: : This has nothing to do with the topic currently being discussed but does anybody know why Kevin dislikes Alex Ross? I just read an article that hinted at it and I personally can't stand Ross myself and am just curious I guess
: Ross started it. Ross publicly lashed out at Kevin for not giving as much props to Jack Kirby as he did Stan Lee in Mallrats. What Ross failed to realize is that Mallrats wasn't meant for the niche it eventually took, as it was supposed to be mainstream, ala American Pie. The average non-comics reading rube would still recognize Stan Lee, but not necessarily recognize Jack Kirby. Stan Lee will always be more well known than the King, whether one likes it or not.
