Comics Pete in Black with Gwen....

[ben_reilly_s_s]

Not too sure how i should've titled this thread, but I was in Barnes & Nobel today and was looking at NewType USA and behind it was a copy of CBGXtra or whatever tthe magazine is called, and on the cover it had a Preview/Review of One More Day/Brand New Day and on one side of the cover it had Pete in movie themed outfit carrying MJ and on the other side it had Pete in Black carrying Gwen.

I didnt buy the mag.... i was too scared,
Is this what's really gonna happen, is everything gonna be changed?
Is only Amz 15 gonna be the only true In-Continuity issue?????
heres a link to the cover:

For those who have enjoyed or aren't bothered with what has happened with Sins Past, Other, Totem etc, then it's just more of the same. Spider-Man comics were too difficult to keep in continuity, or continuity just hasn't been a priority anymore. Well, at least someone likes what is going on the last 8 years.

Even if I don't. I conceded long ago. It's probably us long time fans fault that all this happened anyway. We all biiiitched and moaned about the Clone Saga and we should have shut up and gone on the ride.

Maybe Ben would have been a great Spider-Man, and they could have changed those test results years later anyway and made Peter Spidey again, if they wanted too.

I think us fans and Spider-Man Comics jumped the shark when Marvel wimped out for the sake of the fans' bitccching. At least they were caring about continuity then.

Now Marvel will never play stooge again, and they will not listen to crying fan outrage, even if the fans ARE right this time.

We cried wolf and now we have officially paid the consequences with Totems, rip off regurgitation, Cocoon Eating Wolverine Spider-Man, Iron Man ***** Spider-Man, and never hooked up with Gwen but Norman somehow did Spider-Man.

I can't believe how much better the clone saga is then all of that, INCLUDING BEN BEING THE REAL DEAL.

Oh my........

Is this a taunt? It's looking more and more like some of our fears are very much being realised...

Loeb recently said in Wizard that it was a mistake to kill of Gwen as that love triangle was never achieved again, and we all know how much JQ sucks Loebs nuts.

Not to mention that it seems like JQ doesn't have much regard for ASM 121-122, (keeping Norman alive, forcing JMS to write the story that Osborn boned Gwen.)

Don't get me wrong, done right, the retcon can work very well and remove some convoluted history/very bad decisions... But going as far back as Gwendy? NOT good...

I don't know, that image looks quite old school too, was there a time where Peter was swinging in his black duds with the Stacy clone

This reeks of mistake. When it comes to Peter Parker, JQ ain't good at heading in new Spidey storylines, he loves to rehash the old times. Ultimate, always lookin' at the past in ASM...

Sorry, that's total BS. The clone saga sucked, and telling fans that the character they've been following for the last 20 years is a fake is a kick in the nuts to the long tie readership that kept Spidey alive in print. And caring about continuity? Sorry, Gobby died, that's respecting classic continuity.

If anything, I'd say the cried wolf thing was more recent. When JMS started, (and was great,) an when Paul Jenkins was at his peak, and JQ was watching the internet, all of the Spider fans *****ed about anything possible after JMS was on for a while, as well as Jenkins being on for longer.

IMO, THAT'S what lead to them trying anything possible. No one had an idea what to do, as at the time fan opinion made no sense. This lead to them all getting fed up, and just doing what the (internet,) fans hated. It worked on USM...

JQ was not in charge of Marvel when they brought Norman back from the grave.

You'll have to blame Bob Harras for that one...

 

[kguillou]

If they bring Gwen Stacy back they might as well bring Harry Back. And what the heck, bring Uncle Ben back too! If they're gonna completely reboot everything why do they still keep the same numbering. They should stop at issue #545 and reboot with amazing #1....AGAIN. Sigh sigh

Oh, I know, I just meant more in the case of that JQ continued for it to be allowed, even when he created the ultimate U for those of us who need new Pete/GG stories. He could've had 616 Osborn killed of plenty of times after he came on board.

I read an internet interview a while ago where Bendis clealry talked about how Joe Q made him realise that it was a mistake that Norman was killed, and that there were more stories to tell in their relationship.

While that may be true in some ways, I believe it shows very little creative integrety, and shows not knowing how to add to the Spidey Mytho's, rather than adding

Well have you noticed the numbering on JQ's covers to OMD are reverting to some really small numbering?

Makes you think...

 

[TheVileOne]

Damn, the blonde **** is returning.

Atleast they're still only $3.99.

 

[wolvie2020]

Woohoo!

 

[Sloth7d]

Woohoo!

I really hope those that do buy One More Day atleast choose the varient covers. Everytime I see that I want to punch stray animals.

 

[wolvie2020]

Damn, the blonde **** is returning.

She's NOT a ****, that story NEVER happened! Watching Norman's O-face Never happened to US!

At least that's the one bloody thing that'll be good about the retcon

Agreed. i have no idea what the Hell they were thinking on that one.

 

[Dark Spidey]

I'm sure I read somewhere that the new ASM writers put it to a vote and decided against bringing Gwen back.

 

[Dark Spidey]

Oops, double post!

 

[Gabbra49]

ya know whats sucks they already ruined the origin story with her, now they are bringing her back. I really dont get marvels decision here. I mean are they really trying to piss us off. IF so mission accomplished.

 

[farmernudie]

Oh yay.

Bring back everything.

And "single" (I CAN"T REMEMBER I AM MARRIED PETE) can be in love triangles with Gwen and Mr. Osborn.

Oy. My head hurts.

It seems to only get more painful, tho i had already heard the rumor in a JQ interview where he leaked that we may see Pete dating Gwen post Maximum Marriage.

Maybe we can have the spider-mobile back too..and Pete and Gwen can go disco dancing while MJ sits at home trying to remember if she has ever married anyone before or not.

What story? What face? Come now fellow veteran Spidey-fan I'm sure you're just imagining things. They can't retcon what never happened.

 

[shinlyle]

Joe Q....I hope you're happy. You've officially made it so that this book won't be accesible for older fans or newer ones. Awesome job.

I guess we may as well burn our back isue so that we can rid ourselves of all the history that you're changing....all must be forgotten....everything is new....this is nothign like Inifinite Crisis AT ALL....

I was thinking that too, talk about convoluted!

Let's just hope that it won't go too far....

 

[Blader5489]

I just have to say that I absolutely love watching you guys freak out and overreact. Entertainment at its finest.

 

[Kraven]

I think that bringing Gwen back is way too far to go. That's a lot of history gone because that story didn't happen, and that was one of the most important deaths in Spidey's history. Ridding Spidey of the marriage is bad enough (in my oppinion) but that would be way past the final straw for me. Spider-Man wouldn't even seem like the same character to me.

 

[Doc_OCK_4MUGEN]

This reminds me of a Special shown on the History Channel... Comic Book Superheroes Unmasked... Quesada talks about when he started Reading Spidey... right about the death of Gwen... where one of the subplots had the Anti-Drug message (The issues went out without the seal of approval from the comics code Authority...) He claimed that he has never done drugs and that he became a Spidey fan ever since... The last Spider-man related events have proved the opposite...
