Well, I've been TRYING to go back and read the BND stories, and I have to say, it's tough! Not from a continuity standpoint(I accepted the continuity was ****ed right from the get-go), but from a quality standpoint. I'm two arcs in, and I don't see how anyone kept reading. I've got the first 6-8 arcs in HC form(all for only 25 bucks!), and the first 2 storyarcs are painful.
The Spider-Mugger/Mr. negative arc was crap. McNiven's artwork was all that I could find joy in with this arc. The next, which introduced Jackpot(vomits in mouth) and Menace, was even worse, as the art was really REALLY bad. I suppose it's just not artwork for which I have a taste. I don't know.
I'm anxious to read the later arcs, as I've heard they were enjoyable, but I don't see how anyone made it past the first 6 issues! Of course, the Bachalo-drawn story may change my mind. Who knows?
I'm looking forward to issue 600, and I'm trying to get caught up on where everything stands, but I honestly hope that it picks up. That Menace arc was HORRIBLE. "Hey, I'm Menace, and I ahve no experience. I just whooped you in 5 seconds. Now I'm cool." Nope, doesn't work that way.
Also, yeah, I see why everyone was complaining about peter not having webs. That is getting old fast.
