"Speaking of new readers, I imagine Richard Rider's very vocal fanbase will be interested in this story and might be picking up "Guardians of the Galaxy" for the first time because of it. Anything you want to say to this group of fans?
It's funny, there are some die-hard and hardcore fans of DnA, god bless 'em, and already they're mad at me for what I've done. I understand loving a book's creative team, but they killed him. I'll take the hit for the stuff I've done. I've done plenty. You still want to yell at me for Hawkeye? I'll take it. I got it. I didn't kill any of the Guardians though!

DnA killed those characters. They wouldn't even be around if it wasn't for us bringing them back. So you can get off my ass a little bit on this one. [Laughs]
There would be no more Richard Rider stories at all if I wasn't writing one. So I don't know how else to put it. This one is not on me. I understand you have an affection for DnA, but you can't pretend they didn't write that part that you're mad about. It's OK to love and be frustrated by the work of creators, I do that to people all the time, but that's their thing. I've got my own stuff. I've got people mad at me that there's no Peter Parker in the Ultimate Universe. They don't know what to do with me. I own that, but I'm not wearing their sins too."
