It was so different that other comics, it would be a great comic to draw girls in too. The art was great, everything was great. Putting O'Mally anywhere near it would be the quickest way to get me to stop caring about this hypothetical book possible. Well maybe other than Slott or Loeb writing it.

"Video Game References! - the comic" wasn't really interesting to me either. I guess some people really liked it?

Is that really all you took from that book? Something like 700 pages and all you know is it has video game references. His new book 'Seconds' is really good and has 0 videogame references. It does have the multiverse, sort of I don't know why he was suggested to write this in particular though.

For all its faults, Scott Pilgrim gave us Thomas Jane and Clifton Collins Jr. as Vegan Police. And, because I haven't seen it mentioned, I really liked the lettering style used in the Spider-Gwen issue. It mimicked the 100th Anniversary Spider-Man one-shot, but I'm too lazy to see if it was the same guy. Does a lot to help sell the alternate universe/future of Marvel idea in the same way the switch between the Ultimate and 616 style works.

Barf. Well, as long as Slott isn't writing it, maybe it'll be good but I'm not holding out hope. Edit: since BSS is bizzaro comic forum, what do the wilds of the internet say about spider-Gwen?

Spider-Gwen was average. Probably gets a huge "it's not Dan Slott" bump. It seemed predictable and void of great writing to improve on the old characters.

I love video games, comic books and alternative music. I don't know how O'Malley managed to put those things together and managed to make something I really disliked (I read all the Scott Pilgrim volumes, with the hope that at some point I'd end up liking it...I didn't)

I thought it was nice, but I had the feeling it was trying to homage something I couldn't put my finger on. Maybe it was trying to go for a sort of anime style, but beyond Spider-Man having Mega Man boots and the characters' sort of japanese-sounding last names that seemed to be it.

It kind of also had the feel of the Spider-Man comic strip what with the melodrama and romance plot. Edit: It most certainly drags but after reading Slott's Spider-Man I'm a bit more lenient. I do wish they wouldn't do some huge rear end prelude though and just get to what everyone wants. Jiro fucked around with this message at 06:54 on Sep 26, 2014 |

Surprised to see Edge of Spider-Verse getting so much praise here as I thought it was just bad. Starting out with almost five pages of just droll narration on this character? Jesus, show, don't tell.

I wouldn't immediately assume it would be bad just because Hopeless is writing her. Cable and X-Force was fun, so maybe he'll go that way.

Except his most high-profile work is the godawful Avengers Arena/Undercover, so that's what most people will think of. And that is not going to do wonders for sales, especially combined with Greg 'never met a porn face he didn't like' Land. Quite frankly I never want him to see him write characters I care about ever again.

As is with all things on Bleeding cool take this with a pile of salt, but They're saying Spider-Verse will end with Peter stuck in a another dimension and Spider-Gwen taking his place in 616 for several months. Considering right now we're getting Lady Thor, Captain Falcon, evil Moustache Stark and dead Wolverine I can see them playing around with the status quo again.

I'd be totally fine with that because let's face it: Peter Parker is the least interesting Spider-Man out there. Kaine, Miles, Otto, Jess, Ult Jess, Spider-Gwen, Anya...they're all much more fun to read about. Most of Peter's best moments of late have all come from his interacting with other heroes in various team books, stories centered around him are all played out, same old same old.

Again removing Spider-Gwen from the universe they've established completely removes 99% of the characters point and the interesting aspect of her. It's just the same as moving Miles to 616.

Her writing was basically 90% "pretty average Spider-Man" and the most interesting stuff involved her friends/family.

CharlestheHammer posted:Well it isn't shocking, didn't they just do the same thing to Spider-man 2099? Spider-Man 2099 hasn't had his own series for years, and when he did it had a fairly long run. Bringing him to the current time at least gives us some good fish out of water stuff with an established character that otherwise wouldn't have been used for anything. Neither Miles or Spider-Gwen have had series that have gone on for all that long, and Miles at least is still being used in his own series. I could see both of them in like, 5-10 years being brought to the 616 and having good runs, but it's just way too early.

And even though Spider-Man 2099 is in 616 currently, the 616 stuff he's interacting with is almost completely separate from whatever is going on in the core ASM book. Liz Allan/Alchemex and all that jazz just isn't on Peter's radar right now. So while he's away from his unique universe, he isn't bogged down by whatever is going on with Peter.

And it ties pretty well with his own stuff since he's literally working on the origins of Alchemax.
