Now there seems to be something to back up my "conspiracy theory". Joe Q is a liar - there never was a policy, except in the brain of Joe Quesada. Now if only he would go the way of the policy...

Just in case Mr. Klein or someone from Marvel reads these comments, I'd like to dispute your statement that Marvel had no such policy at any time. I have two emails written by Mr. Quesada dated 2/13 and 2/14 2006. Hmm.

I mean, he's not really anybody and he's standing there telling people that black is white. I get that many people feel they have to take this from their bosses and politicans, but a Marvel PR drone?

What, like all those Joe Fridays where Quesada talked about how the policy existed even if he didn't really see a need for it? "Klein didn’t provide a reason why Rawhide Kid was considered a Max title during its publishing run, but said it was not due to pressure from conservative groups." IIRC, nobody ever said it *was*. The policy was supposed to have been formed in *response* to complaints from conservatives after the series was already published. Inaccurate reports?

Would they even listen to said person if they did? I thought this level of rank stupidity and cluelessness went out the door with Jemas. Apparently I was wrong.
