Comics Joey Q. Should he be fired?

[Spydernorbs]

YES! For the love of all that is holy....YES!!!

 

[Thirteen Shadows]

Yes!

 

[savemarvel]

Yes.

 

[USMC]

Yes. Yes.

Oh, and YES.

 

[deathshead2]

Yes the way he handles things are just bad and because of it I barly read any marvel titles im all DC now.

 

[Shadow_Knight]

Oh hell yeah.

 

[WolfCypher]

I just started reading Teen Titans & JLA because of Joey! I actually should be thanking him for turning me off of Marvel and experiencing new titles.

[PhotoJones]

no.

and here's why:

astonishing x-men
the ultimate line
daredevil
civil war (so far)
brubaker
whedon
joe mad
mcniven
maleev
captain america (bru and epting)
spider-man/iron man relationship
making 2nd and 3rd stringers relevant
kirkman
slott
planet hulk
millar
GAIMAN
max comics
isanove
mack
joe fridays
coipel
bendis (ult. spidey, daredevil, pulse, alias, etc.)
SENTRY
ennis and dillon
making us ALL anticipate thor's return by taking him away
^hawkeye
she-hulk
nextwave
middleton

and these are all off the top of my head. without joe's connections and personality (not to mention smarts in approving some really great ideas), we'd never see these guys work for marvel, or return to marvel.

yeah, sometimes he makes mistakes, but i respect his willingness to take risks.

i say hats off.

 

[Doomed_hero]

no, but keep him the **** away from any Spider-Man decsions

 

[PhotoJones]

no, but keep him the **** away from any Spider-Man decsions

if you're referring to the unmasking:

at least wait until the story concludes. if it sucks, he'll be the first to admit it. he did, after all admit to the crap that was "sins past" and to an extent, "the other."

 

[WolfCypher]

So you're saying its ok to make bad decisions as long as he admits he was wrong after the damage has been done?

 

[PhotoJones]

what kind of logic is that?

who deliberately makes bad decisions? no one.

i'm sure they seemed cool at the time.

are you telling me, every decision you've ever made was a good one?

 

[WolfCypher]

No, but he really should heavily think his decisions or at least start listening to the fans. He keeps making these reckless decisions as if he's just trying to create the next "big controversal summer crossover event" to blow us away.

you make it seem like these things are decided on in five minutes. they have retreats and summits and outline this stuff to the last detail. it's agreed on by the writers and the editors. joe's just the one that signs off on it.

as for listening to the fans, look at dc. they've been listening to the fans for 50 years, and superman's still boring.

 

[WolfCypher]

That's fine, but it is still overwhelming when all Marvel can produce are these big story arcs and crossovers constantly that rely on a flip-of-the-coin chance of succeeding or failing. I'm not saying Joe can instantly make a decision on a story he knows will work. Fine, he takes chances, and the readers give him chances, but how many chances are we suposed to give him? He failed with Sins Past (I had high hopes for), he failed with "The Other", and he took a chance with these new Spider powers and costume. You can't seriously tell me that if these next few JoeyQ events fail that you'll still have his back? I'm not trying to change your mind. If you like him, fine, but like I said, he's the reason I converted over to DC and independent comics.

i just don't understand you point of view. yeah marvel has a lot of crossovers; especially in the summer months. but dc are the kings of that stuff. 52, anyone? and they've milked the word "crisis" to the last drop. i just think marvel's WAY more exciting these days.

 

[WolfCypher]

I wasn't defending DC either. I just got into DC because I'm NOT liking Marvel anymore. Understand, I only read certain Marvel comics. I don't have the money or time to read everything Marvel produces, so I mainly read Spider-Man, and the way SM is being handled, with the exception of USM, its too much for me. I don't think Spider-Man should be handled the way it is. But I still like to read comics. Its a passtime I've enjoyed since I was still afraid of the dark and used to find toys in my cereal box and watch the original Power Rangers. I know comics change with each generation but I know Spider-Man should not be the way it is, no matter what new changes you (Joe) feel are needed. Wheter these changes are good OR bad, its more than we need and more than I prefer to tolerate.

And yes, DC does have a thing for "Crisis"es...

well...i hope it doesn't get so bad for you that you never come back.

 

[WolfCypher]

Me too. There's still USM and Ult. Fantastic 4 I'm religiously reading. It was nice to have an intelligent debate without needless profanity and flaming, also.

i read the first few issues of ult. f4, and i just couldn't get into it. i hear it's gotten better, though.

yes, nice debates are nice.

Don't forget that, according to Young Avengers #1: Director's Cut, Joey Q is the man responsible for not only talking Heinburg out of quitting Young Avengers before he even started, he also was the one to help him get the first scene on paper.

Without Joey Q....there'd be no Young Avengers.
