Making the "belt" point at his dick reminds me of the weird new 52 Justice League costumes.

ImpAtom posted:Edit: Speaking of which, did New Warriors actually resolve the Hummingbird plotline or is that just in eternal limbo now? That's probably off somewhere waiting for Yost to resolve it, unless they handle it in Spider-Verse. I'd be fine with it if they treated Secret Wars as its resolution, though. "She's going to end the world!" "The world ended and she had gently caress-all to do with it!" "...I would like to revise my earlier report in the face of new data!"

I don't know what makes me madder, that Camuncoli's on art, or that Slott seriously used the word "gumption" in an interview in loving 2015.

I think the promo image and premise is awesome, but I was also freaking out about how much I was excited for Spider-Verse and was going to give Slott another chance after botching Superior's ending.

I don't HATE the idea of Peter being a successful science-mans, but it's increasingly obvious Slott wants to write Iron Man or Batman, but likes the idea of being the longest running Spider-Man writer and is trying to do both. (Which is insane considering he CAN'T do the latter, as Bendis is nearing Claremont levels of 'has written a character/team FOREVER'. )

Kinda like the costume, but really underwhelming for "WHOLE NEW COSTUME DESIGNED BY ALEX ROSS" Amazing Spider-man continues to suck, but at least we got Silk, Spider-Gwen and Spider-verse going on. Spider-man might be good if Bendis has something on his sleeve this time instead of telling us about Miles' dad for almost a year to bide time for SW. Spider-Woman will be enjoyed by someone i'm sure.

It's Ben Urich using what resources he still has before the paper shuts down to find people in need that would otherwise be overlooked or can't be helped by the official authorities and guilting Jessica into helping.

Blockhouse posted:I have zero provlem with this premise and don't understand why other people do. I think they're annoyed because now Peter's status is not that different from Bruce Wayne, Tony Stark, on and on, when the whole point of the character to begin with was to have an everyman. They break up Peter's relationship with a model wife to "ground" him, and then decided to turn him into a playboy inventor, which seems to be doubling down on the single most problematic element of the marriage, where it's a nerd fantasy. But that's me explaining other people's take. My own is that "Amazing" has taken on the same connotations of "Uncanny" now, where ostensibly it should be something I like considering the character, but it invariably underwhelms. I've just given up Peter being in interesting books the same way I've given up on Scott Summers being in them.

Having said that, not necessarily because hiddenriverninja posted:Peter is going to come crashing down in a pile of hubris, you all know it. could be counted as "growing up," but I feel like we've seen this plot at least fifteen times with Slott, and it's not getting fresher just because Alex Ross is doing the cover. I wish Peter had stayed a teacher. Low-paying, but still giving credit to his smarts like Dan is so desperate to do, and embodying the everyman humble servant aspect Peter is supposed to be about. This doesn't look like a story. It just looks like a status quo. "Remember that time Peter was rich? Yeah, I don't either." And that's how I've felt about the main X-Men titles since Decimation too.

No, you see, Peter Parker will remain a completely static character throughout the entire plot and a hitherto unseen character will bring it all crashing down because of the Ol' Parker Luck! It's Slott we're talking about here.

I'll take Peter Parker in Japan any day over just rehashing the same stories they've been doing for the past fifty years. After Slott's first issue and Spiderverse, this has me wanting to buy Amazing Spider-Man for the first time in a long time. Just have some fun with the character. If we get monsters, robots, and a neon Spidey punching them I'm loving sold. If I wanted to read stories with MJ or the Green Goblin I'd go through my long boxes and crush myself under the weight of traditional Spider-Man stories.

If they'd bite the bullet and get Yost or Gage or Bunn to ride shotgun on Slott so you got his ideas and the occasional joke filtered through somebody who had better execution, I'd be a lot happier. As it is, Slott's track record says it'll be amazing in the hands of everyone besides him.

That sure is an Alex Ross Costume. millions of triangles all over the goddamn place. everything is a triangle now It looks okay though. I'm on board with Peter becoming a success and getting some new stuff and growth going on in his life (he's the only comic book character who's even been allowed to change this much over the years really), the premise of the new run is something I could see being a lot of fun but the problem is it's still Dan Slott so it's going to be sort of poorly executed and mostly blandly inoffensive the whole time. Good thing we have Miles' Spider-Man comic and Spider-Gwen and the Web Warriors and Venom: Spaceknight and maybe Carnage, as well as Spidey on the Uncanny Avengers and Miles on the main Avengers so there's plenty of non-Slott Spiders goin' on.

My only issue with the premise is that Slott's the one doing it. I was against the Superior Spider-Man premise at first until better writers made him fun. I was against the regression back to relatively normal Peter because of the way Slott made it happen. Spider-Verse was fun because the premise was fun and I could read other stories while Slott dorked around the main one. This new premise isn't bad on its own merits, but Slott just hasn't clicked with me yet and I'm worn down on seeing his name everywhere. It's pretty much a matter of preference, as opposed to the shenanigans of OMD which was dumb inside and out and I don't think I'll ever see how that was supposed to work.

Bendis literally only needs two more years and he'll beat Claremont for length of time on a single (occasionally relaunched/branded) title at Marvel. He's been writing Ultimate Spider-Man for fifteen years.

The sad thing is that there really aren't that many Spider-man runs that I'd call lovely, considering how many there are. The book was pretty consistently good until the early 90s, when things got messy, but even in the 90s we had some stuff worth reading. So it's tragic that one of the few awful runs is also shaping up to be the longest of all time.

After he leaves Iron Man and Guardians of the Galaxy, he should just write Spider-Man as a weekly for a couple of years, just to mess with Slott.

Still, USM did 18 issues a year for however long Bagley was on it (I think Bendis/Bagley have the longest writer/artist duo streak in comics, followed by Lee/Kirby on Fantastic Four (but that might just be a Marvel record). Maybe this will just turn into a grudge match with Slott writing Peter (or not Peter, or whatever) and Bendis writing Miles until one of them dies. (The writer's not the characters)

I'm glad I burned myself out on the 600 or so issues before his solo run started, but Agent Venom, Superior Spider-Man, and Spiderverse is a good legacy to have. If I was the editor and I had to tell Slott it was time to give up Amazing, and he blurted out "Spider-Man in Japan!" I'd just tell him when the script was due. It'll be funny until it's not, but it's a good enough joke to at least check out the first issue.

Slott deserves zero credit for Agent Venom. That idea would have been poo poo if he wrote it, and the few times he did write it, it was poo poo. It's like crediting Rob Liefeld for Deadpool.
