SalTheBard posted:Why... Why can't ASM be good? Spidey is my favorite comic book character. The comic has gone on for too long with too much old baggage from bad or badly edited writers. Ultimate proved (until Ultimatum) that the characters can still be good, if handled with some more care and given a somewhat clean slate.

On another note, is there any kind of comic in the vein of Marvel Adventures Spidey or Mary Jane Loves Spider-man that's knocking about lately? The whole Doc Ock thing mostly left me confused so I never followed that line of events and now I'm not seeing much of a reason to jump back on.

X-O posted:In 3 weeks. As for the best Spider books right now I'd rank them Oh man I wish those had continued. I kept wondering what the heck was going to happen next with Spidey and Chat and her cool owl and all that. But if you say they're essentially in the same vein, I'm going to have to check Spidey out. Edit: Know where I can buy an electronic copy? Just searching for Spidey online doesn't net me many results.

pubic works project posted:I just finished Clone Conspiracy. God drat it was AWFUL. It didn't resolve anything and it supposedly killed Doc Ock after bringing him back. Having not read the comic since the bodysnatcher stuff that last part at least would make me happy. Not because I wanted to see doc get his comeuppance but because I think he is just a boring and terrible legacy character that should have been left by the sidelines years ago.

Edge & Christian posted:Can anyone explain Norman Osborn's master plan or even general motivations in ASM? 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.

ImpAtom posted:Answer: Move everyone's villains to Squirrel Girl permanently. Then she will either beat them or turn them into unicorns, whichever comes first. Then all the other heroes can make up new and better villains that aren't mired in nostalgia or Brand New Day syndrome.

Yvonmukluk posted:Yeah...oof. Did any of the Brand New Day villains actually stick other than Overdrive? They are half the reason I stopped reading the comic, so I couldn't say. Mister Negative was around until 2015 but I'm not sure he's been in anything after that. Paper Doll appeared in like... one story and that was about it? Freak's last appearance was over 70 issues past I think. If I am forgetting someone, then good.

CharlestheHammer posted:They are bad. Yeah. As mentioned before, Norman worked in Thunderbolts , almost perfectly as just "smart and ruthless director slowly going insane" , because you knew things were going to go really badly when he finally snapped and his descent to madness while showing an exterior of calm cool was a good contrast. The reader knew he was going to break and were kept on edge as to when and what would set him off. And it was glorious when he finally did. But that was really the end of his story, which is my main problem with recurring villains over decades. It isn't just that they tend to age badly except in rare cases, keeping them on past the ends of their natural arcs means you are left with a sense of stasis. Especially when you also regress the hero and their maturity at the same time.

X-O posted:If you liked the movie go start Ultimate Spider-Man from the first issue. It's all on Marvel Unlimited. Then stop reading just before the Ultimate Clone Saga. Edit:As for the reading , if I had the money to read that other comic I would.

X-O posted:Ultimate Clone Saga is just fine. It's pretty good actually. You should read Ultimate Spider-Man all the way until the end. There's only two or at most three subpar arcs in 160+ issues. It isn't terrible, but it is the point where the comic starts screwing up. And as much as I liked the idea of the super friends nothing ever really comes of it.
