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."

As a Spider-Man fan, I'm not sure I'll ever forgive him for a lot of things (especially the one big thing) but I have to at least give him credit for being experimental in his early days. It didn't always land and his double act with Jemas tended to be downright childish (especially when openly feuding with industry people like they were Vince McMahon or something) but Marvel was at least trying new things for a while.
