"Quesada's been a good editor for the most part. One single action can't undo *everything* he's done. Oh wait! That's *exactly* what happened with Spider-Man! I suppose it can then, huh.That wasn't too heavy handed was it? Seriously though, I'm with Deathscythe. Quesada's the only editor I've known so he wins by default."
Not at all, when one single action affects 20+ years of history it's the equivalent of about 100 screw-ups. Moreso, if the character is as iconic as Spider-Man. Quesada deserves the onslaught of anger and aggression he's getting at the moment. One can only hope, however, that there is some way to fix what seems to be impossible at the moment. And perhaps that "impossibility" is just the anger fans feel.
Tie between Civil War and Nightwing (bought at the same time). But Civil War was what really gave me the interest in comics as a whole and ever since then I've never looked back.
Unfortunately, I wasn't a comic fan back in the 90s so I have no idea what Harras and Defalco did, maybe you could elaborate on it, Zero Edge?
Since Quesada is really the only editor I've known since I've been a Marvel fan, he gets my vote. I still don't understand what the point of retconning was going to achieve? He could achieved the effect he wanted by using conventional means. That's not assuming his plan wasn't to get as much media attention as he could so he could sell more comics. As much as fans may have spoken about dropping Spidey, I don't think a majority of them will. But you never really know.
