Comic Book Talk

So the conversation with Quesada went really well. I'll post the full interview once I edit it. I had to get the OMD question in and he took it in stride. I asked him if he were surprised it still remains as contentious as it is today. The gist...

• Peter and MJ were never meant to stay married. The problem was none of the EICs before him knew or were willing to take the hit for splitting them up.
• Keeping the married was stunting the character.
• Divorce was not a viable option.
• Killing MJ was never an option.
• OMD was the only was to correct a terrible mistake in allowing the marriage to last as long as it did.

He almost convinced me...


That's a lie. One More Day is still the worst comic event in comic book history.

He did tell a story of Tom DeFalco (from the Clone Saga) coming and shaking his hand and telling him thank you for taking the albatross of Clone Saga off his back with the public's hatred of it.

Recently, he met Zeb Wells and thank him for doing the same with his current run on Amazing Spider-Man.

Overall, a very good conversation.
