* Siege will result in "the biggest change in over a decade" for the Avengers and their team line-up. Two things that won't change, however, are the team's writer and its artist, Stuart Immonen, both of whom are with New Avengers for the long haul.
But Bendis wasn't all answers--he punted on questions regarding the current and future status of Carnage, the Scarlet Witch, and Molecule Man, which unexpected post-Siege Avengers characters he'd be writing, and whether he'd be writing Marvelman anytime soon.
* Plans for Namor and the Atlanteans are in place for next year.
* You knew it would have to happen eventually: There will be "a proper showdown" between Spider-Man and Norman Osborn.
* Look for an announcement about the post-Siege fate of Dark Avengers "very very soon".
* The secrets of how the Sentry survived the events of Dark Avengers #9 and what he did after being sent to outer space by Cyclops in the Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men crossover will be revealed in January's Dark Avengers #13.
* Not sure how this ends well for Dark Wolverine, but there's a Daken/Thor showdown on the way in Siege.
