>>11025517>Considering what he did at MarvelBiggest revival of Marvel since the 60s, both commercially and critically? He set up so many amazing creators into Marvel in the late 90s and 00s. Yeah, the event crossovers became too common, but they were hugely successful and some were still well liked. The retrospective hate just comes from the later ones being completely unnecessary and almost all bad, but those weren't under his watch.
Nevermind it was under Quesada and the movie creative committee that the MArvel movies were successful and not complete shit.
>>11025628Don't forget that Quesada shit talking DC (when Marvel relations with DC were actually respectful) and their creators while he was EiC cemented that blackballing.
Also, would Azrael even be that popular if not for the design? Comics are a visual medium and design is probably the biggest part of it.
