Axel Alonso

With all my knee-jerk snark out of the way, I don't really know enough about Axel Alonso to offer a terribly intelligent reaction to his promotion, or to Joe Quesada and this "Chief Creative Officer" business. Greg Land is absolutely an albatross around the X-titles' neck, but whether Alonso has anything in particular to do with his ubiquity, I couldn't say. What I can say is that Second Coming was hands-down the tightest, most coherent and well-executed Marvel event I've read in years and years, so to whatever extent that was his doing, Marvel's in good hands. I guess we'll see.
