[Benjamin Ong]

I miss the AoA. If only Marvel'd visit this universe (backstories, obviously) on a yearly basis...

[Scott Williams]

This was such an ambitious project, and it turned out quite nicely. This ish was actually one of the most moving pieces of literature I'd ever read up until that point.

Like Onslaught: Marvel Universe, it was books like these that made me want to write.

[TurdFerguson]

I'm not so sure that visiting AoA every year would work too well. It would water down the product, and eventually we'd start getting into continuity errors that would drive the fanboys (the people that would be dying for this type of annual event) nutso. It's a great piece of literature, and any attempt to revisit it (especially now, without the original writing staff) would diminish its importance.
