Loser Of The Week

Quote Of The Week
"Names like Brian Bendis, Ed Brubaker, Matt Fraction, Jason Aaron and Jonathan Hickman -- the so-branded Marvel Architects -- dominate the solicited books, while established, emerging and fan favorite talents from Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente to Rob Williams and Paul Tobin have decreased output and presumably fewer chances to ply their trade on a monthly title and build long term fan support -- not to mention a decrease in opportunities for up and coming writers to make their mark at the industry's biggest publisher." --
Kiel Phegley.
