Well, trust me, the dedication clearly is present in ASM 600, Dan. I think that some fans just have no respect for how much time and effort have been and still are being put in these books. The same can go for a movie, to. Also, I stayed up all night just to make sure I got 600 right away. This truly was a very fun issue, and the Spider-Mobile, Family Guy reference, etc, were all great additions. Just great job with it all, Dan. It was a long wait until July, but it was well worth it.
Also, Dan, what made you guys want to make Ock look the way he does now? I mean, hel ooks creepy/awesome as hell, but I'm just curious as to why you guys wanted to do that?
Doc Ock's new look reminded me of the scene in the Star Wars movie, when we first get to see Darth Vader's face very briefly.
I can't believe that people would complain about the length of the first story!!! My God, it was standard issue back in the day that an anniversary issue was have either one gigantic tale....or, a double size conclusion to some ongoing storyline.
BTW, loved the cheap plug in the middle of Dan's reply: "The main thing that practically all the reviewers are united on is the VALUE-- and at $4.99 for 104 pages of all-new material-- with no ads-- it's hard to argue with that. "
Ok, if you have the time, I thought I'd ask just a few more questions:
1) What's your comic collection like? And, what's your most prized one? (Mine is Amazing Fantasy #15..it's not in the best condition; but, in the mid-80's I bought it for $100.00, and it was the only comic in my first collection I refused to sell. Sadly, the person who owned it before me put tape on the outside bindings.)
2) Whatcha reading right now that you really enjoy? Do you even find you have time to read very many comics...or, do you stay pretty much focused on your own stuff?
3) What's your favorite movie of the summer so far?
4) Just as I'll buy anything by you, Brubaker, or various writers, who do you make sure you pick up, regardless of what the title is?
5) Speaking of reviews, is there a comic you put out that just got trounced?
6) Last question, besides comics, what is your other hobbies or passions?
7) Ok, last, last question....when writing, do you have to have complete silence? Or, does music inspire you? What's the famed writing room like, or can you write just about anywhere????
