Tantrum

And by that I mean he delays half of Marvels titles and there by weakens the ENTIRE COMIC BOOK INDUSTRY!

I want to say that the comic book industry is struggling and this idiot is ruining the top selling company! 'But that would be premature so I won't say that.

Books get delayed all the time. It's not the first time, nor is it the last time. DC has just as many delays as Marvel, and so do all other companies. And honestly, did we need another 'Bash Quesada' thread?

[foxfire]

Yeah, everyone hates the delays, they suck. But its obviously not all Joey Q's fault.

Unless he's the one who gave Mark Millar Crohn's disease. It's a conspiracy!

[foxfire]

I heard that he hides Dan Slott's She Hulk scripts in his drawer for a month, which is why they're late :D

He keeps jumping out of a bush and scaring Chris Claremont. I heard it from my LCS guy. ;)

[BigBoss]

I agree.

Joe isn't doing very well. Also, JMS needs to go soon.

Marvel isn't the top selling company any more, DC is, DC won the best publisher award by a land slide.

Check the sales numbers. Marvel is still beating DC by a large margin.

I admit I'm slightly appalled by the censorship that was done in the Tom Brevoort thread I think it maybe time to post elsewhere. They erased most my post. When is it wrong to advise that you will never buy a companies books again if the writer is off too busy writing a tv and movie script? I don't see where that is against cbr guidelines.

Maybe the idea that it was just a bit rude?

Why does everyone blame Joey Q for everything? If a comic is delayed, blame Joey Q, if somebody doesn't like the art in issue 89 of Exiles, blame Joey Q, if little Timmy in the backwoods of Arkansas gets a hangnail, blame Joey Q. Give the guy a break I don't think he's responsible for everything that goes wrong in Marvel, or in the entire comics industry. Want to rag on a editor, give Dido (or whoever) crap for greenlighting that Identity, Infinite Crisis-crap. That's the kind of crap thats dragging the industry down.

[drwho]

I don't blame Joe Q I just happen to blame the writers when they should be finishing writing thier comic books and not covorting around hollywood writing scripts and treating the comic industry unprofessionally.

[Mr.Musgrave]

Yeah, and I'm sure you know exactly what's happening behind closed doors to make blanket statements like that. What a rediculous thread.

[Joe Acro]

I don't really agree that the delays are his fault, but I will say that he's ruining the Marvel universe, even if not by himself. I don't really want to provide examples because that requires an almost zen-like rant that I just don't have the energy for right now.

[Young Avenger]

But Mark Millar isn't a Hollywood writer. He's a comic writer with health problems. I agree with everyone else that the delay is not Joe Q's fault.

[Torchbot]

Well, not by a large margin, but Marvel is on top as of latest figures (July).

However, maybe he was referring to the amount of money that each company has to support them. DC clearly has the most since they are owned by the major corporation Warner Bros. If that wasn't the insinuation, then I'm not sure what was meant.

It's the EiC. Of course it's his fault. If Millar and/or McNiven couldn't get the job done with more than 6 months of working schedule before issue#1 hit and he STILL put them on the title IT'S HIS FAULT

So it's Joe Q's fault that Millar is suffering health problems? Bottom line is s*** happens that alters everyones plans. To blame Joe Q for something he has no control over is stupid.

[Jake V]

Is it also his fault that they've been the #1 publisher for at least the last 5 years?

Does he take the blame for Marvel's sales going up on a steady increase since he took the EIC job?

Or is he only at fault for late comic books?

[Capt Hunter]

My god... threads like this make me wonder if people have grown up... The books are gonna be late... The Sky is Falling.. The Sky is Falling... Its not gonna hurt the industry.. its not gonna help it either....

Stop sounding like that kid in the toy store that won't shut the hell up if he can't have his toy...

Joe Q is not destroying the Marvel Universe.... way to overreact...

[Conn Seanery]

It's funny how anger makes people think their own "unique" view of stuff being discussed already in numerous other threads deserves it's own.
