Joe Quesada meddeler at han har bedt komiteen til dette års Eagle Awards om at fjerne hans navn fra de nominerede i kategorien “bedste redaktør” med følgende begrundelse:
I often found that whenever a Marvel Editor in Chief was nominated for a “Best Editor” award, they would almost always win. I always thought this rather unjust as an EIC had an unfair advantage over line editors as he was the person whose name was on all the books and like everyone who has had this job, we tend to get way too much credit for the hard work of others.
That is why in the past, when I have found myself nominated for Best Editor awards, I have always asked for my name to be taken out of contention as being Editor in Chief really require no hands on editing but rather global direction of the creative division of our publishing arm.
Folk har ofte travlt med at kaste mudder efter Quesada, men dette er da et rimeligt cool træk – giv priserne til de, der fortjener dem!
