First, my thought on the downsizing of Ike Perlmutter at Marvel / Disney.Then a reprint of a 2009 Marvel Talk with Tom Brevoort talking about the Marvel books of that era, and the philosphies of event books tie ins and multiple titles of a group or hero.This is at the start of The Heroic Age which followed the Dark Reign period. You'll hear about the characterization of the Marvel Retreat Summits which would dictate the directions of the Marvel UniverseThis was all pre-disney era marvel., right after the success of 2008's Iron Man Film.
