In all seriousness, he is writing the Ant-Man and Wasp mini-series this June. Quite the demotion

This is why getting the SJWs out of comics isn't really going to help the medium in the long term.

Marvel's "Fresh Start" looks more like a wet fart with every new announcement:
Mark Waid: Ant Man & Wasp
Dan Slott: Iron Man
Nick Spencer: Amazing Spider-Man
Tanehisi Coates: Captain America
Where are the new creative teams that were promised?
Shuffling the same morons around does not mean "New Creative Teams".

I forsee Cap changing his title to "Captain White Men Built This Country On The Backs of Slaves", and instead of throwing a shield, he'll toss reparation checks at every black person he comes across.

A lot of these guys are more “hit and miss” writers, rather than actually bad ones. Say what you will about Dan Slott, but the ways he uses characters are pretty fascinating, so I’ll probably check out his work on Iron Man.Marvel's "Fresh Start" looks more like a wet fart with every new announcement:

Nah, he will use the power of the cosmic sphere or whatever to change history and have blacks enslaving whites. It will be simplistic, full of cliches, contradictory, racist, and it will be praised by all the usual suspects.

That's kind of hopeful, since his Superior Foes of Spider-Man was actually pretty solid.
Marvel's more or less chased off 99% of major creative talents under the Alonso and Brevoort eras. For example, they burned Jim Starlin so bad he refuses to work with them after 45 years of on and off work for Marvel. They pissed on Jonathan Hickman to the point the only times he brings up Marvel is to shit on them. Ed Brubaker hasn't done Big Two work in close over half a decade.
For fuck's sake, DC managed to poach Bendis from them. He's a terrible writer sure, but he's still a juggernaut of a writer for Marvel. I think they've only got Kieron Gillen, who is usually a poor man's Neil Gaiman, as a "major" writer.
You're not gonna get new talent when you can't keep the old guard around to stick around, or if the old guard fucking hates you.

According to tweets from Matt Rosenberg, Hickman (and Christopher Priest) was at Marvel's latest creative summit so I think they want him back for something. Though only rumoured at this point, I think Jim Lee was also talking to him about relaunching Legion of Super-Heroes, of which Hickman is a huge fan. It will depend on when the Legion characters are freed up because I have a sneaking suspicion that the main reason we haven't seen a Hickman Legion is because Geoff Johns has designs for them in Doomsday Clock.
Personally, I'm hoping DC to reel Hickman and give him a carte blanche for Legion. Heaven knows they haven't done anything interesting with them for a long time now.
I think Bendis could be a decent or even good writer if there is an editor with the balls to rein him in. I am damn sure the SJWs took Tom Broovert's and I hope (Superman group editor) Paul Kaminski still has his.

It's the 60th anniversary of the Legion this year, so I have a feeling DC is going to bring them out of mothballs this year - especially since there have been teases about the return of LOSH since Rebirth started, and they're one of Johns' pet causes.

If this mattered so fucking much to you, maybe you should've, I don't know, bought comics last year?
There were at least 2 all-female creative teams working at Marvel in the last relaunch and at least 6 female writers/artists on books as part of a creative team, and all of them sold like shit.

It's like the artist knew he didn't have the skill to draw a large crowd from a high angle, or any perspective at all, really. So we get a compilation of high school yearbook portraits stacked vertically.

Who would have guessed that a company packed to the brim with screeching dangerhair harpies would be a miserable place to work, and that DC would be better?

I own reprints of 60s-70 Dr strange, its trippy style is simply astounding, very interesting for Marvel. How did it evolve? Would it be worth to read Dr Strange nowadays for someone who's more into european comics? That cover with the digital copy-pasted effect circles doesn't really speak Dr Strange to me, so I wonder
