The editorial turnover wasn't due to Fox conspiracies, it was just they lost the very good Wacker on the Spider-Office to Animation, so they had to move the very good Lowe off X-Books to the Spider-Office, and as soon as they installed Marts to lead the X-Line, he leaves the next year for Aftershock. They needed a guy. While I think Panic isn't good at big interconnected lines of books or stories, he at least can get them made.
