 * wow! you won't believe this! i just heard that Joe Quesada is no longer editor-in-chief of Marvel! he has been fired, supposedly by Disney executives for violating the contract! i couldnt believe it either but its true! i have pasted the entire interview below..

Full Interview:
 * reporter: "So, what would you say, in your words, exactly happened?"
 * Quesada: "To be honest, I'm not sure. It was a normal day, when suddenly I heard word of the MAX line being canceled."
 * reporter: "How did you feel?"
 * Quesada: "I was outraged. I couldn't believe it myself at first. The cancellation would be my decision, or so I thought."
 * reporter: "Then what happened?"
 * Quesada: "I called up some of the higher executives from Disney, and they simply explained that they did not like the MAX line, that I in fact created. [They] then went on to say that they were not happy with me as an Editor-In-Chief. And I was fired, just like that."
 * reporter: "Just like that?"
 * Quesada: "Exactly."
 * reporter: "Did they ridicule anything else of your decisions making during the time you were the Editor-In-Chief of Marvel Comics?"
 * Quesada: "As a matter of fact, yes. They claimed the sales of the Trade Paper Back Listings were poor, and the renumbering of comics was a bad idea, losing hundreds of fans."
 * reporter: "When you agreed for the sale of Marvel Comics, did you expect something like this to happen to anyone, let alone you?"
 * Quesada: "Not at all. I truly thought the sale as a benefit to the future of Marvel Comics. Perhaps it could be, but I won't be there to find out."
