YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even though he's goofy as hell, I think he has a better pulse on the fans than Brevoort does. Excellent news.

I used to prefer Brevoort to Alonso because I thought Tom had a better grasp on continuity (and wasn't afraid to tell writers "no" when they pitched bad ideas), but in recent years they've become indistinguishable.

Wow, this is...really, quite surprising. Very curious how--if at all--this might affect some of Marvel's publishing plans.

Holy shit. That's out of nowhere.

Good choice, as Joe remarked, Alonso has a good eye for talent.

WHOA! That's big news.
Let the internet war over the Quesada Era begin! My vote: one of the best in comics history. About time for a change at the top, though, I suppose.
Congrats to AA!Last edited by Bevbos; 01-04-2011 at 10:02 AM.
