Comics All-New Amazing Spider-Man

[Will Nolte]

Good jumping on point. I highly recommend completing the Superior story. It was some terrific stuff. The ending was a tad dry but overall a very well done story.

The ending was a tad dry because it was a straight photocopy of PP:SM #75 with SpOck and Miguel replacing Ben.

edit: not saying I hated it, just calling it what it is.

That's a … unique perspective. I can see where you would get that impression, but I'd be surprised if Slott's even read that story.

I did get "the feels" when SpOck "died." Not as much as I did for poor Ben, but even if Ock comes back, I bet his memories and experiences will be wiped away, so the hero he evolved into will still be dead. Which is kind of sad.

I definitely didn't like this incarnation of Norman as much as the unstoppable force of evil he emerged as at the end of the clone-saga. He was bad all right, but he was kind of ineffective and the whole allowing him to escape at the end was just ridiculous.

I wouldn't call it a straight photocopy. Sure it has Peter reclaiming his mantle again and Goblin rigging a building with pumpkin bombs...but that's where the similarities end.

Rigging a building with pumpkin bombs seems to be an old stand-by for Norman.

I'm sure that these are illegal scans.
Also, I don't think that you are allowed to post ways to get them here.

Finished ASM#1 last night. I think as a super sized issue, I enjoyed ASM#700 more. I feel ASM#1, especially for a #1 issue could've been better...but I could see the circumstances in story.

 

[Green Goblin]

Dan Slott is the best Spider-Man writer in years.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

He's the only Spider-Man writer in years, in that he's almost had a monopoly on the flagship title.

But seriously I think he gets pumped up a lot here, while a lot of his flaws get overlooked.

Various sites have their ebbs & flows... Go to crawlspace... All they do is complain and ***** about Dan Slott's writing style... It's so negative, it's downright depressing

I like Slott, so I like the more positive reviews he gets here... But he does have his fair share of nay sayers at SHH... Imo.

 

[runawayboulder]

As far as writers go, Slott is one of the better ones at Marvel. Hickman can be polarizing with his style, Remender has seemingly fallen off the deep end and Bendis...is well, Bendis of course.

My main criticism of Slott is how much he loves Ramos as his main art guy.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

My main criticism is I'm getting tired of the goofiness (Spidey embarrases himself in public and someone takes a smart-phone video of it and it goes viral…. I'm sure I've seen this routine before). And Ramos' art style only amplifies the goofy slapstick nature of it. Once in a while it's okay, but goofy dialogue, goofy pratfalls, the villains acting goofy and thus out of character (like Mysterio playing Angry Birds)…. it just gets old. The stories don't need to be heavy like DeMatteis (although I do love him), but I just don't dig the cartoony tone of the book the last few years (although I did start to like it better when Superior took over, but now I'm afraid with Amazing #1 it's going back to the same old, same old).

 

[runawayboulder]

I can't remember the last time something publicly embarrassing happened to Peter/Spider-Man. It happened to SpOck but that served as a reason to have him viciously beat down of Jester and Screwball and show that that incarnation of Spider-Man was different.

I look at this past particular instance as being a nod to the previous times it happened of the course of history. As if to show that Peter is back and so are the good and bad moments as Spider-Man.

I like Ramos' art style.

It must be lonely on that island.

Has anyone here read Family Business? I have the chance to pick up for $8.

So I'm wondering if it's worth the purchase

 

[Nicko-Ray]

^ I hear it's solid. I don't know much but I like Waid and for $8 hardcover? I would get.

Okay. Thanks! I'll pick it up tomorrow!

Question about the omnibus. I want to get a spiderman one. Which would be better. Stan lee and Steve ditko. Or the Todd mcfarlane one. I hear both are good. I'm just torn

 

[KaineMorrison]

Ditko/Lee!!!

 

[OriginalMiles]

So... they're having somebody else bitten by the spider?

 

[Tvar10]

Ditko/Lee!!!

That's what I was leaning towards.

 

[runawayboulder]

Apparently it bit Peter then crawled off and bit someone else before it died.

 

[OriginalMiles]

That sounds really... strange.

I wonder where their gonna go with this.

 

[runawayboulder]

We'll have to wait and see I guess. Who knows, maybe the character will end up being a cool new hero.
