Paul -- I have a question for you; why post so much here, and almost never in the JB forum?

My posts would then turn out to be redundant (more than they usually would be) & I'm not USUALLY the "me too" or "ditto" type o' person...if you catch my drift.

We have seen, in the past few decades, a lot of what I call "shoehorn stories", where the character is "shoehorned" into a story the writer wants to tell. First time I was really aware of it was the She-Hulk graphic novel that came out around the time I was starting work on SENSATIONAL. The story had nothing to do with what Jen was all about, and turned Wyatt Wingfoot completely inside out to boot.

A classic case of the character supporting the story, rather than the story supporting the character. Since then, alas, this has become almost standard practice.

Should I be honored that your very first post here is a question directed at me? Should I be at all surprised that a dweeb like Necro jumps at the chance to throw forth his own Bizarro World theory in answer to the question? Rhetoric, way the by.

Anywho, not that you're aware since your so new to the proceedings (yet oddly cognizant of my posting practices...so to speak), but I've answered this very question before (much to the dissatisfaction of a few Detractors).

I'm a daily visitor at the JBF (No, really?) and the vast majority of the time, what I would usually intend to say has already been said by someone else (for good or ill). My posts would then turn out to be redundant (more than they usually would be) & I'm not USUALLY the "me too" or "ditto" type o' person...if you catch my drift.

As to why I post here so much, I guess you can look at it (aside from with the usual sneer provided by a few Detractors) as a place that I pass through on my Internet travels & when I hear something being said that I feel like responding/reacting to, I do (exactly as I do in real life, although in the real world, those I interact with are certainly less confrontational in their attitudes...don't know why, but I'm sure Necro can some up with something creative...unlike his last post...YAWN!)

Really? While starting work on Sensational She-Hulk, Byrne became concerned about someone else shoehorning the character into the story they wanted to tell?

Has he even read his version of She-Hulk?

the *very* few times I posted here, in the last three years since I registered seem to have disappeared. That, coupled with the ever preset password problem I seem to have here makes it difficult to be anything more than a lurker...

The reason why I ask is that I too have posted there although less & less due to the nonsense that seems to thrive over there. No hidden agenda.
