From Tuesday Q&A Dan Slott:

Last year at the San Diego con, I'm at the Marvel booth, and [NEW WARRIORS writer] Kevin Grevioux walks up—nicest guy in the world with [a] great voice—and goes [Slott puts on gravely approximation of Grevioux's voice] "Dan, I like what you're doing in INITIATIVE. You have all these great New Warriors characters. You know what? I think they'd work really well in NEW WARRIORS. Can I take your characters and put them in NEW WARRIORS?" And I say, "Ok," because he's a big guy. A nice guy, but a big guy.

And then at night at a Marvel dinner, I'm having my dinner and spilling most of it on [MS. MARVEL writer] Brian Reed. And Bendis comes over to talk to Brian, and he goes, "Oh Dan, by the way, when we do Secret Invasion I have this scene where I'm going to kill the Initiative. You can pick one or two characters who you want to live, but keep that in mind." And then he walked away! So I call up Brevoort, and I'm like [Slott puts on "crying to Brevoort on the phone" voice] "Kevin Grevioux wants to take all my New Warriors, and Bendis wants to kill everyone else. What am I gonna do?!?" Tom was like, "Don't worry about it!"

Sooooooo, interesting huh?

I'm still hoping for a mix of the Counter Froce team and the current NW group. This way, no fan is made to feel left out.

So this is the reason I won't be seeing anymore Caselli-drawn Justice? *woe woe*

Kidding!

I'm hoping it means that we'll have some regular appearances of Counter Force in New Warriors or a semi-merging as has been suggested already.
