This is a long interview but valuable to Valiant fans because of Priest's positive interactions with Jim Shooter at Marvel, and his problems in the making of Q2 at VEI and with MD Bright are very interesting. And there are those who would have us believe Jim Shooter was a monster?

"Yeah, Len Wein actually had the assignment for X-Men and the legend is – I wasn’t there – but the legend is that he said “Eh, this is never going to sell” and he walked off of it and this lowly assistant editor, Chris Claremont, went ”I’ll do it” and whoosh!"
