| Hey guys, A lot of us on this board share a certain distaste for what Joey Q. has done with our beloved Marvel Universe. I'm going to try to attend one of the panels he's on and ask him about this. I'm thinking of asking something like this but I'm open to suggestion for how to phrase it. Q: Hi Joe, I have always believed that the main job of the Editor in Chief is assuring that all the titles flow seemlessly together to create a living breathing universe. I think one of the main knocks on your work over the years has been a deterioration of that feeling. We have had countless occasions where major events happen like World War Hulk in which New York is evacuated and all but destroyed. Meanwhile in most other titles this has no effect. This is causing a lot of dissapointment amongst the fans. Do you have any plans to work on this or is this part of your plan to not handicap writers but worrying about continuity? Something like that anyway. I want to hear what he has to say. I'll film it and post it on youtube for you guys 
What's in my long boxes? http://www.comicspriceguide.com/world/default.asp?m=icebreaka

| I asked Joey Q this same question in an issue of Wizard a ways back. It was around the time Marvel Knight 4 was being published but I asked him about continuity and how it doesn't seem to exist between each book. He shrugged it off and replied by saying he would rather the writer tell a good story then be constrained by continuity. In essence, to hell with a cohesive universe as long as the stories being told are worthwhile.

I read a similar quote somewhere else, I really don't seem him ever doing anything to better things continuity wise.

| Tell him that to be remembered as a great EIC he has to respect continuity and release good stories at the same time. With his previous quote he just says he cant do both things....That means, bye bye and we hire a new EIC

I read that in an interview he did in CSN, right up there with the "At Marvel, Dead is Dead" quote...total and utter crap..IMHO..
