Tom Brevoort looks at what makes a Mighty Marvel Pitch:
At Marvel, the story comes first. The stories are what keep people coming back, while the art might be what gets them through the door. Story is the top concern—if there’s a compelling enough story, we’re more likely to try a project without a whole lot of obvious commercial appeal, counting on the strength of the story itself to connect to a readership. And conversely, we’re likely to pass on an obvious commercial idea if there doesn’t seem to be a story that works in support of it. The story is the thing we’re most interested in as a whole.
On the other hand, there’s New Avengers/Transformers.

Graeme, I mean this with all respect: If you liked NEW AVENGERS/TRANSFORMERS, I’d really think I’d done it wrong.

Marvel Megamorphs.
‘Nuf said!
Actually, why not the Megamorphs vs. Transformers? Where do I send the pitch?

Stuart, I’m buying everything you’ve got in the next round of solicitations… just because of that comment!

Megatron’s first appearance really needed more build.

Hmm–I had something clever to say and now I’m scared it’ll help sell more copies of New Avengers/ Transformers.
I’ll shut up.
