Alonso's bad ideas were mostly towards the back end of his tenure.
[QUOTE=PeterParked;4713356]Sure. It’s tenure only gave us Fraction/Aja Hawkeye, Waid/Rodriguez/Samnee Daredevil, Remender/Acuna/Noto Uncanny X-Force, Hickman FF and Avengers, Gillen/Mc Kelvin Young Avengers, Wilson Ms. Marvel, Aaron/Ribic/Dautermann Thor, Duggan Deadpool, Spencer/ Lieber Superior Foes, North Squirrel Girl etc.[/QUOTE]
Stephen Wacker deserves more credit for Fraction Hawkeye, Waid Daredevil, Superior Foes, Ms Marvel. Tom Brevoort (and Bendis) for Hickman on FF and Avengers. Gillen/McKelvie Young Avengers was Joe Quesada's idea, I think.

[QUOTE=Dan Slott;4714162]I hope nothing in that interview came off as me NOT liking the X-Men side of the Marvel U.
I religiously followed all of the Claremont/Cockrum/Byrne era all the way up through to the Chris Claremont/Jim Lee era (and I've read all of the Lee/Kirby classic era, of course).
But after a while I dropped out of the X-Verse after Claremont left. I popped back in for whenever Alan Davis was back. And I was back for the Joss Whedon era X-books and the Grant Morrison era books.
And I'm all-in for this new Hickman era.
But there are too many gaps in my knowledge of X-Men lore. And X-Men continuity is important for X-fans, a think I'd be doing a disservice to the readership if I just jumped in and ran roughshod with it or worse-- faked it. And with everything else I'm doing and working on, I don't know if I'd have the proper time to really go in there and fill all the gaps of everything I hadn't read. That responsibility to the lore-- and my gut feeling that I wouldn't be able to do it justice-- is probably the biggest reason I turned down the offer to write the flagship title and steer the overall course of the X-Verse.[/QUOTE]
Thank you for a true answer. Really respect it.
[QUOTE=Digifiend;4713127]Well, apparently Iron Man was what he really wanted anyway - he ended up on that and Fantastic Four. No good having writers who aren't interested in the characters they're in charge of. If his reaction to X-Men is "meh", then it's right that they didn't end up giving him the book.[/QUOTE]
If his reaction was "meh," he obviously didn't want the X-books and had no intention of accepting that gig, if offered.
Slott never struck me as a hardcore X-Men guy. Not surprised he wasn't interested.
who is Dan slott?

it would get rid of the whole x-men twitter LOL glorious
I'm not a fan of Slott writing flagship titles like Spider-man or FF.
But I love his self contained work with She-hulk and Silver Surfer.
So if he accepted the invitation, I'd rather see him writing Bill the Lobster and not a X-men Team.
I like Dan Slott in some stories, but he is too enamoured with old comics for me to want him on X-Men.
All his stories would revolve either around Lee's era Cyclops team or Claremont's era Storm team. I mean, even more than with other X-writers.
[QUOTE=butterflykyss;4714602]who is Dan slott?[/QUOTE]
C'moooon, he's one of the top ten writers in the industry today. Maybe one of the top four. He made an interesting comic about Powdered toast man for God's sake.
[QUOTE=butterflykyss;4714602]who is Dan slott?[/QUOTE]
That depends on who you ask.
His Thing series from 15 years ago or so, the Avengers Initiative series after Civil War, Spider-Man, Silver Surfer, Mighty Avengers, the list goes on. Some of the best superhero stories of the past two decades.
[QUOTE=Triniking1234;4714486]nah, man.

Sacrilege. Claremont is the One Above All, when it concerns the X-Men.
Sounds like a lot of people have totally swallowed the ‘received wisdom’ that somehow Axel was a bad editor, or that he was sacked.
