Droping Amazing Spider-Man

[TheCorpulent1]

It... what?

 

[Kitsune]

Haha, Larsen's the best.

Yes the Far Side was hilarious.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

That's Gary Larson.

 

[moraldeficiency]

I'm surprised no one has compared OMD/BND to heroes reborn.It's almost the same thing.

Oh, people have.

 

[Egotastic]

Really? But there's no Liefeld involved...

 

[moraldeficiency]

Give it time.

 

[Egotastic]

I'd just laugh my ass off.

 

[Kitsune]

Robin Willaims should do an exercise video called "Laugh Your Ass Off"

 

[Egotastic]

Okay....

 

[moraldeficiency]

Robin Willaims should do an exercise video called "Laugh Your Ass Off"

how about just "keeping fit and wacky by doing lines"?

To me, ASM started to go down in quality by #300... the McFarlane artwork was nice, but Michelinie's stories were good at first, but died down quickly... "The Assasination Plot" storyline is when I started to see the book suffer, and Larsen's artwork on the book was waaaaaaaaaaaay to McFarlan-ish for my tastes... I love the man's ideas and the way he thinks in regards to the industry, but I just can't handle his artwork.

Beyond that, the DeMattheis/Buscema run on Spectacular is the only one that stands out in my mind in the last 20 years. (again, with a few exceptions, storywise...)

This.

Venom became a lethal protector, forever ruining the character. Oh, and he suddenly started longing for brains to eat... but settled for chocolate

Oh, and since Venom is so AWESOME!!, let's make 10 more symbiotes, and give not ONE of them a LICK of character *Carnage looks about nervously *

And then, Peter's robot parents, working for the RED SKULL...

OK, that's enough. Yeah, pretty much everything after ASM300 is complete $#-- (notable exceptions like DeMattheis Spectacular and ASM400, notwithstanding).


yeah, I agree re: Larsen's artwork... is he Byrne? is he McFarlane? is he Kirby? no, just the worst parts of all 3... plus he's the one that gave Venom the 3-foot long tongue and the incessant drooling. Great job!

Believe, Venom was the beginning of Spidey's ruination. JMS/Quesada sealed the deal.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I never had a problem with Carnage. I never got why people hate him so much. He's basically the Joker with powers.

 

[Egotastic]

Maximum Carnage (both story and video game) ruled.

Exactely. A mass murder that got superpowers. That's actually kinda original especially since he started killing long before the symbiote. He had personality, venom has personality, but the rest were just killing a trend with itself.

 

[Egotastic]

What? They were both cool.

 

[iloveclones]

Nice...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I just read the Maximum Carnage trade a few months ago. It does surprisingly hold up pretty well as a moral play.

 

[/Co/mrade]

eh, red venom is a pretty cool guy. Bat**** crazy and doesn't afraid of anything.

And whatever happened to shriek and doppleganger?

 

[Egotastic]

Carnage may or may not have killed Doppleganger, but Shriek is currently at Ravencroft receiving mental treatment, although she can seen in the background in one of the BND issues.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I wonder if the retcon freed her somehow.

I wonder what the retcon did often myself, then I try and hurt my brain with alcohol to make me forget.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

She was just in prison, so it wouldn't be a big deal. It's not like she's been dead for fifteen years...

Sorry, can't hear you over the sounds of the beer bong.

 

[Egotastic]

I think it may be that the artist just drew her in.
