Because if we're going to try and stop the misuse of our favorite comics and their protagonists by the companies that write and publish them, we've got to see what both the printed and online comics news is doing wrong. This blog focuses on both the good and the bad, the newspaper media and the online websites. Unabashedly. Unapologetically. Scanning the media for what's being done right and what's being done wrong.

Jeph Loeb becomes executive vice president for Marvel Entertainment
Another overrated writer has been promoted to a spot he never really deserved. Here, it's Jeph Loeb, whose most recent work of the limp as a comics writer was The Ultimates and the Red Hulk storyline (I vaguely recall reading some of his work on Batman 8 years ago, the Hush storyline, which was nearly 12 issues of nothing), who's now been promoted to head a special TV development division they've formed. True, he'll probably be out of the comics scripting field now, but I sadly figure his influence will be felt on more of their projects even behind the scenes.
