New Brevoort Formspring

Regardless of the reason for their departure (don't care if they left for creator owned, or DC, or another Marvel title, etc), can you share some runs that you thought would have been great but ended prematurely when the writer left, or at least acknowledge they exist? Are there any outlines you received but then couldn't use that still disappoint you when you flip past them in the file drawer? You know, like "Grounded", only the exact opposite of that.

I don’t know, most of that stuff tends to just fade away into the background past a certain point.
I remember that Geoff Johns had some excellent AVENGERS ideas before he left that title, including a locked room murder mystery set inside Avengers mansion that had a really cool solution.
And somewhere, I’ve got a very basic one-line-per-issue breakdown of what Fabian Nicieza would have done on NEW WARRIORS had he stayed on for another year.
But with every run, those that go on forever and those that end after only a few issues, there’s always business left over. There are things that Brian Bendis didn’t get to on AVENGERS, or that Ed Brubaker didn’t get to on CAPTAIN AMERICA, and both of them did long extended runs on each title.
