I don't know. I wouldn't put it past him. Makes sense, in a perverted Gordon Gecko kinda way...

Actually, this was the first thing I thought about when I heard that Mark Waid was off of FF. It was also the same time that they snuck out that Paul Jenkins was removed from Peter Parker: Spider-Man, even though they relaunched the book just for him, and hadn't even published the first issue. It all kinda hit me last week when I started thinking about what the hell EPIC was all about...Why they hell would they open up the damn and allow anybody to submit stories that felt like it?!?!?! Cheap, grateful talent, that will eventually be groomed to replace the more expensive creators they have right now. Makes sense to me, but I'm just paranoid naturally...

Anybody else?
