Wanderer posted:I just noticed from the CBR preview that Hannah Blumenreich has a story in this week's issue of ASM, which is pretty rad. That's awesome! I love her Spider-Man stories. It's just a shame it's hitched to a bunch of other stuff that's probably not going to be worth the price of admission.

Spider-Man is that super hero that tells you stupid jokes, while holding your car up, as you replace a flat tire. Spider-Man is that super hero that sees you bombing on a date, and swoops in to tell the girl about how you totally saved him from the Scorpion. Spider-Man is that super hero that asks you if you're going to finish those fries.

Open Marriage Night posted:Spider-Man is that super hero that tells you stupid jokes, while holding your car up, as you replace a flat tire. Uh, actually Spider-Man is the super hero that is mega rich and owns a multi national corporation. Spider-Man is the super hero that sold his marriage to the devil. Spider-Man is the super hero who may actually be a super villain who has stolen the body of Spider-Man and is using it to jerk off to his memories of loving a super model.

Can anyone explain Norman Osborn's master plan or even general motivations in ASM? 1) Norman Osborn was outed as the Green Goblin and a super criminal, so he goes into hiding. 2) Because he is a super criminal, he needs to take on a new identity so no one suspects he is a super criminal while he's running drugs and weapons in a criminal enterprise. 3) In order to keep anyone from knowing he's the Green Goblin, one of the main things he is smuggling as an anonymous criminal is Goblin Bombs. 4) Further, to keep a low profile while he's illegally selling Goblin Bombs to people, the identities he steals are those of other infamous criminals. 5) Oh yeah also even though he has all sorts of super advanced technology and has personally used holograms before and frequently employs a technology/power based master of disguise, he goes through agonizing Face Off plastic surgery every time he wants to swap identities.

'Yeah, remember when Aunt May died in ASM #400, one of the most touching stories in the character's history? lol j/k it was just a genetically-modified actress'. It took until the JMS run for anyone to do anything actually good with her (ie have her dealing with Peter's secret identity), and then OMD rendered the whole thing moot.

JMS was often accused of neglecting Peter's wider supporting cast, but he probably wrote the best Mary Jane and Aunt May since... anyone, really. It made the stupid retcon seem like it was worth it. And then OMD threw all that into the dumpster. Like can anyone name a story where they thought Aunt May was interesting that was published since OMD?

Nobody bothering to write the faceoff between Peter and Jonah makes a lot more sense in retrospect since everyone knew that genie was going back in its bottle in like 6 months' time. Man, I wish they hadn't done that. Public Spider-man would've made for a lot of great storytelling opportunities.

Oh wait, you mean in an actual Spider-Man book, don't' you? Um...well... I'll get back to you.

It was PAD who wrote Jonah and Peter's face off. It happened in Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-man. They hop into a boxing ring and Peter let's Jonah physically wail on him. While they verbally rip into each other.

It also is a callback to a very early issue of Amazing when Pete and Flash were still in high school and one of the teachers had them try to settle their differences in the gym's boxing ring. Which sounds horrifically sadistic if the teacher knew anything about the jock/nerd bully/victim relationship the two of them had.

Kraven the Hunter had a good story in Scarlet Spider but that's about it. Edit: Also Squirrel Girl but that is cheating.

I actually don't like Kraven in Squirrel Girl to the point that he almost breaks the book for me Like in a vacuum he's fine but they went from crazy suicidal undead guy who murdered his wife and kid to Kra-Van with zero stops in between

If every single one of Spider-man's 60s villains just mysteriously died and never came back I would be a happy reader. Osborn especially. Except Rhino. You better not kill Rhino now that he's been in Squirrel Girl.
