Like nearly all of Marvel's EIC right from Stan "the Man" himself, Quesada is a very polarizing figure, especially among fans, and even then he has a "more respected than liked" reputation among his defenders. Artists, writers, and professionals have different opinions but overall he's seen as a positive figure within his staff. He became EIC in one of Marvel's lowest periods after their bankruptcy in TheNineties, and he took the editor job in 2000 and his editorial decisions are credited with pulling Marvel Comics out of a slump, though they are still a shadow of the sales in the UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks through the 1980s. Even then many argue that Marvel's return to form arguably belongs more to the success of its properties being turned to successful movies (the rights of which were sold to bail it out of bankruptcy to start with and whose returns led them to attract capital to build their own massively successful studios, with which Quesada has little real involvement) bringing new readers to comics than vice-versa. As an editor, Quesada is seen as being hands-on, much like Creator/JimShooter (ironic since Quesada disagrees with many of his decisions), rather than Stan Lee (who was quite laissez-faire). Quesada also had to run Marvel at a time when it was under ownership by hands-on figures such as Isaac "Ike" Perlmutter who became CEO of Marvel Comics in 2005 who also wanted to push his own agenda which undoubtedly added to his difficulty in managing both the creative and corporate sides of the business.

* UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks: Quesada started out at Valiant in the early Nineties. Before he became a major player for Marvel, he helped introduce a modern version of Golden Age hero ComicBook/TheRay and co-created ComicBook/{{Azrael}} (who would become Batman during Knightfall) at DC.

It's safe to say he's not very popular with Marvel fans, to say the least. Possibly because of that, his successors, Axel Alonso and C.B. Cebulski have steadily walked back the majority of those changes to WinBackTheCrowd: ComicBook/JeanGrey and ComicBook/TheWasp are back (initially, Jean came back as her time-travelled teenage self, before her adult self eventually returned as well in ''ComicBook/PhoenixResurrection''), mutants in general are - with a couple of wobbles - [[ComicBook/XMen2019 now thriving]], and Peter Parker and MJ Watson are seriously dating again with hints that Peter will propose (however, and unfortunately for fans of the pairing, this was quickly undone when Zeb Wells took over, as he quickly broke them up again). However, aspects of the Ultimate Universe have been retained, Creator/BrianMichaelBendis was still prominent until he took over ''{{ComicBook/Superman}}'', and massive crossover events are still common. In other words, love him or loathe him, Quesada definitely made his mark on the Marvel Universe.

Like nearly all of Marvel's EIC right from Stan "the Man" himself, Quesada is a very polarizing figure, especially among fans, and even then he has a "more respected than liked" reputation among his defenders. Artists, writers, and professionals have different opinions but overall he's seen as a positive figure within his staff. He became EIC in one of Marvel's lowest periods after their bankruptcy in TheNineties, and he took the editor job in 2000 and his editorial decisions are credited with pulling Marvel Comics out of a slump, though they are still a shadow of the sales in the UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks through the 1980s. Even then many argue that Marvel's return to form arguably belongs more to the success of its properties being turned to successful movies (the rights of which were sold to bail it out of bankruptcy to start with and whose returns led them to attract capital to build their own massively successful studios, with which Quesada has little real involvement) bringing new readers to comics than vice-versa. As an editor, Quesada is seen as being hands-on, much like Creator/JimShooter (ironic since Quesada disagrees with many of his decisions), rather than Creator/StanLee (who was quite laissez-faire). Quesada also had to run Marvel at a time when it was under ownership by hands-on figures such as Isaac "Ike" Perlmutter who became CEO of Marvel Comics in 2005 who also wanted to push his own agenda which undoubtedly added to his difficulty in managing both the creative and corporate sides of the business.

The fact that he decided to return to artist duties for this story, more or less in his words, "putting his money where his mouth is" as he described it also makes it hard for it not to become his hair-shirt.

Like nearly all of Marvel's EIC right from Stan "the Man" himself, Quesada is a very polarizing figure, especially among fans, and even then he has a "more respected than liked" reputation among his defenders. Artists, writers, and professionals have different opinions but overall he's seen as a positive figure within his staff. He became EIC in one of Marvel's lowest periods after their bankruptcy in TheNineties, and he took the editor job in 2000 and his editorial decisions are credited with pulling Marvel Comics out of a slump, though they are still a shadow of the sales in the UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks through the 1980s. Even then many argue that Marvel's return to form arguably belongs more to the success of its properties being turned to successful movies (the rights of which were sold to bail it out of bankruptcy to start with and whose returns led them to attract capital to build their own massively successful studios, with which Quesada has little real involvement) bringing new readers to comics than vice-versa. As an editor, Quesada is seen as being hands-on, much like Creator/JimShooter (ironic since Quesada disagrees with many of his decisions), rather than Creator/StanLee (who was quite laissez-faire). Quesada also had to run Marvel at a time when it was under ownership by hands-on figures such as Isaac "Ike" Perlmutter who became CEO of Marvel Comics in 2005 who also wanted to push his own agenda.

His editorial resume include:
* The creation of three successful imprints: ''ComicBook/MarvelMAX'', ''ComicBook/UltimateMarvel'', and Marvel Knights. Ultimate Marvel in particular proved to be a runaway success, launching the career of Creator/BrianMichaelBendis in particular. Bendis is often seen as Quesada's "golden boy".

Emma Frost and so on was based on Grant Morrison's own ideas and suggestions as is the whole Scott kissing Emma on Jean's grave. Just because it happened on his watch doesn't make it his fault. And stuff dealing with OMD doesn't belong here...it belongs on its own page...And look, this guy was an editor. it's not a job that's going to make you popular to start with.
