Dacap posted:I think it's a mask that's like an image inducer kind of thing. He's not a literal shapeshifter. Well first it was masks, then it was an image inducer belt like the '90s series, then he became an actual shapeshifter somehow, then post-OMD he was back to masks and now he's a shapeshifter again. He's my favorite Spidey villain if only because, Norman aside, he's one of the only ones who seems (well seemed) intent on loving with Spider-Man on a deeply personal and emotional level as opposed to just doing villain scheme things.

Gatts posted:You know as much as I'd like it to be MJ and for her character to get respect or move on and get her own series I kinda want that chick and the real Peter to continue on for a bit. She's had a bad deal. Anna Maria is terrible and I can't think of any real personality she has. She existed (and still exists kind of) as little more than a morality crutch for Otto.

It's nice having the real Superior Foes back now instead of the two fill-ins. Also, New Warriors was great and finally basically what I wanted out of this series. Shame the sales are really bad because it finally seems like it's hit its stride. Much as I think To's a fine capes artist, Roche's bright and cartoony art works way better for the series so it's kind of a shame he's only doing issues 5 and 6.

Lobok posted: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? 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

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.

Spider-Man 2099 was surprisingly nice though I'm not a fan of Liz Allan: Evil CEO and Sliney is my least favorite regular Marvel artist that's not Land. Superior Foes was great albeit not the funniest issue in the series. Silvermane and Shocker play off of each other so well though that I don't care.

notthegoatseguy posted:I used to love Spider-Girl but DeFalco's idea of how teenagers talk really wears on you after a while. I thought the one issue done by the Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane guy was really good, though. I find that it says a lot that the best issue of the entire Spider-Girl franchise (from the original series to all the failed reboots) is the one issue written by someone else that focused on someone other than May. I mean maybe it's a case where under a different writer she'd be better but overally Spider-Girl's a mediocre to lovely series and May is just kind of a boring character that half the male characters in the series fawn over as this perfect goddess.

Superior is a lot like everything else Slott has done recently: fine idea that would've been way better if someone else was writing it. Seeing almost everyone's IQs drop to justify everything Spock consistently getting away with his poo poo (the Avengers especially were drooling retards any time they showed up) was awful.

Poor Overdrive, he just wanted to be like Hawkeye, Quicksilver and all the other Avengers and work as a petty villain so all the heroes would see he's cool and let him reform.

Wanderer posted:So the Spider-Men that Ock found dead were from "What If Spider-Man Joined the Fantastic Four," House of M, and some alternate reality where the Civil War was still going, but what was the one in the gray and black suit from? It looks familiar but I can't quite place it. Armored Spider-Man could've been either a random alternate dimension where Spidey wore that or it could've been the Armored Spider-Man from the last couple of episodes of the '90s cartoon probably.

Sp//der was the most anime poo poo ever right down to her having the window seat in class, I loved it. The cameos were amusing too. Shame she'll probably die or at least won't get an ongoing because they have Spider-Gwen already (which I didn't think was particularly great).

Castomira posted:SP//dr was one of those comics like Spider-Gwen where I enjoyed it tremendously and reread it a few times. I think the professional relationship Peni had with Anime-Daredevil was my favorite part. I would happily read a miniseries if one were released. Well minis don't really seem to exist anymore for Marvel beyond the rare one here or there. They seem to like going the "maxi-series disguised as an ongoing unless it does well" route. radlum posted:Was that the last issue? I've been dreading the end of Superior Foes for months and that seemed quite final yet I could see it going for one more issue. Next to last. Final issue is next month and has a neat cover that includes Spencer, Lieber, Rachelle Rosenberg (on a poster) and most importantly Boxcat. I have no clue how Avengers World is but I've liked Superior Foes enough that I'm willing to give Spencer a chance on Ant-Man.

2099 has been fun even with Sliney's bad art and being stuck in the present. The writing's been entertaining enough. And speaking of minis, Hobgoblin was fun. I like Kingsley reinventing himself as a super hero Malcolm Gladwell-type solely because it's an easier way to make more money.

You're talking about a medium where plenty of people, both on the creative and journalism side, think that marrying a character is bad because it takes away potential storytelling drama or ages a character making them no longer relatable to the average reader.

Yvonmukluk posted:Well who would you suggest to write the series instead, if Marvel decided tomorrow to do a new series? I'd probably go with Sean McKeever, since he actually wrote her before in a very good fill-in issue and after his work on Spider-Man loves Mary Jane among other things, he'd probably be able to juggle the superheroics and the domestics ably, while keeping the overall light tone of the series. I'd leave DeFalco and Frenz as editors a)so nobody is pressuring them to kill off her parents, and b)so they can focus on keeping continuity for their baby straight. You know, what editors are supposed to do. I can't wait until we get one page of an already dead SMLMJ Spidey while one of the Morlun Goofs makes a snarky remark about how "nobody loved him" or something to poo poo on fans of that book as well because Slott's trolling the dumb fanboys so hard and drinking their tears.
