I mean it'll probably be whatever the newspaper adaptation of it is. Wait, has the newspaper strip done Doc Ock and Aunt May's marriage yet?

I liked most of Superior Spider-Man and am okay with mostly liking Slott's work. That said this was one of the most boring issues of Spider-Man I've ever read. Learning to Crawl sucks.

That Gwen will obviously be ported over to 616 where she will be horrifically injured and die in Peter's arms.

Read Kindt and Rudy's MK Spider-Man tonight. As much as those last pages warmed my Spider-Man & Mary Jane-lovin' heart, I'm not sure if I think it managed to completely stick the landing but it was a fun fever-dream of a ride and Kindt writes a great Peter.

The NA Annual was amazing, both in writing and art. ASM 3 was not that good, just pushing forward Black Cat as an enemy of Spider-Man due to the stuff in Superior Spider-Man. We got some pages of the other girl bitten by the spider and it seems she was locked up by Ezekiel. I kind of like the early JMS stuff (before The Other) and I know I'm a terrible person for that; still, I can't bring myself to care for that "mistery"

I'm reading through the second grade of Scarlet Spider now, and really enjoying it, but there's one issue that ends off with "continued in Minimum Carnage!" I've already skipped past it to keep going through the trade but is Minimum Carnage worth reading? Also, once I'm done the Scarlet Spider trades what should be next if I want his continuing adventures? I see mixed reviews about New Warriors.

I gave ASM 3 issues, and I'm done. It's just not good. Doesn't feel like Spider-Man to me. I feel like my money is better spent buying back issues of Web, Spectacular, and Amazing from the 80s that I've never read.

I thought it was alright. The Black Cat stuff is pretty forced to keep her "a bad guy" but other than that it was fine. Main issue is just the pacing of the relaunch. Relaunch Amazing to much hype and then fill it out with constant flash backs and "new villains" who are just killing time till Spider-Verse starts. And I really hate the Spider-Totem stuff.

I've already skipped past it to keep going through the trade but is Minimum Carnage worth reading? New Warriors picks up from literally the last page of Scarlet Spider. The opening arc is a bit slow, as "getting the team together" arcs tend to be, but by the third or fourth issue it picks up and the last two issues (5 and 6) have been great. Minimum Carnage... eh. It's easily the worst story in the series but the ending is fairly important for Kaine's development. He uses a stinger to lobotomize Kassady which contributes further to his "I'm just a killer and a monster" angst

You're better off reading issue 12 than Minimum Carnage, issue 12's included in the trade, but the recap page is all you need and it's also possibly The Best Issue.

Yeah, Yost's two crossovers are easily the worst stories. The other one crosses over with Spock Team-Up.

Well, I'm enjoying the 1.x issues of spidey more than regular ones. Perez's art nails it for me. What's up with really trying to hammer home this black cat is evil now thing? she just wants to take out spider man even though she was aware he wasn't in control of his actions, and now she's just a petty thief, seems like a huge back step in her character. And people still hiring j Jonah??  On the plus side for marvel, ASM now feels 100% that's it's written with kids as the audience in mind. Which is cool I guess?

JJJ is supposed to be an outstanding newshound. That's why his obsession with Spiderman is pathetic, because in every other aspect he's a guy dedicated to truth but in that one single angle he's blinded. It's pretty sensible that you'd want him on your news team.

JJJ getting a pundunt position isn't strange, the fact it's not going to pay off with him eviscerating the first szeezy CEO they send in for a softball interview is the real shame.

Waterhaul posted:He was. For multiple years. Waid came on halfway roughly through BND but I think it is different working as a team of writers who take turns taking the lead versus doing it solo. I, for example, hated Waid's last story in BND which was the very last story. With Ock and everyone chasing after Mystery Goblin baby. There were some good character moments here and there but for the most part, it went on too long, the conclusion was a let down, and it felt like it was a rush job to solve a bunch of sub plots that other writers had failed to resolve earlier. It also had some of the worst loving art I've ever seen. But I think a Waid solo Spider-Man run could be different, working on his own rather than as a team. I mean we see it here in this run. I'd say Slott's BND stories were much better with a team than his solo stuff. That all being said, I thought Family Business was pretty cool but not outstanding. It's a nice Roger Stern-ish type piece with some great art. And it was nice seeing Kingpin in a more cartoonish villain role rather than a criminal empire role.

Family business was fun, exciting, dramatic, not overly adult, all with breath taking art and even got me stoked to see Pete in costume. Best spidey story in a long time. I may tweet wait tomorrow to tell him.

The original "Web Heads" who followed JMS on Amazing were Dan Slott, Zeb Wells, Bob Gale, Todd DeZago and Marc Guggenheim. They were joined by Joe Kelly, Mark Waid and Roger Stern part of the way through, then Quesada did OMIT and Slott took over full time.

There is a difference between a single writers vision and a team vision but I wouldn't expect more from Waid. The Electro story for example is straight up what he's been doing in Daredevil just a few years earlier. It's just people for the most part care less about Daredevils cast.

If you want to believe Rich Johnston, get ready for a Spider-Woman book by either Dennis Hopeless or Cullen Bunn (most likely Hopeless) and Greg Land.

Marvel seems to really want to connect Spider-Woman with the rest of the Spider titles right now, even though the characters only barely share a name.
