Axel Alonso becomes Marvel's EIC
So finally, after a decade, Joe Quesada is leaving the editor's office and giving the job to Axel Alonso.
But does that mean there's any good news? If this past decade is any indication, I don't think so. In fact, according to the following part:
That aside, Alonso's work as an editor on Spidey and X-Men was nothing to write home about either. He was instrumental in the destruction of the Spider-Marriage, and that's one more reason why I realize this change in editors is certainly nothing to crow over.
As a result, I'm not sure if Alonso will even have much of a career as EIC ahead of him, with sales dwindling as they are, thanks in part to his own destruction.

Alonso joined Marvel in 2000 as a senior editor and helped oversee critically lauded runs of Amazing Spider-Man and the X-Men, along with revisioning western character Rawhide.They cut that last part foolishly short; it's supposed to be Rawhide KID, and the MAX title they published that "revisioned" that old western hero depicted him so embarrassingly as "flaming gay" that it was reviled by many.
