Quesada was EiC from 2000 to 2010.

So I guess basically we have two guys to blame now.

I appreciate your confidence in my abilities, John. ;-)

I have no editorial experience, but I'm already planning what I'd do. Events would become as frequent as the FIFA World Cup (every four years); crossovers would be kept to a minimum; and I'd insist on mainly standalone tales, with occasional 2-4 parters allowed once every couple of years or so.

And once every 2 years, December would be "cross-pollination month". Editors would have to give us standalone tales featuring new encounters. So X-Men would face Dr. Octopus, Captain America would take on the Vulture, Iceman would battle Kraven, and Spider-Man would take on Bullseye.

He's written novels? 

His dialog is some of the worst I've read. Suffers from "Snappy patter" syndrome. Which also afflicts many of his fellow Marvel writers. 

He's the George R.R. Martin of comics in that way. The only difference is it doesn't take frickin' forever for Bendis' work to hit the stands.

And by the end of it Batman and Hourman will be gay and engaged.
