He must be one of programmers which EA have been genetically altering for extended "crunch times".

This just has "celebrity endorsement" written all over it.

I'm not saying these guys won't contribute something valuable, but I'm much more interested in whether the core gameplay will be fun. The plot is secondary, for me personally.

To be honest, I don't know these guys and I've been reading comics since I was 4.

What's the point of getting Marvel artists to design your characters when the concept of the game was suppossed to be Marvel vs EA not Marvel vs Marvel?

Millar rocks indeed, but I for one could not care less for the backstories of fighting game characters.
