New Brevoort Formspring

I wasn’t even working at Marvel during Sins Past, so I have no insight into that storyline.

I am trying to think about any comics I worked on that are “reviled” and I am having a hard time coming up with one off the top of my head. I think it’s more common that a series meets with a negative response in the form of a “blah” response than one of hatred.

I think the large bulk of the comics I’ve worked on I still stand behind and believe in. I know of ones that got negative responses…but most ALSO got good responses. Like a lot of people like to talk smack about Gwenpool, but most of them have not read it…the people who read it really like it.

A few of the books I worked on recently got a very negative reaction–our Mercs spin-offs, Solo, Foolkiller, and Slapstick.  But…again, people seem to dump all over those books just in concept. They don’t want to read them, so therefore it’s ruining everything that we put them out. I still think all three were good books if you read them.

And I should admit…there has been the occasional book in my career that I worked on that I did not think was very good. But they are exceptionally rare, and occur much less the longer I work here. I try not to work on books I don’t believe in…and if I think a story is terrible, I do what I can to make it better.
