This is an instance where a writer – Mike Carey – had an idea big enough that his editor – Daniel Ketchum – thought we should huddle up to discuss it. Upon review, David Gabriel and I realized we were looking at a tight and focused event, more along the lines of "Curse of the Mutants" than, say, "Second Coming." It's a big story, but it doesn't cut across lot of titles and it definitely won't outstay its welcome.
Aside from the big numbers on the X-Men #1 issue, has Curse of the Mutants been that strong in sales that you'd want to compare a new project to it? I don't know and can't be arsed to look it up. I just know everything I heard about no one wanting to be involved in that top-down project. If I were Carey, I'd be a bit offended to have my idea compared to Curse of the Mutants. Wouldn't you?

Other then the No1 issues of uncanny x force and Wolverine (multiple covers), it's been the no 1 x book since it started, so it can't be going that bad.
ReplyDeleteOK, then. If I were Carey, then I'd just take it as hoping to lead the paying customers from Curse of the Mutants to my book, regardless of whether they were on the same level or not.
