[QUOTE=Revolutionary_Jack;4999262]The Other was an editorial mandate and not from JMS. They wanted to pad out a crossover and asked him to bring back Morlun.
Sins' Past though, yeah that's on him. And he has admitted as much.
In any case, it's not beyond the realm of possibility for a writer to be capable of doing great work and weak work in the same run. And ultimately ongoings are judged on the strength of the best work, especially considering the length of time he stayed on Spider-Man.[/QUOTE
I really disagree with that opinion. Why? It is essentially taking 10 years of Dan Slott and judging them on Spider-Island and Renew Your Vows, and pretending Brand New Day, Silk, Jackpot, and a poorly written Peter, MJ and Felicia did not exist. Every writer ( like anyone else) has to be judged on not only their pluses but their minuses. That is what I did with Conway on my post yesterday.
