New Brevoort Formspring

"a story written by five writers that none of them wanted to write, featuring a character that none of them were interested in using more" - that's how it was done by decades, by writers and artists who made some great stories but who didn't even necessarily like superhero comics in the first place (John Buscema, for one). A professional will write professionally even if they hate the job.

I’m sorry, but I disagree with you that this was ever the case when it comes to writers in comics. Nobody ever wrote characters and stories that they didn’t want to write, not with any success. It’s not a question of being a professional, it’s a question of what characters, concepts, stories and ideas inspire you and speak to you and motivate you as a writer. If you want to get a bunch of stinky stories, force somebody to use characters and plot elements that they’ve got no connection to. Maybe some crappy writers will do it just for the paycheck, and some perhaps because they feel their talent is so great that they can salvage any crummy character or plotline, but history shows us that those tend to wind up being te stories that everybody would rather forget about.
