They'll probably bring over MJ and Annie from Renew Your Vows because Annie is an Original Slott Creation Do Not Steal and he's hellbent on getting his OCs into the Spider-Man mythos no matter how much people reject them (Carlie Cooper).

I just finished the Superior Foes of Spider-Man and THAT is how you write a good comic book. Just blown away by the fact that I gave a poo poo in the end about all these yahoos. Do they pick up any of the threads they left at the end of the books? I mean I'm interested in the Shocker stuff.

Not really. I didn't like Superior Foes and didn't keep up with it, but I don't think any characters appeared in Slott's Superior or Amazing. If they have, I'm sure it was mostly ignored. The stuff that happens in that series is gonna be hard to transition to a serious book.

I'm a few weeks behind, I really enjoyed Spider-Verse (even though the end was a little "abrupt") and Renew Your Vows was good too. I would say that all the Secret Wars Spider books have been good. I haven't picked up Spider Island yet, but the first 2 issues I thought were pretty awesome.

Before all the usual Dan Slott hate gets started I just wanted to say as someone that has found most of Slott's stuff alright and not bad at all but not really so much great, which I know is sacrilege around here, I actually really loved the new book today. I like seeing a whole new direction for Peter like this. Maybe with Miles around and the other book about teenage Peter we'll finally get the chance for them to write Peter as somewhat confident and successful for a while when outside of the costume. Also another beautifully drawn book today along with Iron Man and Strange. Ok I've said my piece so you guys can get back to your Slott hate fest now.

Honestly, I enjoyed it. It was dumb and cheesy, but that's exactly what I expect out of Spider-man. The other mini stories were better/more enjoyable but I didn't think ASM was bad by any means.

So, after the success of Renew Your Vows, Marvel does the entirely logical thing...and brings in the Regent, aka the one thing from that almost everybody agrees was the absolute weakest part of the story. I mean who was actually asking for that guy to come back? Bravo, Marvel. Bravo. Still, Spider-Island was good, and the backup story did a pretty drat great clean-up of all the crap Spider-Verse dumped on Spider-Girl. I mean I'd rather Peter hadn't died in the first place, but they did what they could with it. Also they jettisoned the lazy recycling of Peter's costume!

I didn't hate ASM today. It was just standard Slott. I like that Peter is mildly competent and that he figured out Sanjay's shenanigans. On the other hand, he's kind of loving with the ID mindwipe thing since people can "connect the dots" now with his identity but I guess that's a benefit of having presumably multiple Spider-Men all over the world. I didn't really find the villains all that intriguing, and I'm a bit interested to learn how Parker Industries has quadrupled in growth.

I just had a guy throw a fit over the new ASM #1. "MARVEL SAID THE LAST SERIES WAS THE FINAL AMAZING SPIDER-MAN EVER WHAT THE gently caress." And it had been so pleasant here lately.

It's really awesome that the amazing spider man is now teaching kids that you cant be a hero unless you're a mega rich owner of a multi million dollar company. What a wonderful message to send to young people who are down on their luck and don't have the luxury of being mega awesome and mega smart all the time.

He's not a mega rich billionaire that's the whole point. He specifically talked about how his corp. is not-for-profit and that he's taking a middle manager's salary. He also talked about how Uncle Ben used to help people out even though he didn't have any money and did what he could with what he had. He's basically applying his Spiderman principles to global capitalism, which, I assume, is going to be a point of conflict going forward. Did you actually read the issue? Like I dunno how you could read the pages where he lays out the vision for Parker Industries and come away with "Peter Parker is now a bad role model".

Sounds like you should be reading Spider-Man instead of Amazing Spider-Man. This was a really fun issue. Poor mans Tony Stark is a good hook to play with for a while. Bonus points for making the Living Brain creepy.

The thing is, most kids will struggle for the rest of their lives to pay their rent while the new peter parker will have everything he wants in life, it really is as simple as that. When a kid reads the old peter parker, he thinks, "wow this guy is down on his luck, he struggles with his girlfriend, he needs to deal with an overbearing boss just like I do, but he's inspired by his family, and he's doing what he can to help his community and save his town even when the biggest newspaper shits on me day in and day out, I should be more like him!" but now, with this peter parker they will respond with " oh, of course, he's got everything and is super smart and handsome all the time and I've got nothing so there's no point in being a hero since all I have to look forward to is making my rent in time".

These kids are never going to have superpowers, but they are going to live under global capitalism and if the lessons they learn are "don't exploit 3rd world labor, executive compensation is out of control and do what you can with whatever money you have to help others" well then that's fine. Your reading is so far off base, it only makes sense if you went into thinking "I hate Dan Slott. I will now dig up evidence to prove he sucks".

I don't know who's Dan Slott, but I know who Spiderman and peter parker, and he's not someone who's successful day in, day out. Save that for a different character, or better yet, make what you're saying apply to Iron Man. Living under global capitalism means that you're going to have to learn that there's a good chance you'll end up being ground to dirt, Peter Parker was one of those people, but for a different era, maybe they could've changed his job or whatever but kept his overall social status so that's he's not a supremely unattainable persona to most people, you haven't just changed how much money he has, you've changed who he is, and a steely silicon valley business man who says fancy words but lives like a baller is not the reason why so many people liked spider man/peter parker to begin with.

The fact of the matter is that Peter Parker in the 616 hasn't been the "everyman hero" for a while now, and there have been a lot of contortions to attempt to keep him in that role for a while that haven't entirely been successful. He's been an Avenger for more than a decade, and one of the biggest plot holes in the canon for decades has been that Peter could've been a millionaire whenever he wanted by patenting the web fluid. You might as well take the internationally-known, A-list super-hero and have him apply his convictions to benevolent multi-national capitalism for a while, since that's at least a fresh direction. If you really need a ground-level, every-man superhero with webs, there's the flashback Spidey book, or you could switch over to Bendis's book with Miles. I'd be more excited to see where this plot's going if it wasn't Slott, but it's a pretty fresh take. More importantly, it almost seems to preclude a reset button. I saw a guy's blog earlier where he was salty about Peter learning to speak conversational Mandarin with a few lessons in his spare time, and I thought that was a relatively facile complaint until I read this one.
