Me Myself and I

Belgian and utterly incapable of sticking to one fandom. My heart is shared by Scott McCall, Dean Winchester, the real Peter Parker, Buffy Summers, Spike, Clark Kent, Miles Morales, Kieren Walker, Steve Rogers and too many others to count

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

Without Todd McFarlane Spider-Man would not be around today, I think it's time people began considering him as one of the character's creators alongside Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. People do it with Chris Claremont and X-Men characters all the time, so why not allow Todd McFarlane the same accord with a character he kept alive.

Todd McFarlane did great work on Spider-Man, but he in no way saved that character from extinction. AMAZING SPIDER-MAN was a top-selling title when he came onto it. It remained a top-selling title and sold even better while he was doing it, but that’s not quite the same thing as what you’re talking about. So, sure, Todd’s work on Spider-man ought to be celebrated for what it was—an excellent run. But let’s be careful about annointing messiahs.

Hey, look, someone at Marvel actually admitting Spider-Man was a top selling title with a married Peter and Mary Jane, remained a top selling title, and even increased its sales during the marriage!  

But don’t worry, I’m sure the usual Marvel hypocrisy and revisionist un-history will resume their usual schedule.  I’m not sure Brevoort even knows what he did here, since he was aiming at the McFarlane fan.
