Comics Joey Q Fired or Stay as EIC?

[wolvie2020]

Woah dude, take a chill pill. This thread is just to post on whether you think Joey Q should stay as EIC because of what he's doing with Spidey. I'm sure he's done a lot more with the MU, but I'm just talking Spidey. Yes, I know Spidey isn't the all and end of the MU. Infact I remember 80's,90's to current that Spidey has always been a outcast to the MU. He was A RESERVED Avenger for so many years until the Avengers blew up themselves and started a new.

There are A LOT of people out there that hate Joey Q because of what he's doing with Spidey and a professional in that type of management job title should know every nut and bolt of the business, including character history. I HAVE SEEN JOEY Q diss, disrespect, and shoo fans away, especially Spidey fans, all because he thinks he knows what he's doing and when he messes up he makes excuses such as. "It's in the past, forget it." "The writers for the arc aren't here in the pannel." "Yes, it was a mistake, let's move on.", translation..."I really don't care what you geeks/fanboys think, I'm cool, you are not. I run the show so I'll do things the way I want, I was scoring chicks in high school while you read comics." Seriously, I've seen what he's done to fans as an onlooker. He shows now respect for any fan, only the ones that kiss his behind. I HAVE SEEN IT! That's why I don't like Joey Q, and personally I don't want someone like that managing Spidey stories. That's just me.

If you think Joey Q is doing fine, hey that's great. Post your vote, that's your two cents...your cool, I am so not dissing you, just wanted to find out what other peopl are saying and from the looks of things, they are saying what they wanna say. No logic in this whatsoever, just want to hear other people thoughts of this guy and his personal direction on Spidey and with that personal direction should be in the position he's in.

No worries, I didn't mean to come off as angry, or riled up, (problem with writing your opinion, as opposed to speaking with a voice.)

I completley understand everything you're saying, and to be honest, everything you're saying is true. He does make mistakes, and he does behave like a tool.

I have mucho respect for what the man has achieved, his knowledge, and his PR/business skills, and what he has done for comics as a medium, but all in all, he is a wank stain to comic fans who disagree with him.

I still think it's unfair to pose this question, just because of Spider-Man. I made my points plenty clear why in the last post.

As Cap Stacy said before, I think something like this could be aimed in the direction of someone like Axel Alonso, but I generally think the question is unfair.

Well, let's just hope OMD changes everyone's mind. I love how we comic fans can be fickle, hate someone one second, and praise them the next, lol.

P.S. I didn't even get my 2 cents right, I voted that he should go intead of staying, lol

And I would agree that it was a reckless decision, but where is it written that Peter doesn'y make reckless decisions... unmasking to the Black Cat, revealing his identity to his friends while he had the flu, going after Doc Ock when he had a virus, etc...

And while Tony's pressure was probably just aiding in Peter not thinking straight, his Aunt May's blessing, in MY opinion, is what really made the decision a tad easier to make for Peter.

Cheers...

Lol, you're so right.

One of Pete's trademarks is making bad decisions!

That's why we love him, it makes him more human. I know I make bad decisions all the time

I think one of my favorites is when he fought Hobgoblin while drunk. t:

Yea, but that wasn't his fault, lol.

I actually thought it ended up as coming off as a cheesy, 'kids, heroes don't drink!' typical US warning thing.

While it makes sense that he CAN'T get pissed on a regular basis, (being a vigilante and all,) it still came off as corny.

JMS did a great ish where, (I think it was ASM499,) where Pete and MJ have some wine over dinner, and they get amourous

That was done very tastefully, and realistic. While also showing the point that he can't drink too much, but is an average Joe that does get have a little tipple if the occasion warrants it.

But yea, that, (Hobgob,) ish was pretty damn funny

More reckless decisions... going nutso after he "found out" he was the clone and hitting MJ and being by the Jackal's side... retiring as Spidey like two dozen times... bringing back the Venom symbiote to Earth without considering the consequences... later making a deal with Venom... revealing his ID to his "parents"... and then there's all the times he's put friends in harm's way... And that's just scratching the surface. Peter is ALWAYS making mistakes he regrets or feels guilty about later on. It's part of his appeal and a character trait that's been there since his original reckless mistake... letting Uncle Ben's killer run by him. So there.

