A continuation

Ok, my apologies for not including Daredevil. I never knew the public outcry would be so great.

#11: Should a comic's creative team be encouraged to visit the comic board of it's title?

You wanna risk it... go ahead. This ain't Disney, after all. Just remember ... everybody is somebody's waste of time. With any luck even you and your non-fans can share that sentiment.

#12: Who at Marvel would be your assistant and successor as the next Editor in Chief? (Writers & Artists encouraged)

I can't really say exactly. Somebody with a head for longevity... with a sense that while Marvel is an empire... every comic is somebody's first. Push your fan boy aside and consult the past. Perhaps Shooter, although then I have to wonder who would stay?

#13: What would be the most obscure Marvel character that you'd green light a miniseries for? (Creative team optional)

Madrox... Same team as the mini of course.

#14: How many "X" titles do you allow a month to be published?

1 (and of course rare minis... movie tie-ins, and the occasional focus in Marvel Unlimited)

#15: How many Spidey titles do you allow a month to be published?

Same policy as with X-Men... a little pruning helps the garden.

#16: Who would be your "pet" Marvel character, hero or heroine? (somebody you'd pick that no one else gets to touch but you.)

Anything Dan Slott wants to do... go for it. (Let the most qualified play around)

#17: Who would be the most major badass villain to run amok through a lot of Marvel Comics under your reign?

Seriously... no. You can't pick just one. I am leaving that one alone.

#18: What team title would you take a personal editorial interest in?(Basically what's your favorite team?)

I would like it to be Runaways... but Vaughan has that well in hand. Maybe New Avengers... I at least want to be there when Bendis is ready for a successor. No, I would probably either do Marvel Unlimited or the kids' line. There is going to be extra attention needed there at various points.

#19: Would you seek out more celebrity writers from the media or search the comicons for yet undiscovered talent?

They are welcome to submit and do stories for Unlimited if they wish. There are some bad celeb writers... fair is fair.

#20: What Marvel character do you push to get his/her/their own weekly television series?

Tough call. But creative teams get creative input... too much feces in the toilet as there is.

#21: What Marvel character do you push to get his/her/their own major motion picture?

Any of them. Same policy as with the TV thing. Except creative calls go with the editor even more so.

#22: Creative team is behind schedule. Do you use a fill-in inventory issue to get the book out on it's set time, or just delay the book by a number of weeks?

I would take a lesson from Conan. And do a story every 7 issues or so. That has been really effective to me as a reader. A chance to tell a story if the sub-writer can tell a story. And the regular series guys can take a break.

#23: How many delays from a creator do you tolerate before that person is removed from a title. It's a business after all.

I will leave that to the editor... or a decision made between us if need be. Not too many chances though. If you can't keep with the schedule, don't get in the game.

#24: And of course, who do you kill off?

Just titles if need be... for now mwahahaha.

There should be reviews by Monday. Or at the very least... something.
