For everyone who thinks that Marvel doesn’t have any kind of editorial oversight, Tom Brevoort has something to tell you:
Yesterday began another cycle of Editor Classes here at Marvel, presided over by Klaus Janson, in which the editorial staff at Marvel studies the tenants of comic book storytelling in an attempt to increase our knowledge and ability. It’s an outgrowth of the classes that Klaus regularly teaches at the School of Visual Arts, and even for those of us who’ve been through them before, it’s a good brush-up on several important concepts crucial to effective comic book storytelling.

Shouldn’t that be “tenets of comic book storytelling”? Was that a test? Can I be an editor now?

They have editorial oversight…never doubted that. It just sucks.

I remember that time all of the tenants of comic storytelling protested in the lobby, chanting “No Roger, No Rerun, No Rent!”

That is awesome. Klaus is such a good teacher. I had him at SVA.

This from the man who waits until comics are written and drawn before he edit them…

This is quite a leap of logic. The man says that he does the bulk of his heavy-lifting once the books are drawn and that somehow ends up meaning that he lets books be created, sight unseen, and then gets around to looking at them?
That’s ridiculous and honestly has barely anything to do with the article in question.
