2026. We live in a timeline cursed enough that Doomsday Clock’s prophecy of a Secret Crisis comes to pass.
More seriously, who do we actually have as an alternative to Aaron? Most of the big names/rising stars have left Marvel or are on the X-books, with half the writing pool has embraced the oh so courageous view of… smugly throwing shade on the non-X characters
Aaron’s not ideal, but I fear we are in for lean years regardless
