Joe Quesada retires

[WebLurker]

Only problem is that Quesada made it impossible to get away from his Spider-Man without practically no longer reading Spider-Man.

On a macro level, the OMD Spider-Man is the only one that's going to be in ASM for now, that's true. However, if you know that you really don't like stories where Quesada is the one writing, why financially support it and aggravate yourself?

All the more reason for them to be in the public domain

Gonna be a long time before that happens.

First, "Stories where Quesada is the one writing" is a weird way to frame this discussion, since Quesada has power and influence, and therefore doesn't have to write anything to get his version of Spider-Man implemented.

Second, who says I'm financially supporting it?

I give him a lot of flack because of OMD but he did revitalize Marvel. He took a lot of chances on different books and it paid off. That said, this does not mean OMD is going away anytime soon or ever. But at this point if I want to read decent stories, I'll reread the early 2000's books I enjoyed.

No. Most of the x-characters including Wolverine were thrashed under his radar. Let's not forget Ultimate Universe with the X-Men as well

The Ultimate Universe was killed off needlessly. There should never had been a crossover between Earth-1610 and Earth-616. UU was badly managed at the midpoint of its run.

Yes the ones who benefitted during Quesada was those under his original imprint Marvel Knights and some avengers. Quesada did good things but when I look at marvel now and trace back much of the damage most of it leads back to him.

Meh, I'm glad they killed it off. Never the same without Bendis. Might as well have called it the Bendisverse.

Dan Slott was interviewed about his departure from Fantastic Four and in the process, revealed just how much Quesada was still calling some shots at the company

The end of the Kree/Skrull war, and Alicia and Ben's two kids, were originally conceived by Quesada, however the plan was for Reed and Sue to adopt them and Slott successfully pitched that Alicia and Ben become their parents.

Gracias! Don't know why I couldn't find this.

Here's the end result of what he meant. Thankfully just a variant cover
