English term or phrase: general direction brews
From http://www.comicsbulletin.com/reviews/122278245556028.htm

Now that "Secret Invasion" has come to an end in many of the individual character books, writers can get back into further exploring each character as the next thematic thread line for Marvel's general direction brews.

In the text above, what does "general direction brews" mean?

Thanks

a group of comics meant for an average (general) audience


Explanation:
general direction is the direction (style and content) that most of the comics will be taking, the direction that is in most demand by the readers.

as for "brew"
i found:

"Comics Brew an international festival of comic art that is being held"
http://www.absolutearts.com/artsnews/2004/09/15/32363.html

and

an internet comics digest website called the Cartoon Brew
http://www.cartoonbrew.com/disney/disney-buys-marvel-comics....

so based on this i am thinking that in Marvel's brew, brew means a mixture, so Marvel's brew is a mixture (or group) of the comics that are being published at a particular date.
