Loeb + Ed McGuiness Jeph Loeb: So this issue actually tells the story from two different perspectives. The Mighty Avengers go out and answer a big time monstrous attack while the New Avengers try and have a poker game. Neither of them are going to end pretty. There are a couple of guest-stars who are no strangers to anger who help voice what is happening to our heroes, not only in the story but in the larger universe as well.

Loeb + Finch Jeph Loeb :
Spider-Man, for me, is best when he's being driven by guilt. I mean, his origin came out of guilt - if he'd only stopped that burglar, Uncle Ben would still be alive! So, yes, whatever role Peter had in Civil War, he feels it certainly didn't make the conflict any better. Guilt is not always a logical emotion. You just feel it. And the more you feel it, the greater the tendency is to have things tumble into depression.
But, I want to be very clear here. Just because a story is about depression, doesn't mean it has to be depressing. This, for me, was the most emotional story because, let's face it, death is depressing. And whether or not you can survive it speaks to your strength of character and I'm by no means holding myself up as any kind of beacon of hope. Spidey (along with another character who tracks a lot of Fallen Son) has to try and comes to terms with what has happened and unfortunately, death is something he know quite a lot about.Loeb + Romita Jr Jeph Loeb :
Without giving too much away, there are lots of people in the Marvel Universe (and I'm betting out there in the readership) who are already trying to figure out who should be the next Captain America. Some folks would argue that it was Steve Rogers who was killed, not Cap and that Cap should and must live on. Then there's the opposition who believe that Steve Rogers was Cap. We'll see in Fallen Son #1 that Tony Stark has Cap's shield. What he wants to do with it with surprise some people, anger others, and hopefully fall right into line with what came out of Civil War.
