Bendis has had Hank and Jan more or less at each other's throats since he came onto the title to do Disassembled. Austen and McDuffie before him wrote Hank as a douchebag misogynist and Jan as a bitter abuse victim (which wasn't anything at all like the writers before them had characterized them), and he swung the pendulum the other way and made Hank a suffering soul who wanted to make it work and Jan a spiteful shrew (and occasional drunk, which, again, was something that had never happened before to my memory) who was looking for reasons to pick fights. His characterization of those two is a big reason I quit reading the oral history, because I hated it in the comics where Jan was alive and I didn't want more of it shoved on me as canon.
...Sorry, that came off way grouchier than I intended.
