I really liked this issue, although I thought it was a little out of bounds from the Young Avengers Presents…

Loved last year's interview, thanks for coming on again Jim!
It seems pretty obvious that Secret Invasion was published with new readers in mind; identifying characters every issue with name logos, backup materials in issue #1 telling you what else to read, etc. With that in mind, what was Marvel's goal for the "Embrace Change" TV commercial that aired during the minor league baseball game a couple months ago? I never would have heard about it if I didn't see the Marvel press release because I (and everyone I know) don't watch minor league baseball on TV. Were you hoping to attract new, young readers? Was it done so you could tell your publisher, creditors, and shareholders, "Look! We advertise comics on TV!" Or was it done for some other reason? Thanks.
While I didn't love the animated Watchmen, it was worth watching just to see the last frame. That was one great zoom out (pull back?) shot.
If the continuity is going to end it would make sense to do it somewhat the same way the Marvel series ended, and then re-start it like when Image and DDP got the license.
Is the IDW license confirmed yet? I have never read any of their comics - any advice on whether they are any good?
