"Eisner-Award-winning comic book writer and an Emmy-nominated writer"

That just devalued the Eisner and the Emmy in the same sentence.

More.

Let's not blame him for Heroes. The show sucked well enough without Loeb.

Leaving aside Loeb, I am happy that Marvel is going to start focusing on translating their properties to both live action AND animation. The former, especially.

Why would he be selected for anything ever? I don't get it.

You might have heard of shows like Heroes, or Lost or Smallville. Loeb has been at one point or another a producer in all of them.

Hm.

That'd do it.

Still though, he sucks. How'd he get into any of those shows? Whatever. I guess it really doesn't concern me :/
