The series is Marvel Team-Up simply because it's based on the classic 70s/80s Marvel title of that name. Only something like 6-8 issues out of 150 of that series didn't have Spider-Man in, so my version is just following that tradition. And, even though the prose style is first-person narrative in Spidey's voice I'm hoping his co-stars will prove to be the real stars of the series rather than him as I settle into the writing of it. Cool, I was just curious about the name because there was also a Spider-Man Team-Up title published and the more recent version of Marvel Team-Up was more of a general team-up book. With regard to exclusivity, I'm afraid you're stuck with me for the forseeable future. The deal I made with the Eds is that I'd write the title up until the time I decided to step down, either because of time commitments or because I'd run out of steam. At that point I guess the title would be treated the same as any other; if another writer (or writers) wanted to take over then they'd get the nod, otherwise it would be classed as an Open or Completed series. But, yeah, for now it's just me. Well I suppose I can live with you on the title ;D

Another thing I'm trying to do is to not be too biased towards any one hero team - so rotating between an Avengers character, then an X character, then a Knights character, then an FF character, etc. With issues # 3 & 4 as X-stories, it'll probably be issue # 8 or 10 for her, sometime next spring or early summer. Which actually isn't very soon at all, thinking about it. Sorry. Hopefully you won't have lost interest by then... No sweat, I'll be checking things out. I've got the first MTU up on my screen among other windows so I'm sure I'll read that before the end of the day. You beat me to it, but I was gonna say that you probably weren't gonna go from Magik/Nightcrawler to Storm or even from them to someone else to Storm, considering the X-ties. That balance is good...and it's even better that you recognize it.
