Forget sales, forget prestige titles... much of the crazy behavior is driven by one instinct: to be part of an exclusive club.

Be it the creators, the commentary, or social media... this desire to view everything through a political lens is hurting comics.

It was perhaps intended as a silly, light-hearted look at "The Marvel Method"... but whatever Disney and Marvel meant to do, it delivered a portrait of an unreliable writer whose lack of diligence on the job forced other creators to work harder to make up for it. Fair or unfair, looking at the fallout of the Disney+ documentary.

Why Marvel 616 documentary on Disney Plus is angering some comics fans
Is Marvel writer Dan Slott hard at work or hardly workin'?
A new Disney Plus documentary showing how Marvel comics are made has comics fans divided. Marvel 616, streaming now, looks behind the scenes of various facets of the Marvel universe, from weird Japanese Spider-Man remakes to toys and cosplay communities. But it's the apparently lackadaisical approach of writer Dan Slott that's left some fans unimpressed.
Episode 7, entitled The Marvel Method, follows the creation of a new comic from writer to printer. Most of the focus is on writer Slott as he struggles to come up with a plot for the first issue of Iron Man 2020 while deadlines get tighter and tighter.
The jocular Slott's slow working pace makes life harder for everyone around him, including editor Shannon Ballesteros, artist Pete Woods, writer Christos Gage, who has to write the comic's dialogue because Slott can't, and unfortunate letterer Joe Caramagna, who has to race to finish the comic just hours before it goes to the printers.
Some creators and fans have questioned whether Marvel should be making light of what seems like, on the face of it, a pretty unprofessional working style.
The episode title comes from the so-called Marvel Method pioneered by Stan Lee in the 1960s. Back then, Lee was in charge of writing pretty much all of the company's comics. So he often gave artists a rough outline and let them use their imagination to fill the pages and panels with action. Dialogue was added in afterwards according to what the artists drew.
Today, Slott follows this same technique despite the fact the industry has typically moved to an alternative "full script" method. Writers nowadays are more likely to give the artist a more detailed description of what they want in each panel, and they also write the accompanying dialogue. The Marvel Method is seen by some professionals as an exploitative practice, while Slott's process places apparently unreasonable demands on the creators who come after him.
The episode has also struck a nerve because the comic industry, like the film business and many other industries in the #MeToo era, has undergone a drastic reckoning in the past couple of years with workplace behavior ranging from unprofessional to abusive. Comic companies, like many

It's a question that has come up continuously over the years, often with different answers surrounding Claremont's departure from the X-Men. With one of the most celebrated comic book runs under his belt, what made Chris Claremont walk away from the title he put on the map? Was it due to the artists... or the editor?

We've heard comments lately that many of the original heroes, like Spider-Man, Captain America, Batman and others have run past their lifespan... that the personalities and aspects of the characters fit a different age and new readers will never accept them. In particular, Spider-Man has people wondering if every possible story has been told. Is there any truth to this?
