I enjoy his stories, however, he is a guy though that I don't really want on my favorite character as I know it will just be miserable for that character and tear down a lot of what they have built up from past writers. For instance, Steve Rogers is my favorite character. In Remender's run, he has killed off Sharon Carter and taken away his serum. So my favorite character no longer has the love of his life or have the ability to be the character that I enjoy so much.
I think his work on X-Force was superb and Uncanny Avengers has been fantastic since the first arc.
I know what you mean. I was a big fan of Brubaker's Cap run and Remender really came in and cleaned house. Cap has never been a favorite character of mine so it didnt effect me so much. I at least appreciated the fact that he took a risk and went so far left of the status quo. I'm hoping Sharon pops back up soon.
Rick Remender seems to be one of the more polarizing creators in comics today. Fans have been salty ever since the "M" word controversy last year to which Rick requested angry fans drown themselves in hobo piss. Now he's got readers in a tizzy over Jet Black and Sam Wilson bumpin' uglies and to a lesser extent Sam stepping into the role of Captain America. Personally I'm a fan and have been ever since he had one of the Reavers singing a FEAR song in the pages of Uncanny X-Force. I don't love everything he does, but I always check it out regardless. His track record has been very good in my opinion. I know there are several users on this site who don't care for his work. Feel free to express your distaste here and to further explain your stance. Or if your a fan like me talk about your favorite Remender Marvel series, reinvention of a character, creator owned work or punk rock easter eggs.