I think he has been the best EIC since Jim Shooter.

 

[USMC]

and I never said anything about Tony being a "father figure"... you came up with that based on whatever crap was being spewed on the internet about their relationship at the time... I did say and I quote... "approached by Tony AS A FRIEND AND PEER (in the crime fighting world) and basically was told to "do the right thing"... so I never acknowleded nor admitted anything about a father figure. I saw it as it's always been presented: two long time crime fighters who have fought alongside each other for a long time (other than the Human Torch, Iron Man made the most appearancess in the original 150 issue run of Marvel Team Up); hence Peter's respect as a longtime friend and peer.

Sorry man, but you put words in my mouth.

Cheers...

Guess I didn't have to "put words in your mouth".

Seems like JMS & Co. did it for you.

Cheers.

Which is why I continue to say-Whatever job performance goals, Joe Q is required to attain, he must be doing that or he would be out on his ear.

Yes, As soon as I read #544 this morning, I thought of this thread.On one hand Peter looks upon him as a father figure on the other, he told him that he used to call him BOSS to mess with his head.Peter Parker has issues with Father figures just like Tony Stark has issues with intellectual equals.Both JJJ and Norman Osborn have warped Father /Son issues with Peter/Spider-Man.Was Tony Stark drinking alcohol in that bottle?

Yeah, Peter probably does have issues dealing with father figures... but at the same time he's never really searched for other male approval... Or maybe he has in a subtle way?

Anyhow, what'd you think of the issue?

I just meant that May already gave peter her blessing to BE Spider-Man before the CW even got going.

And MJ was terrorized by Venom, etc; why would she suddenly think it was a great idea for the world to know the good Peter's done when she herself knows first hand what it means when one of Peter's enemies knows his identity?

No matter how it's written, it didn't make sense. Aunt May.... MAYBE. Simply because she had no real experience being on the receiving end of one of Peter's villains (knowing his identity and her knowing they know). But MJ?

Absurd.

Oh, and I'm going to try and download your books, DT, finally!

Aloha,
Welcome to the Library. By the way-If you check out Civil War #2- you will see that Peter states that " after discussing with his wife and family" he decided to unmask. On that same page, MJ and Aunt May are watching him on TVwith approval.If you are looking for some sort of sense out of the unmasking-Black and Blue and Read all over is a significant part of the Unmasking Chronology.

Do you have Black and Blue and Red available to download?

It was a build up intro issue. Being a fan-I've seen some of the pages months ago.I'm glad Joe Q dosen't draw anymore-although I didn't hate his art and it didn't turn me off from reading the book like Ramos. I noticed in the bio at the end of this issue-Aunt May is listed as alive or at least not deceased!

I enjoyed Ramos during the Goblin arc he worked on... the crazyness of it just fit, IMO. But his work is distracting.

But, in defense of JQ (or maybe as a backhanded complement), his art didn't make me NOT want to read the issue.

Yeah... as soon as I read that in the comic, I thought of you and this thread, slapped my hand over my eyes and shook my head.



That last panel was awesome though...

eh, no worries. I just want the best for Spider-Man, as a character, a franchise... everything! I miss having fun reading comics.

I concur!

Aunt May is alive as of OMD part one. I don't understand how that's a clue.

Aloha,
I think the tpoint here today is that folks are going back to well thought out arguments regarding Spidey ,WITHOUT the hostility that has been going on for some years now. Any way you look at it, this is a Brand New Day for the Amazing Spider-Man book(s). There is cautious optimism regarding what's going to happen to Spidey. Optimism hasn't been around here in a LOOOOONG Time

Is it me or does Peter look a little like Joe Q. *sigh*

hmm, not sure about that one.

He looks a little like wide boy you are right, and Stark is Downey Jr.

 

[Kaizer104]

He looks like Quesada when Quesada was slimmer. I guess he's using himself as a basis for Spider-Man?

I'm looking for a comic book store or something so I can read this comic myself..any common comic locations?
