MANIA: Now, having a few years under your belt, how do you feel you've met those goals?
HUDLIN: Between having Panther, Luke Cage and Blade team up in post-Katrina New Orleans, the marriage of the Black Panther and Storm of the X Men, Panther and Storm in the forefront of the Civil War, and now them leading the Fantastic Four - not a bad start.
...
MANIA: What's coming up for the Black Panther and Storm in the series?
HUDLIN: Once they become members of the Fantastic Four, they have real FF-style cosmic adventures. I can't reveal the twist at the end of the second story in the arc, but I promise no one, and I mean no one, will see it coming.
MANIA: Why did you want to have the Black Panther and Storm become a part of the Fantastic Four? What does this add to the mystique of the series?
HUDLIN: First of all, the Black Panther debuted in the Fantastic Four, so it's a return to his roots. And even though they are perfect to run the FF while Reed and Sue are gone, it's not obvious...which makes it a story worth telling.
MANIA: I think some would be curious why the two of them would want to join Marvel's First Family ....
HUDLIN: Besides the political reasons that will make sense in the post-Civil War world, they are friends. Friends who want to help them, and friends who need some help. And Panther and Storm are always there for their friends.
MANIA: How closely are you coordinating things with the writer of the Fantastic Four? How will this affect your continuity for the series?
HUDLIN: Dwayne McDuffie is a friend who has taught me most of what I know about the comics business. It's a joy to work with him. Our first conversation about this took about an hour and a half and so many great ideas just flowed out. The two books with dance together perfectly.

It's not like he was saying it was DEFINITELY gonna happen. He was just giving his take on it. Repeatedly. And putting down other ideas. But it was just an opinion.
, just kidding.
