" There have already been a few curveballs thrown my way. That's just the nature of this kind of book. I just want to make sure that I tell the tightest story I can with however many issues I get." the more I continue to read interviews with your writers it seems that Marvel and Dc really aren't that different and Editorial has all the power on how the story unfolds or like Cullen says "Curve Balls" , what ever happened to a good story is a good story

A good story is a good story. But one of the fallacies of your thinking, I expect, is that everything a creator comes up with is perfect and wonderful, and everything an editor suggests is bad or evil or wrong.

I don’t know specifically what curve balls Cullen is speaking of—it might be that characters he wanted to use are in play in other writers’ stories. It could be that he wanted to kill off characters that we’d rather not kill off, or change somebody’s status quo in a way we didn’t think was a good idea long term. Or it could be any of a number of other things. Without knowing what he’s specifically referring to, it’s difficult to give you a full picture. But this is a collaborative medium, and that’s something that Cullen understands, to my experience—if he’s got any gripe with any of this, it’s news to me.

When the next issue of MAGNETO is suddenly written by somebody else, without any anouncement or heads up, then you can say that Marvel and DC really aren’t that different.
