ImpAtom posted:JMS did a lot of stupid stuff but he also did a lot of really good stuff. It was never going to last but "Peter becomes a teacher" is by far and away the most appealing 'job' Peter has ever had as a character, I think, if not from a logical perspective than just a "this makes sense for where the character will end up" perspective. Agreed. You know where his run went awry? When JR Jr left. That's when poo poo went off the rails.

Learning to Crawl is going to be such a huge loving failure. It's not sell worth a poo poo anywhere that I've seen. It's literally the book nobody asked for.

We ordered equal copies of LTC #1 as we did ASM #1 because of a massive incentive from Diamond and Marvel because they knew nobody would buy that poo poo otherwise. I sold out of ASM in 3 days. And 30 additional copies over the next week. We've sold TWO copies of LTC #1. Sadly due to the incentive we can't cut our order on #2 but with #3 we're down to 5 copies for the whole store. Not a single preorder on it. gently caress that comic.

That Gwen will obviously be ported over to 616 where she will be horrifically injured and die in Peter's arms.

TwoPair posted:Having read exactly zero of Spider-Girl or MC2 at all, maybe it was just the universe in general? I mean, the concept of reading a Marvel universe that has actually advanced in time (that isn't just a brief mini/one-storyline-glimpse into the future) is interesting to me. I read the wikipedia article on Spider-Girl and I thought the concept of Peter giving up the hero game after losing a leg was neat. It was a great concept. The execution was pretty terrible.

SirDan3k posted:That spider armor showed up in regular continuity as well, it was made out of hardened webbing derivative a worn for a single issue then Peter purposefully broke it by flexing (yes flexing) and revealed he was wearing a regular suit beneath it. That's "Here's you loving toy tie in you dicks!" in writer speak. It had little molded spiders on the knuckles. I hated that suit.

God drat it. I just remembered something gross but funny that my friend said about that book back when it came out but I'm trying to behave myself right now. But I can lead you all in that direction. "Hardened webbing-agent."

Blockhouse posted:Remember how Spider-Girl was supposed to be set in an alternate present and then thirty+ year old Arana shows up out of nowhere as a villain (hint: the reason is because DeFalco hates the character) Alternate present? Full of aged versions of dozens of Marvel characters? It was always laid out as a future from what I recall. And the second part is no legend, that was fairly well known.

Skwirl posted:I haven't read any MC2, but that's any easy case to make, just start with the idea that Peter Parker was 15 in the 60's, which he was when he was created, then 30-40 years later he's aged in normal time and has a teenage child. The book is a What If that pins directly out of the Clone Saga and heavily references it throughout it's run. The most 90's of 90's crossovers spawned the series. It was never an alternate present.

Lurdiak posted:Death of Jean DeWolff is easily one of the best Spider-man stories ever written. Although when Peter David returned to Spider-man decades later with Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-man, it was loving awful. Because they dumped a string of stupid mandated event bullshit right in his lap. He had to write around the Other, Civil War, and Back in Black. I remember reading where the book was basically being directed by his editor and he never got to really delve into the plot he has planned from the beginning.

I'm just tired of how Norman's been written since Dark Reign ended. Look at what DC is doing with Luthor right now, something interesting for the first time in 10 years. Marvel could learn from that.

I think I figured out Slott's endgame. Little Benjy, Mayday's younger brother is going to be flung back in time and become 616 Ben Parker. That's why they want him so badly. If they can destroy him, nobody teaches the "real" Peter about power & responsibility and thus destroying his history. .

Hobie was pretty great when he was doing the "tech guy" thing. He built the Hornet suit for Peter and was fixing street level hero's gear. I'm surprised he hasn't ended up in Mighty Avengers.

Knowing Slott I'm sure he'll find a way to keep his self-insert character around and coexist with Peter.
