Robert Scott's comments on overshipping and overprinting are part of a larger debate, but he's completely out of line with these hyperbolic statements about Daredevil's creative and shipping situation:

[Robert Scott wrote:]  'Here the under-appreciation falls squarely on the shoulders of Quesada and his inability to ship both Smith's and Bendis' Daredevil runs according to it's solicited schedule. Late books, fill-in artists and storyarcs upset readers and sent them away in droves. Many of thosereaders have yet to come to forgive and start reading the title again. Conversely, retailers who didn't reduce orders based on the erroneous belief that Smith and Bendis fans would wait for these MIA books, ate copy upon copy.'

Since Brian Bendis and Alex Maleev came on the book, we have shipped every issue on time, to critical acclaim. And while the issues immediately previous occasionally shipped a week or two late, the fact is that we published fifteen issues of Daredevil in 2001 on a regular schedule, and one per month so far in 2002. There have been no 'fill-in artists' and there has never been a 'fill-in...story arc' on the title. Scott owes the talented, hard-working Daredevil creative team a full apology.
