy to the series. What was it like collaborating with him, and how do his visuals shape the tone of New Avengers?

Character & Fan Engagement

Which team member surprised you the most once you started writing them in this group dynamic?
Did any of them take on a larger role than you expected?
Fun/Silly Question
Let’s say the New Avengers are forced to compete in a bake-off against the Killuminati. Who burns their cookies, who makes a mean soufflé, and who tries to assassinate the judges?
