Is Spidey's long nightmare finally over?

Former Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada Leaves Marvel After 22 Years

Joe Quesada, former Marvel Comics editor-in-chief and current executive vice president and creative director of Marvel Entertainment, has announced he's leaving the company after 22 years.

 

Quesada made the surprise announcement via Twitter, telling fans, "After two plus decades (has it really been that long?), the time has come for me to move on. As you can imagine, my love for the company, its characters, and all my coworkers runs deep, but I have an exciting new chapter that's about to begin, so the time feels right."

Those would be good approaches if they stuck to them, but both Gordon and White are puffing away again currently, aren't they?

Perhaps the best way - if a little extreme - would be to have someone actually suffer the serious, life-altering (or -ending) consequences of smoking.

Actually, recall early 90s Spider-Man, MJ is getting into smoking more, brushing off Peter's worries on it. So he brings her to see long-time sleazy reporter character Nick Katzenberg, whos' on his deathbed from cancer and moaning on "shoulda quit years ago, never thought it would happen" and MJ tosses her cigarettes on the spot.
