Fantastic Business Decisions

Authored by Michael Pate on June 16th, 2003 at 9:42 PM

Mark Waid has been fired as writer of Fantastic Four. He has one story. Marvel has another. What do I think? I think Marvel (in the form of Joe Quesada and Bill Jemas) intends to make the comic as similar to the movie as possible. Anyone who gets their way is expendable. It is not about talent, but marketing, although with the recent gaffes involving the Hulk, it can be easy to forget.
