Shooter

barring that whole Ms Marvel giving birth to her interdimensional rapist

Did Scott-Madelyn break up under his watch too?

This. Shooter ran a tight ship and people actually finished their work on time.

Is there anything he can't do?

Yes.

I've got mixed opinions on the Shooter era. On the one hand, Shooter radically professionalized Marvel's operations (the mid/late-1970s were just one huge clusterfuck of missed deadlines and shady freelancer contracts) and grew Marvel's market share. And his editorial instincts were mostly pretty good (although he whiffed on a lot of his ideas as well).

At the same time, his management style eventually ended up driving away a lot of Marvel's top staffers and freelancers and he wasted a lot of resources stubbornly trying to prop up his pet New Universe project.

Also, one could make the argument that the Shooter era would never have been as successful as it was without senior editor Archie Goodwin. I think any discussion of the Shooter era should mention that a lot of the good stuff the period is remembered for, such as the Epic Comics imprint becoming a platform for mature readers-rated and creator-owned work, came about only because Goodwin strongly advocated for them.

Defalco was the worst though

You have the nerve to say this while Bendis and Quesada exist.

>>82672700
Quesada was better than DeFalco, not sure why you mentioned Bendis, he's not an editor.

At shilling garbage?
