IGN has a new interview with the writer of the comic book prequel to RotI, check it out here
http://xbox.ign.com/articles/596/596078p1.html
For months now both Marvel and Electronic Arts have tantalized us with talk of a new fighting game where classic Marvel heroes will take on a roster of characters created specifically for EA. Today, at last, the companies officially announced Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects, in development for PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, and the PSP.
Marvel Nemesis will introduce a new team of heroes, developed specifically for EA. To help create the new characters, the company has enlisted comic artist Jae Lee (Spider-Man, Uncanny X-men, X-Factor, Captain America, and Hellshock) and designer Paul Catling, who did concept art and character design for films like Spider-Man 2, AVP: Alien vs. Predator, The Punisher, and Harry Potter.
The game, developed by Nihilistic Software (Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption), will include more than a dozen fighters duking it out in interactive, destructible environments. As you might guess, each character comes to the fight with special abilities based on the hero's background.
Though EA and Marvel have not revealed a release date for the game, a six-issue monthly promo comic run starting in May would lead us to October. So, think this fall.
To get players and comic fans ready for the game, in May EA and Marvel will launch Marvel Nemesis: The Imperfects, a six-issue mini-series. The comic books will introduce new EA characters each month, as well as tell the story of Spider-Man, Wolverine, The Thing, and Elektra taking on evil alien scientist Niles Van Roekel, one of the new EA characters.
Further details on the game are still behind the curtain of careful promotional timing, but you can bet your sweet cheeks we'll be back with more as soon as new details emerge. Stay tuned.

For me, alot of the enjoyment of playing the Marvel vs. Capcom games came from playing characters I know and love. EA would have been better off having the Marvel characters face off against themselves rather than make up a bunch of characters we'll most likely forget.
