All of his best stuff has been long form, slow burn stuff. Look at Flash or JSA. What made those books good was solid plots and characterization. His high concept stuff (Blackest Night) is much less interesting to me. I think he may be a good editor on a book or family of books, but I'm not sure if I'd want him calling the creative shots for a whole universe.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14446748180947198729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33311991.post-55786992132376196682011-01-06T22:12:21.997-05:002011-01-06T22:12:21.997-05:00Joe Q. did more good then bad.

While I'm not a huge fan of everything Marvel, I care more about what is happening in the MU now then I did 10 years ago. <br /><br />Now if Joe Q.'s role of CCO is making him so busy he can no longer be involved in the day to day operation of being an EIC, is there any question Johns' writing has to be suffering. Of course being a CCO is a nebulous job at best since Waid was unimpressed being one at BOOM and quit.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00352163584546054887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33311991.post-12763200210875300172011-01-06T13:55:53.499-05:002011-01-06T13:55:53.499-05:00I agree with most everything you said.

We'd have been worse off without him.Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03026335818721649588noreply@blogger.com
