Quesada’s responses might be worth reading, if for no other reason than to see how badly he gets storylines and plot devices tangled up and confused. In one response, he lumps together the Scarlet Witch, Mephisto, and Dr. Strange as magic users–basically all the same–and refers to Wanda’s “chaos magic,” which wasn’t supposed to exist, per “Avengers Disassembled.” It’s easy to see why Quesada and Bendis get along so well. If Quesada has read the stories he refers to, he doesn’t remember them very well.

It’s important that the creator’s names are on their comics. That way we can run then out of the business if they really suck.

I thought Hulking out on LSD was the best.

If Peter were living out in LA - you can file divorce papers for as low as $200.00 out here. Now that’s a devil of a price.

ha, LOL! That Hulk list is hysterical!

I wonder if the Spider-Man thing is gonna be one of those things that Joe will never admit to making the wrong choice. It’s very hard to admit you’re wrong sometimes in your life, sometimes people hold their incorrect beliefs for their whole life, letting it eat them from the inside out. I think just an admission would be the correct action.

Something just wandered into my brain.

What would comics be like if the creators were no longer acknowledged.
In other words, no credits printed in the comic, no “team” PR, all anonymous.
Well, anonymous as art and story could be. We would still know their visual and verbal styles, of course.

Just the comic. People like it for its merit and buy it.
Or would that just be the final nail, and seal the fate of Direct Market.

Made me kinda wonder.

Into the breach I step…
Seriously. I think you-know-what, for its storyline chaos and sheer WTF-ness, outdoes the Clone Saga. Heck, it caused more brain conniptions in my head than some of those “Superman is a jerk” stories in old Lois Lane comics. I think that post-Crisis Justice League stories caused less brain conniptions than you-know-what.

Be that as it may, I tried the first issue of “Brand New Day”’s Amazing Spider-Man and it was nice but it sure left a weird aftertaste. And some leftover brain conniptions…
