Since a few months have passed, I'm not going to bump the old thread ("New Avengers Annual #2 -- what the #$%^&!?" if anyone wants to see it), but Bendis has now said he's going to follow up on that in post-SI New Avengers:

Again, I would be nervous about putting anything except Last Defenders #3 between NA@ 2 and SI for Strange, even preliminarily...
