YES!! Congrats to Axel Alonso, whoever he is, and I hope he does a good job! Quesada's saved the company, now let's see if Axel can save the art.  |

Yeah. My personal oppinon is that they should have done this a while ago. Quesada knows how to make a publcity smash-he's just not that great of a writer and knows how to piss off fans (his art is meh-sometimes it's nice and sometimes it just somehow seems off to me). Anyways, keep him in charge of the non-comic media: directors make the movies, designer geeks make the video games, he just talks them the hell up...and he's good at that.

I'll never forgive him for replacing TSSM.

Ok, as much as I hate the guy, TSSM's fate wasn't his fault. From what I gathered at Ask Greg it was a giant game of "someone else is in charge of renewel, go talk to them." Disney XD and their stupidity (last episode=no sound=no ratings=not reaired with a public apologoy grrr)also played a MAJOR role.
If anything we shoould blame him for not approving a TSSM comic.

I have mixed feeling on Quesada. On the one hand, he really helped get the Ultimate line started and off the ground, and he did a lot to repair Marvel from the shitpile it was in the 90s. at the same time he didn't do anything to help TSSM continue, and he absolutely ruined Spider-Man in the 616 lines. so mixed bag on him. he's still in charge and has a lot of power, he's just no longer editor in chief.

Hence why I included the "sort of" in the thread title...
My understanding is that he has no creative control over the comics now though, which as I said above actually works. The guy's bussiness savvy and knows how to drum up publicity(although apparently not how to not piss off fans) he just wouldn't know a good story if it hit him square on the head.

Or rather, he wouldn't know a BAD story, and thus would run it anyway.

Hmm, if he's no longer editor in chief, does that mean there's now the possibility that the bargain with Mephisto could be reversed and the marriage to MJ restored? (The latter, at the very least. And give 'em their memories of when they were married back.)
cradleman, Marvel wasn't a total mess in the 90s. They did a few really good storylines, like The Age of Apocalypse and the Onslaught saga.

I doubt it - he's still the creative head or something like that, and he still has all the power. But this is the first step!
