On this episode Of the Word Balloon podcast, it's part 3 of the Bendis Tapes. We continue our marathon sessions answering questions posed to the Marvel writer at his jixnworld.com message board.

Some of The Answers Brian gave included these tidbits...

Q-"How can Wolverine work with the unregistered "criminals" New Avengers, but also serve in the X-Men who've been helping the San Francisco Police Department? Shouldn't he be arrested?

Bendis- "Sounds Like there's Hell coming for Wolverine in the next few months.."

Q- "Do you and the other Marvel writers do table reads of scripts, when you meet at the Marvel retreats?"

Bendis- "We all gather around and read Jeph Loeb's Hulk books and scream at each other...Actually Dan Slott and I did compare how we would both approach doing a certain scene, but it's not like cosplay. It's more about theory. You won't see Beta Ray Slott wearing his helmet while he reads ."

Bendis- "There will be lots of Spider-Woman news at the New YorkComic Con...I have very strong ambitions with Spider-Woman and other projects that will be announced. I've dedicated my life towards, another level of things that I would like to attempt in mainstream comics. (after Secret Invasion) it would be very easy to be lazy this year, but I've gone elsewhere with that thought. [sic]"
