I noticed you posted the new MoS trailer. Is it safe to say your reservations are less now?

Fingers are crossed so hard.

but every time I turn on the TV  suckerpunch is playing on cable.

I Have bee waiting what seems like eons for a really sassy gay character to be introduced in the comic-verse. I feel that Marvel has enough LQBT(Q) characters but i feel that one more really in-your-face (without being too offensive) could make me happy. can we ever expect to see this?

I have tons of gay friends and, I have to say, none of them are all that sassy,

bitchy, yes :-) but sassy no. 

 that seems to be the type of characterization best left to a gay or lesbian writer to write.  even though I am as close to gay as you can get While still being attracted to girls I don’t think a straight writer should be writing will and grace kind of stuff.

 I’m Jewish and I know that there are a lot of Jews who talk like, let’s say, Jackie Mason but if a non-Jewish writer was writing a character that talked like that I would be pretty annoyed :-)

I know you've been asked this before... But what is your writing process and how do you encourage aspiring comic book writers and artists to go about making a decent story?

I am proud to say that my archive right here is full of hundreds of answers to hundreds of questions about this very subject. Have Fun.

Did you plan any backstory for those characters in this changed reality on Age of Ultron? I ask because I was wondering if the thing about Colonel America being a widower, as shown in Uncanny Avengers 8AU, comes from Remender and/or Duggan, or you.

 that was in my scripts, and they ran with it.  After the entire series is done I will post some scripts from age of Ultron so you can see how maddening the situation was particularly for Brandon Peterson.

 I’m really happy about how much fun people who like to have fun are having with age of Ultron.  we are putting issue 10 to bed tonight

If someone is a deadly martial artist, they get registered as weapons. Other weapons like firearms must be registered and there must be some training in order to legally own and wield them. Is requiring mutants to register as having the power to set a building on fire or blow up your mind any different than a human registering a weapon? Is that really asking too much of mutants? Or do humans not have the right to know if someone next to them can melt their faces off with a thought?

The other side of the argument is…What constitutes a power? I’ve talked about this in some of my books.  for instance, I will never be able to play basketball worth a damn, does someone who can play basketball have a power that I don’t have?

Really like that you're introducing a new & diverse range of characters in UnAv. Will there be, or are there already, any LGBT characters in UnAv?

There already are. And I haven’t made a big deal about it because I live in a world where it’s not a big deal. when it becomes a part of the story it will be part of the story.
