Shawn was looking was a story to showcase his undoubted skills, and when told the story of Earthruler, jumped right in[...]

Few of us get to play for so long in a world we loved as a child, and I'll always appreciate the readers who made it possible. Long live the Legion! Not everyone was as sanguine. Holy shit, did DC just end the Legion franchise after 40 years of continuous publication? #AnotherProudNew52Moment — Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) May 13, 2013   @philjimeneznyc[...]

The experience was disappointingly foreign and unengaging and left me thinking free was the appropriate price.

Anyway, just speaking with him from my[...]

And both included Mark Waid. The first was in 2003, when Marvel Comics' EVP Bill Jemas decided to fire Waid and Mike Weiringo from Fantastic Four, when Waid declined to write the book as he described as a "suburban dramedy." Jemas hired playwright Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa to take the book on There was internet outrage and within[...]
