Should Al Ewing be the next Editor-in-Chief of Marvel Comics?
>>156137737He looks fat and unhygenic.
>>156137737They're never letting a Brit get the role
>>156137737We're a long way away from that happening with the Wacker hire, but I honestly think Ewing would be a great editor. I like him as a writer, but his ability to keep track of canon is relatively special.
His writing has been VERY miss for me lately, but I respect him trying to maintain some continuity in a sea of apathy. Him as EIC might get some DeFalco care about that sort of thing again.
Yes.
>>156137737Even if you never liked his stories, yes, he cares about canon a lot
Despite how much he cares about canon I don't feel like he is the type of guy to go all shooter about it even if he is in a position of power. He has been all too willing to contort his shit the fit other people's nonsense. Would he actually tie writers down to a continuity.
>>156138456He seems to see bad stories and characters as problems to fix, which can be interesting and an accomplishment when you pull it off, but then you also can end up just following bad money down the Rabin hole. You as an editor or EIC need to know how to tard wrangle and also call time of death when a story has flamed out or misfired badly.Remember Lowe is liked by creators because he effectively just rubberstamps whatever is given to him.
Yes, because if he is, Loki will be the motherfucking FACE of the comics, just like he is in the MCU! (And Thor would continue to get raped and gaped by continuity.)Rise Lokichads. Ewing is the king of Lokichads.
>>156138412He’s also the king of Lokichads.
The best character to exist in Marvel
He'd be good as a linewide editor, like head of XHe wouldn't survive being editor in chief, he's got like zero business sense His biggest indie book ran for 15 issues and he did it for fucking Boom which just means he couldn't pitch Image

>>156137737If we could somehow split continuity nerd Ewing and the Ewing who keeps putting gay troon stuff in his comics into two separate people, the continuity nerd one might be a good editor.
>>156141423I need whatever malevolent force was guiding his late ANV issues to be excised.
>>156141556That's probably Marvel Editorial, who need to be exorcised in general.
>>156137737No, it should be some guy from old school like fabian nicieza or someguy like that or the christ yost and christos cage guys.
