Wolverine #304 (2012) - Return of an Alpha Flight member

Heh, I say it in jest.

A lot of the time I approach stuff from a purely business point of view so I kinda like that people disagree with me as although what I'm saying is correct in a financial manner it's reassuring to have people with creativity and passion say what if...?
Plus I'm the only active mod a lot of the time, so it's good to be a central figure of hatred and rule with an iron fist rather than have people flaming each other.

Not that there is hatred, dictatorship or flaming, but you get the picture.

I still love you all

It's a tricky one.
I've got some close friends in a few of the non-big two, but still well known, companies and I've been privvy to a lot of the insider workings, on top of my time in the retail side of things and while I probably could do well in editorial generally I think if that I did I wouldn't be able to enjoy comics for pleasure as it'd just be work to me.
Maybe that's the problem with editors of company-owned comics generally.

I havent been impressed with Loeb's work in years. It's crazy some of his work in DC was so groundbreaking and amazing, but in Marvel I just cant get behind it. It's awesome he used Wild Child and gave him credibility, but taking away Walter's and borderline retconning his orgins? Bah! Thankfully their retconning the retcon
