Allan Heinberg is back, talking about about Avengers: The Children's Crusade. The 9 part bi-monthly series begins this week, and reunites the Young Avengers creative team of Heinberg and artist Jim Cheung. The story is a self-contained event which crosses into the Avengers and X-men worlds, as Young Avenger Wiccan searches for the woman he believes is his mother: Wanda Maximoff: the Scarlet Witch. The longtime Avenger’s mind seemed to shatter as she killed Avenger teammates and Mutants in the mid 2000 events Avengers: Disassembled and House Of M. Allan talks about writing a story that will stand the test of time, while trying not to conflict with the current month to month continuity. We also discuss his 4 years of work on the popular TV series Grey’s Anatomy, and the similarities and differences of the TV writers room, compared to the Marvel creative summits.
Also, listen to a short talk with web comic creator Patrick Scullins who discusses his two connected features Supersiblings, and his family web strip Meet The Clarks

I’m much too excited for this comic (Children’s Crusade).
John, I don’t know if I have ever said this to you (I’ve been listening to wordballoon for so long..) but I love your interviews. They sound so casual, but I think that’s a tribute to how much your prepare and the kind of forum you provide for the creators to not only inform, but to be themselves. Great work. You are loved.
