I think it’s easy to take Brian for granted given the sheer amount of work he puts out every single month. It’s also been long enough that he’s been around now for other younger writers to emerge who were influenced by his approach to the material. But none of that changes the fact that Brian is in all likelihood one of the 5 most influential writers in Marvel history, one whose work actually changed expectations about the pace and emotional depth of Marvel stories and how they play out.
