Marvel Now! Part 2 Point 1 Again....?

Hey there all,

Something I forgot.  Well two things actually.  First the Defenders, many think will continue on as before, even though it features a lot of important Marvel characters.  What I forgot to mention was Marvel Now Point 1 coming out - the writers are Bendis, Loeb, Fraction, Gillen and Nick Spencer and the characters are Nick Fury Jr ( Nick Fury's new son who is African-American and while it sounds confusing, it is, but the hope is the people who have seen the Avenger's movie won't be too confused) Nova, Cable, Starlord (and hopefully with the Guardians of the Galaxy), an unidentified Ant-Man, and a group shot of Wiccan, Kid Loki and the new Miss America.  Now, I hope Gillen is on a New Young Avengers with group of Wiccan, Loki and Ms. America and Spencer (who I loved on THUNDER Agents for DC) will be on Nick Fury Jr. Fraction, it would make sense, would be on Ant-Man since he's writing a newly alive Scott Lang in the Defenders.  However, that leaves Loeb on Nova (Rich Rider will probably be dead for a while more, because money is on the new Nova from Ultimate Spider-Man, Sam Alexander) and probably Cable and Bendis on Starlord. (Unless Spencer or Fraction is on Starlord, leaving Bendis to be on Ant-Man and/or Nick Fury Jr. We'll see when we see I guess.)  Now, the good news is that in Marvel's last point one, we had Brubaker write the story that couched everything, Bendis write a tease for Age of Ultron, Fraction write a Defenders intro, Loeb write a Nova story that led into A vs. X, and Jeff Parker wrote a great story about two super powered teenage twins that went nowhere.  Basically, what I am saying is that just because the are listed of the writers on the Point 1, I hold out hope that somehow Bendis or Loeb won't be on Guardians of the Galaxy.
