From Bendis's AMA last night:
https://www.reddit.com/r/DCcomics/co...omics/egtxwk7/
I actually more directly asked about his opinion of Miles and Riri's new books, which he didn't reply to (he didn't answer any Marvel questions, except for one about the Spider-Verse film). Well this answers what he thinks of Ahmed's work at least. He approves. Thompson's work on Jessica Jones being liked wasn't a surprise as he actually chose her as his successor on that title, but he didn't choose his replacement on Miles.Hey BMB, love your work—how far do you plan to take Naomi going forward? Are you trying to make her more or less contained in her own stories or will we be seeing her showing up more often years down the line, either under you or other writers?
BENDIS: To answer your question about NAOMI ... as you can see from the just-released cover to issue 6, she is coming to be part of the DC Universe with a fresh perspective. I'm very excited to see what other writers do with her. I love what the writers are doing with Miles and Jessica, for example, I love sharing characters and seeing them move on past us.

Miles sure is teaming up with various ladies of the Marvel U (Thought he got along fine with RiRI but eh different writer)
And finally a new villain!
Yeah, they haven't been butting heads in Champions. Most of Riri's antagonism seems to be towards Viv, who's been giving her unwanted kisses.

So is Starling going to try and upstage Bombshell? Or is she going to be Miles' Black Cat equivalent ?
Is Bombshell even still in his solo supporting cast? Ahmed didn't use her so far.

TBH, the only real extended interaction the two have had was during the Weird World arc so there really isn't an established dynamic yet.
I think with Shuri's comic, I get the feeling that Miles is only on the variant cover since the solicit doesn't mention him appearing in the issue itself.
Like that it looks like we're getting a new villain/anti-hero in Miles' book.
Today's issue was a fairly solid ending to the arc. We got a new villain who's got mind control powers and the ending definitely drops hints that Barbara knows Miles is Spider-Man, but isn't pressuring him to tell her.

A Young/youngish black female with a possible connection to Vulture. Where have I seen that before?
