Joe Quesada out as Editor in Chief.

I think OMIT was intended to be the last of those things anyway. If anything, now that Slott's writing, he'll just slip in little things to explain whatever else needs explaining in that continuity-savvy Slottish way we all know and appreciate to varying degrees.
 
I'd imagine Daredevil has an OMD in his future. Hopefully, better executed, but I'd imagine they want to put that particular genie back in the bottle.

I would love to see DD repurposed along the lines of a Law and Order, a "police" procedural while he's catching criminals, intermixed with courtroom drama. (I know that it sounds like this has been done before, but I always felt that in the past Matt Murdock's courtroom scenes were very vague and stereotypical. I love courtroom dramas, and would love to see more of that from Matt.) Bring back Gerry Conway (he who offed Gwen Stacy and was a head writer of L&O) and you've got gold! But none of that works while his id is known.
 
I think courtroom dramas just don't translate well to comics. Or at least that's what creators think. I've always thought it would be nice to see more courtroom stuff with She-Hulk too, but Slott's the closest we got to making that a central focus, and even then the actual courtroom bits were rare. It was more Ally McBeal than Boston Legal, with a heavier emphasis on the lawyers' interpersonal politics (and superheroics, in She-Hulk's case).
 
Oh, I think any story can be told (I doubt many people thought Fables or Walking Dead would have had the success that they have). Of course, they had the GREAT advantage of being a blank slate. DD (in terms of the court room stuff)would certainly suffer from the same thing that She-Hulk did: as soon as you have a She-Hulk or DD comic, there is an expectation of Superheroics. If there's not, it's almost like false advertising.

This is kind of wishful thinking on my part, but if I were EiC and wanted to do this, now would be the time. Matt is off the table for the moment, so someone could come in and reinvent him, just as Bendis had his way with him. But they would have to start off with something along the lines of "he's sworn off DD forever and ever, but these darn cases need some investigation of the sort only DD can provide."

Again, it's my own little personal fantasy, because I dig L&O when it's done well. And DD has all the elements to structure the same kind of a story.

Karl Kesel did a pretty good job at it when he was writing DD.
 
Alonso Speaks As Editor-in-Chief


http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=30242


A couple of things that jumped out at me. First, the article makes point that Alonso has a knack for recruiting talent, Duane Swierczynski, Victor Gischler, Fraction and Remender. That's a big positive going forward. Next is the mention of Garth Ennis and Brian Azzarello mentioned by name as those that have possibly contacted Alonso about Marvel work.
 
I'm really looking forward to Alonso taking over. His comments that he will be in the middle ground of the "new boss, same as the old boss" and "radical change" gives me hope that he will fix some of the mistakes made during the end of Quesada's tenure while allowing the successes of Quesada to thrive.
 
the question I have now is will we see more Marvel/DC stuff since DC said they wont work with Marvel as long as JQ was the EIC
 
He was saying things they didnt like...i dont know the specifics
