This really can’t be said often enough. And since there’s no momentum to the storyline and the protagonists are so shockingly tolerant of it, it has absolutely no impact.
The cronyism at Marvel is insane.
Brevoort has done absolutely nothing better than Lewis in the past 4 years.
He has made two events that sold terribly and sunk the sales of Marvels second best valuable franchise, if he worked any other industry in America he’d have been fired.
Brevoort doesn’t get it. The Krakoa era worked because every book felt like part of one big, interconnected story. Even weaker titles added bricks to building the mutant nation. Readers got a real sense of progress and payoff from almost every book.#Xspoilers
