I was unhappy with the inking of my pencils, which I felt made my work look mechanical and unnatural. Mike Rockwitz kept promising to make a change but never did. Then, after nine months on the book, Mike called me to say how unhappy he was with my pencilling and that he wanted me off the book. I complained that this was the first time I had received any negative comment from anyone and it was unfair to suddenly lower the boom. Mike finally agreed to work with me to make everyone happy. <BR/><BR/>Shortly after that Mark Gruenwald called me up to say that the writer, Ron Marz wanted me off the book and Marvel wanted to keep Ron happy. <BR/><BR/>Long story short. The bottom line was that everyone was unhappy and Mike Rockwitz didn't know how to be a good editor. You will notice I don't feel the need to totally slam Mike, Ron, or anyone else. It's unprofessional. I was miserable over the experience and my relationship with Marvel never repaired itself. Life goes on.<BR/><BR/>Bruce ZickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
