I had plotted AVENGERS #287 and #288, and was working on a plot for #289 (my version of which exists only in outline form, buried somewhere in my files) when I was fired.
It’s been some time since I skim-read what became the Heavy Metal arc (not my name for it), but as I recall, the issues were scripted so as to make Captain Marvel look less and less competent. That’s not the way it was intended in the plot. Also, some scenes appeared to have been drawn differently than I had plotted them … I don’t know who was responsible for that.
At any rate, AVENGERS #287-288 are, at most, loosely based on my plots. I cannot in good conscience claim those issues as my work.
And I had nothing at all to do with the rest of that arc.
That was a complete departure. I had planned for Druid to fill the role that Hawkeye once had so well, as the team’s resident pain-in-the-@$$ … though of a very different sort, of course. The closest equivalent would have been Doctor Charles Emerson Winchester on the later seasons of M.A.S.H.
I had very different plans for Nebula, too.
