I've never understood what was so special about Willingham. It always seemed to me that people liked him because of his Fables series and were willing to overlook that every other thing he did was pure horribleness. I never enjoyed Fables, so I never got the draw, but it appears that Willingham is only capable of writing the same original characters over and over again. "What's this? Spike? I'm too lazy to look at his actual characterization. I'll just substitute the characteristics of one of the characters I've already written. I'm sure that's how Spike actually behaves anyway, and if it isn't, then what I'm doing is better."
