>>119806509Yeah there was. Story is, Gruenwald (editor of Avengers but also Captain America writer), wanted Stern (Avengers writer) to make Monica look bad as Avengers leader while giving the spotlight to Steve. The supposed reason was that Captain America sold bad at the time. Stern didn't put up with the bullshit and walked... good for him.
I love what Gruenwald contributed to the Marvel U, but he fucked this one up bad. No big deal, Stern was only the greatest Avengers writer (and period one of the best Marvel writers). His successors Macchio (big pal of Gruenwald) and Simonson (wonder why he played along?) really thrashed Monica in a ham-fisted way.
Too bad, I really liked Monica as Captain Marvel, she appeared in reprints when I grew up in my europoor country.
