Comics 'Retcon Bombs' FNSM#9 Discuss-

[Dangerous]

I'm quite digging this book right now, its a bit wacky and not what some people expect from a Spidey book, but I like all the parallel universe + time travelling stuff.
At least FNSM is unique to the other two core titles.
Ringo is on great form, despite his strange tendency to draw Spidey barrel bodied and w/ short legs.

So anyway, Hobby 2211's new weapons!
I can't help but assume these have been designed to clean up major recent bad ideas in Spidey continuity. What do you reckon the chances are of the Stacy twins rocking up in this arc and then tasting some retcon bombs?

How sweet would that be?
As dumb and implausible as the whole Gwen/Osborn thing was, a 'retcon bomb' would be the perfect antidote to the whole mess.
It's as if the powers that be would be acknowledging how stupid SP was and rather than devise a way of writing the twins out of status quo they could just off them in this way to kinda let you know that they know they screwed up.

Maybe the twins won't show up in this arc, (though it would be awesome if they did and got zapped as it would fix the whole SP problem) but you gotta admit Hobby's new weapon has obviously been designed by PAD to wipe some character/s out in this arc.
Fingers crossed.

i've heard mixed things about this title.
i'm giving it this arc to see if it's a keeper of not.
the whole future, time travelling thing isn't usually my thing though

Yeah, everyone is pissing all over this- but it's great to see stuff from the 2099 and 2219 universes again!! And the retcon bombs are such a good idea. Just drop them everywhere!

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Can you say "convenient plot device"? FNSM has been a disappointment ever since it was started.

 

[CConn]

They should just blame it all on Superboy's punches. Not only would it be hilarious, but 90% of Spider-Man fans wouldn't have a clue what was going on.

bwa ha ha ha ha...yes, Superboy could just punch the universe and get rid of everything fanboys have hated, it worked for DC

No kidding. I wish he'd throw some punches into the Marvel univers or drop a retcon bomb on the last 6 years of Amazing Spider-man. I like FNSM and Sensational though.

 

[warren_sparta27]

Lmao

 

[Kool-Aid]

Why are girls dressing like boys in comics now? WTF? Its stupid.

 

[AmaznSpider-Fan]

Maybe Ben Reilly will get the Jason Todd treatment and reappear because of his punches as well.

As far as this story, it has the potential to retcon whatever it wants really but if it's not used for that reason, there will be no point to this story.

If its not used to bring bk Ben Reilly there is no point to this arc?
Are u kidding, what w/ all the crap that has happened over the last 2 plus years in the SM books, there is plenty good that can be retcon'd in this arc.

It's all up to how much Quesada/JMS have been willing to admit their stuff sucks and tell PAD he can scrap some, and how much.
For me the top of the ret con to do list would be the Sins Past arc.

 

[AmaznSpider-Fan]

That's what I meant, that I hope this story was created by PAD just for that reason, to retcon crap like Sins past. If this story doesn't retcon anything, I will be severely disappointed.

The Ben Reilly comment was a little Infinite Crisis joke. I guess I could've written that post a bit clearer.

 

[Dangerous]

Ok I'm w/ ya now.

I'm sure this story has been created by PAD for the sole reason of doing some serious retconing, and I think the reveal of Hobby's new weapons in FNSM#9 is definatley something to be happy about.

It's the last shining bit of hope in Spider-man comice. Getting rid of Sin's Past is like a dream come true.

Retcon Bombs? i'm almost tempted to read FNSP... but not really. sounds cool though

Surprisingly it's not a horrible book. Ultimate and Sensational are better in my opinion but I like the way FNSP is going.

 

[ben_reilly_s_s]

Maybe Pete pulls out his bone claws, and the things hit only those, and take away all the god / mystic aspect of the books

 

[LarryLegend]

Explain this retcon bomb thing?

 

[CConn]

It completely wipes whatever it hits out of existance. If it hits a person, they never existed, and slowly fade they from everyone's memories.

Whoah! I've gotta say...I'm liking the sound of these 'retcon bombs'. They could really have some fun with this idea. Although it does seem like a cheap trick to pull. But I'm not complaining!

 

[CConn]

But remeber, so far it hasn't even been used like Dangerous is theorizing; it's purely a plot point in the arc, not a universe-changing thing. Yet, at least.

 

[MyPokerShirt]

I havnt hada chance to read the ish yet, so i wana ask-- are you sure it wasn't all said kinda tongue in cheek? if not then maybe its just going to be used to send uncle ben away again. it would erase his reappearance from aunt may and peters' memories and so make the fact he CAN'T come back to life in the 616 universe easier to take for pete and may. Oh and let May continue dating Jarvis i like that idea.

It wouldn't surprise me with the way the books are being done now. I actually have this soft spot for Friendly Neighborhood. It's not bad. May and Jarvis is kinds cool too.

 

[spideylover89]

I find this current arc kind of boring, I'm so sick of these stories that deal with old characters, whether it's bring them back temporarly or ruining their memory it just gets old. Now Sensational, that's a good spidey title.

Especially the artwork in the last issue.
