Comics Steve Wacker asks the fans what they want...Already?!

It's funnier still how you think your letter is going to make more of a difference than the $12 a month I'm giving them.

The book is nine bucks a month. That extra 3 you're giving them would be better spent wiping your bum.

 

[iloveclones]

Dude, I could be sending them 20 cents. It still counts for more. But knock yourself out.

 

[Doc Destruction]

What's REALLY funny is that you are giving them $12 for sub-par books!

Well the numbers are dropping, and they still ask what it's going to take.

They're fantastic. Sorry you have no taste.

 

[Doc Destruction]

Yes, that must be it. Good argument.

 

[iloveclones]

Thanks. It had a great jumping off point.

Well, I finally wrote one out and sent it. It'd be nice if it saw print...and I think I handled it well:

Dr. Spider-Team,

First off, I'd like to say that I'm a fan of each and every one of you. You guys are easily my favorite professionals in the business! With that being said, I'm not fan of Brand New Day. Even if I could get the ever-so-bitter taste of One More Day out of my mind, I still wouldn't care much for it.

I tried the book out, read it in the store, fully expecting my favorite professionals to pull me back against all odds, and it just didn't happen. I cannot relate to this new Peter Parker, who comes across as an immature child at times. Ultimate Spider-Man behaves more like a grown man, and he's fifteen. Also, the whole series, despite having a new supporting cast and villians, feels all a bit rehashed to me. It all feels like we've "been here, and done that".

Lastly, I find the new status quo to be more too distrurbing, as it basically buts a cap on how far any of Peter's future relationships will go. We all know that he will never get married again, and, if he does, something will undo it. I was a fan of the marriage, but I was also willing to contiue reading if it's dissolution was handled in a decent way....which it wasn't.

Honestly, I just want the marriage back, and I'd love to see the talent dedicated to "One More Day" placed on a married Spider-Man to show us how it can be done.

Thank you for your time!

I think that's reasonable, Shin. I disagree with all of it, but it's polite and to the point.

At least it's not JSA...

 

[Doc Destruction]

Which is FAR superior. You're right.

 

[Doc Destruction]

Thanks. It had a great jumping off point.

Was that the point where you patronized someone who doesn't like the same thing you do?

Oh yeah, GREAT starting point.

 

[Themanofbat]

Shut Up! Shut Up! SHUT UP!!!!!!!

And that goes to everybody!!!

 

[shinlyle]

Thanks, man! That's the nicest disagreement I've ever recieved!

 

[Blader5489]

Not anymore. Hopefully one days Johns will come to his senses and stop being so crossover-happy.

 

[Doc Destruction]

Well to each their own, I guess. I'll take super heroics over man-child dating adventures anyday.

 

[shinlyle]

Invincible owns them all.

You love BND which is a massive regression on Spider-Man going back 30 some years, and you've got yourself that Anne Frank avatar. Someone's living in the past.

That's a picture of his beloved grand-mother who recently passed away, you insensitive clod...

Only insensitive if I knew that. I never imagined someone would do such a thing for an avatar on a message board about comic book movies. If I knew better I wouldn't have said that.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

It doesn't even look like Anne Frank....

 

[Doc Destruction]

Is that what the avatar is? Pretty cool.

 

[iloveclones]

Yeah, I don't make a big deal out of it, so no worries Miken. It's not like I'm in mourning or anything, but I just liked seeing her face every day.

 

[iloveclones]

And thanks, Doc and TMOB.

 

[Miken Ayers]

Again my bad. If I knew I wouldn't have said that. Calling it Anne Frank was an obscure Clerks 2 reference where Randal calls Helen Keller Anne Frank mistakingly throughout the movie. The picture looked like some old photograph I saw of some other famous person, so I was trying to play dumb like Randal.

As I was typing this I remembered the name Jenny Lind, and for some reason thought that's who was in the avatar. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenny_Lind
