Comics Tom DeFalco on a Spider-Man book?

[Storm Shadow]

I really like Spider-Girl and since its about to be over, I hope Marvel puts Tom on a Spider-Man book.

Anybody else?

 

[imdaly]

I'd love that, but he'll be too busy writing the new Spider-Girl book

 

[OtepApe]

He has some really good story ideas, but the whole Spider-girl narration thing is really annoying. He'd have to drop that before I would read anything else by him.

It's true, before 2007 the books gonna get 'booted

 

[LarryLegend]

Tom was be a great addition.

I liked the narration. It kinda reminded me of the Marvel-of-old, when the editor's voice was always around.
However-- That was his hook on Spider-Girl, there's no reason to think he'd do that with another character.

Um, he only does that for the Spider-Girl story. Kind of a dumb grudge to hold against a writer, in my opinion. But hey...you're the one missing out on the awesomeness.

Besides Tom Defalco has written many Spidey titles over the years. If anybody remembers Mr. Defalco was the Editor In Chief of Marvel during the beginning of the Clone Saga. He also wrote many issues of Spectacular Spider-Man, Spider-Man, and even Amazing Spider-Man.

If you want to see Mr. Defalco's Spidey...dip into those back issues and support your local comic shops.

I just read Amazing Spidey 256-261(Tom DeFalco wrote those )...ASM 259 is the one where MJ reveals her past, it was simply amazing...those were easily the best ASM stories I have ever read.. I hope he gets a regular book ( besides some Spider-girl reboot )

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

I think you mean 258.

 

[gliderpilotgirl]

nope..I mean 259, 258 is the one where Spidey finds out the symbiote is living, and becomes "the Amazing Bag Man"..regardless..all those, written by Tom Defalco, were throughly awesome.

I know he has only done that for Spider-girl, I have read some of DeFalco's other work. I don't see it as a dumb grudge, I don't like that type of narration, I find it annoying. I tried reading Spider-girl and stopped for that reason.

If you find it awesome, more power to you....I don't.

Ok. But you seemed to imply that Mr. Defalco would be doing that to all of his comics.

And yes, more power to me. And less power to you.

The thing that I find weird is most Spider-girl readers think it's like the Holy Grail or something. In truth it's an average title that has some decent moments. The only thing that makes Spider-girls light brighter is the current state of Spidey titles.

If Spider-man titles were actually good these days, Spider-girl wouldn't have half the amount of rabid fan boys drooling all over it.

 

[Jeffers]

I really like Spider-Girl and since its about to be over, I hope Marvel puts Tom on a Spider-Man book.

The odds are much, much higher that Spider-Girl will be relaunched. I doubt Marvel would want Tom on a Spider-Man book and I doubt Tom would want to write Spider-Man in his current continuity.

As far as I'm concerned, the Peter Parker in Spider-Girl is the real Peter Parker.

No one thinks its the Holy Grail. It's a fun book. It's Spider-Man's daughter and it's a story that was carried on from the Clone Saga. In the regular universe titles they can't even mention a Clone Saga, Baby May, or Ben Reilly without either throwing in a joke or just briefly touching upon the subject to peak fanboy interest

Nobody said you had to like it or pleasure yourself to it on a nightly basis but you seem to hold a grudge against the book because the fans of the book talk so highly of it.

Pleasure myself on a nightly basis?

Oh I see that's 'wit', right I get you.

I don't hold a grudge against the book at all, I merely said I didn't like the narration and that's what put me off the title.

I don't mind if a book is fun or whatever, I personally just don't get it's 'greatness'. Besides it'll be gone soon enough, then we won't have anything to discuss about it.

It wasn't wit, it was a joke...one that you obviously couldn't take. Sorry.

Yes, it will be gone. But then it will come back because it's merely being rebooted. So, the "greatness" will live on. And we'll have plenty to discuss of May "Mayday" Parker, the daughter of Spider-Man.

It's ok, I accept your apology.

Fair enough, it's being rebooted. There's bound to be titles out there I don't like, I can't be expected to like everything.

Sounds entralling. You never know, if they drop that ridiculous narration then maybe I will check it out again.

 

[SpideyInATree]

Meh. I hope they don't drop the narration. I mean, who wants you reading Spider-Girl anyway?

 

[OtepApe]

Meh. I hope they don't drop the narration. I mean, who wants you reading Spider-Girl anyway?

Well obviously due to the awful sales that the title is getting, I would suggest Marvel, the fans, the writers and anyone else associated with the title.

For a book like Spider-Girl the sales aren't awful. And trust me, Mr. Defalco, wouldn't want someone like you reading his book.

 

[OtepApe]

No you're right, the sales aren't awful. The title has just neared cancellation several times in it's history.

And how would you know DeFalco wouldn't want me reading the title??? You know him? If so, do me a favor and ask him to drop the ree-dic-u-lous narration. It's really annoying y'know.

Sales aren't awful for a little book like Spider-Girl. And the keyword is "neared" cancellation. And the fans brought it back. Because that's what REAL fans of a book do.

I know Mr. Defalco from many comic con appearances. He's given me on the highest authority that posters who dislike his narration either don't get the fact that he's constantly trying to introduce new readers to Spider-Girl, and do something that isn't like every other comic book writer. And that most of the time posters who would debate this back and forth with a guy named SpideyInATree and waste their time...well, good job on flushing precious minutes of your life away.

I see, so I am not a real fan now. Fair enough.

It's hard to introduce new readers when the whole narration thing is bloody annoying. I am sure he can come up with another gimmick to seperate him from the pack. He has written some good stories in the past, this little gimmick isn't needed.

I don't mind wasting my time anyway. I am unwell at the moment, so I won't really be doing anything anyway. Your stupidy in the other thread is actually entertaining and keeping my spirits high in my time of ill health.

Ta very much

Not a real fan of Spider-Girl, obviously. Sheesh. You really must have something lodged up your butt, and it's big too.
