Christ, the reason I'm actually (VERY CAUTIOUSLY) optimistic for a change is because they are ignoring 90% of this piece of garbage decade!
With iron spider and twins and totems and organic webs and god knows what the crap else, why wouldn't you be crying tears of joy he's back under the mask and with the gadgets!
Aside from Harry being alive and a minor detail or two, I could almost read Brand New Day directly after MJ walked away in the 2000 Annual!
Lol, you must not have been listening to Joephisto then. They aren't ignoring the past decade, it all still happened ("Book of Ezekiel", "Sins Past", "The Other") just select tidbits (webshooters, unmasking, Harry) have been altered for whatever reason. Remember: "It's magic, it doesn't need to be explained."
