MCDUFFIE WELCOMES MILLAR & HITCH TO THE FAMILY

Sunday, August 12th, 2007

Comic Book Resources has the story:

[They] were kind enough to let me see the scripts, many of which were done before I even started, so I kind of knew where [Millar] was going. It’s going to be cool. Oh, yeah, I will be reading it," said McDuffie, who told CBR News that he knew his run on Marvel’s first family would be limited from the outset.

Wizard Likes Avengers Classic #3

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

From Monday Morning Quarterback:

AVENGERS CLASSIC #3
Marvel
Stan Lee, Dwayne McDuffie (W)/Jack Kirby, Michael Avon Oeming (A)
COTTON: "The reprint story in this issue’Äîthe battle between the Avengers and Namor, who has teamed with the Hulk’Äîis obviously a classic and always fun for a read, but the true gem in this book are the backup stories’Äîthis week from Dwayne McDuffie and Michael Avon Oeming. Even if Oeming's gorgeous art wasn't just the right mix of old and new school for you, then the story should still deliver for fans as it covers a one-on-one between a very unconfident and unsure Hank Pym and a very confident and sure Iron Man, who believes no matter how many gods or kings or Hulks they face, man will always win out. But on the last page there are those hints that maybe Tony Stark’Äîeven at the beginning of the Avengers’Äîwasn't as confident as he seemed and where he drew his strength from wasn't a pleasant place."
