Very glad I did NOT know about this when I accepted your offer to write the companion book to Carnage: Mad Bomb, Carnage: It's a Wonderful Life. Strange Nightmare Journeys should live on the printed page, not behind the scenes! Thanks!

" I have no doubt that I would have driven over to his home in a rage and done violence to him"

"if one of Marvel's young editors did this today, I would drop-kick them into the sun."

THIS is the bloodthirsty Tom I know and love!

I never read any of these books but that's neither here nor there. I'm stuck on how different Marvel today would be without you. Sure, there would have been tons of great stuff still, but your office has had more than its share of my favorite titles in the last decade. Plus, would Bendis' run still have happened as it did? That run and the Ultimates was the start of the road to Marvel movies being so successful.

Somehow it's even funnier that it's a Douglas Wolk blurb, too, because you don't expect that kind of quote from him, really.

Loving the gossipy historical pieces! In that vein, here’s my question for this week (If it’s not too late):

What was your biggest comic-related/professional FEUD?

Thanks Tom!

I absolutely loved reading this. It doesn't really come across that gossipy, as I see it more as you candidly reflecting on mistakes and what you learned from them, which is something we should all be doing.
