You talk about writers overstaying their welcome but changing creative teams ever year prevents character development and sometimes a lengthy run sells well enough to justify keeping the same writer. Think about Chris Claremont's Uncanny X-Men, Stan Lee's Fantastic Four, Brian Reed's Ms. Marvel, Ed Brubaker's Captain America, Peter David's Hulk, Matt Fraction's Iron Man, David Michelinie's Amazing Spider-Man, Brian Bendis' Avengers and Garth Ennis' Punisher. They all left on a high note IMO.

Sure, every writer and every situation is different. Some guys such as Mark Millar or Jeph Loeb tend to build short, tight, concentrated stories and get in and get out. Others such as Brian Bendis or Jonathan Hickman do more long-term storytelling over a much greater number of issues and years. But we’re not disrupting that when we make our plans. if there’s a run going on that seems to be working, and on which the writer isn’t yet finished, we don’t force people to leave. This is why, for example, Dan Slott is still writing AMAZING SPIDER-MAN.
