Austen seems to do fine when he has one book per month with editors that actually edit.

It's when he's spread over 7 books with one set of editors that the plots seem to get stretched out to ridicule and have glaring continuity errors.

I don't think that all the hatred people have for him is right.

Marvel tended to use him as a go-to man at short notice for lots of books (Captain America, Eden's Trail, Exiles) as well as giving him 18 issues per year of Uncanny, and arcs on Avengers, War Machine v2.0, The Eternals. Plus his Superman:Metropolis maxi series for DC.

It's now looking like he'll be off X-Men from #170, and will just be writing his 2 titles for DC.
