New Brevoort Formspring

If it were up to me and if sales weren't a factor, there would be a lot more opportunities to occasionally spotlight obscure characters, team members on solo adventures, etc., like in limited series or one-shots or anthologies. As a fan, I find the Marvel Universe feels much richer when we can check in and be reminded that these characters are still out there having adventures. I get why this can't happen much, but do you think anything is lost by that?

Well, the only thing that’s really lost is the happy accident, when the right creators do the right character with the right story and magic happens. But let me ask you: the last time we did an anthology series of the type you’re talking about, did you buy it? If so, excellent! But if not, you’re very much like most of the audience. We all, readers and creators and editors alike, love the notion of anthologies, we just don’t find them compelling enough to pick up consistently.
