Comics What is Marvel thinking?!

[SuperFerret]

Frankly, Pete and MJ should be married again, and it would be okay, because wealthy scientist CEO and supermodel actress is a combination that works.

And she was his next door neighbor.

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Otherwise, they are stuck with these redundant publicity stunts.

Which is why i stopped giving them my money YEARS ago.

I am tired of the on and off again MJ and Peter relationship now. It feel like a bad version of Ross and Rachel from Friends lol.

What on and off again relationship? They haven't been a couple since One More Day.

 

[Doc Ock]

I think there might a little bit too much overreacting going on here in certain areas, I for one will be picking up the series before judging it. I will say I will be sad to see that the Peter/MJ marriage isn't going to stay.

 

[CTFFFan]

Early yet but I am not liking the direction Marvel is going of late. Get rid of the FF (see my screen name for what I think about that), Falcon is now Captain America. Captain America is now old enough for Social Security (and now also looks it), Thor is female. Pre Secret Wars, I bought Spiderman, FF, two AVengers books, New Avengers, Captain America and the Hulk. Now I think I'll just get Spiderman and that's it.

 

[Ultra-Spidey]

I agree, Marvel has been doing some awful writing with handling Spidey. Apparently now Deadpool wore the symbiote first before Spidey did and was the cause of driving it crazy?!?! :/
What else will get retconned in Spidey's universe?!
After the Clone Saga (which I collected the entire series when I was a kid), I stopped collecting Spider Man comics and have been very disgusted with how Marvel has written the character and his stories.
The Other, with the whole Spider-totem origin, the unmasking in Civil War followed by the retcon with One More Day, ushering in the "new status quo" for Spidey, has made me wonder if Marvel even cares about the character anymore. Oh and let's not forget the story where Norman gets Gwen Stacey pregnant?! WTF?!?! Everything that they write for him has to be this huge controversial change. And coming up we get to see Spidey doing his best Tony Stark impression and more books centered around Spidey back to being in high school, uh isn't that what the Ultimate books were for?
Marvel is messing with the character sooo much, they have to go back and retcon everything to the point where they want to start all over and fresh from scratch.
Although Civil War was great as a whole, Spidey's unmasking created even more problems for creative writing of the character.
I'm absolutely done and don't care at all for Spider Man as far as the comics are concerned. With every new retcon and rewrite, I just laugh at how ridiculous Marvel has handled Spider Man. I am at a lose of words at what has become of Marvel's flagship character.

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

Marvel doesn't give a s**t about Peter Parker and Spider-Man and his history and continuity... hence I don't give a s**t about Marvel and the entire Spider-Man universe any longer... and I HAVEN'T for YEARS now...

the entire group of people behind Spidey have GOT to go, be it Joe Quesadilla, Dan Slott and/or whoever the hell else is behind the 'don't-give-a-s**t' attitudes that seems to pervade the world of the Spidey comic... the pretentious bastards...

 

[Webhead2006]

Personally I dont have alot if hate on current spidey take. Now sure I did not like the gwen norman thing or the totem stuff and way mj marriage endes. But not everything been bad. There has been some good stories and characters done in last few yrs.

Haha... your post is one fat contradiction...

EVERY story you list as "sucking donkey balls" is during the marriage, yet you hated One More Day... you'd think when that happened, you would have hoped for better stories... which is what happened... hahaha

Cheers.

 

[Donald Thomas]

Wait, so people complained when Marvel wouldn't let Peter grow, and use his intelligence to have a successful career, and now they're complaining because they are?

Aloha,
Exactly what i was thinking. Here's the thing. The teenager who was smart enough to invent boh webbing and the web shooters SHOULD be able to figure out a way to make a decent living for himself after all of this time. Spidey tried way back in issues #18 to sell his web formula but because it dissolved over time, the people that he approached were not interested. In today's world, he could sell this formula to construction companies, medical supply companies and others.When the FF lost their money, Mr. Fantastic came up with all kinds of inventions to regain their finances. Now at some point, I expect Peter's high life world to crash and burn. He's lived the high life before only to have it fade away.
Spidey rules

For me, the marriage was the best part of all those stories. it's very much a your miles may vary situation.

How is my post a contradiction? Not once did I mention I stopped caring for Spidey because the marriage was retconned, although it IS just one of a number of reasons. And I never make mention that a married Spidey necessarily made for better story telling, the only thing I implied was that since the Clone Saga, Spiderman comics rely on gimmicks of having these "huge catastrophic events" to try and keep the character interesting. Why does Marvel have to resort to changing the origin or retconning "historical events" of such an established character to keep him interesting or appealing?
Marvel screwed and screwed with the character sooo much, that they pretty much just said, the hell with this, let's retcon everything and just start all over. And I would like to know of these "better stories" that you mention. Are any of them good enough to be considered classics or are well liked among a number of Spiderman fans? Off the top of my head I can't name any.
Peter hasn't been a "loner" since his HS years and at his essence, his character has never been a ladies man, so his character eventually maturing and getting married down the line only seems natural. For the marriage to be retconned AND for such a silly reason, both story wise (Mephisto wanted their marriage smh) and for the purposes of Marvel feeling the marriage made Peter feel too old, was just an lame excuse. Honestly with OMD, I believe that was the most viable way to go to clean up the utter mess that Spidey was in after CW, (the unmasking and Aunt May on the verge of dying, again) but Spidey comics have continued to tell horrible stories since then, and even further back.
Now and for quite some time now, Spiderman has been a shell of what his character is and is suppose to be. So much so that Miles Morales seems like he is a more popular and interesting Spiderman than Peter, the one and only Spiderman himself :/
Not hating on Miles, actually one of the few things that I found interesting about the Clone Saga was Ben (the "other" Spiderman) but at the end of the day Peter IS Spiderman, and what a shame at what he has become
Next time you may want to read posts more carefully my friend

a new point issue launching with the relaunch:
http://comicbook.com/2015/08/17/exclusive-the-santerians-return-in-amazing-spider-man-1-1/

EXCLUSIVE: Marvel Announces Amazing Spider-Man #1.1 by Agent Carter's Jose Molina and Simone Bianchi Andrew Steinbeiser
- 08/18/2015

The dead will rise in this November’s Amazing Spider-Man #1.1…but they’re not the only ones.
As Spider-Man struggles to stop a horde of undead walkers, who have inexplicably risen to plague Harlem, he’ll find unlikely allies in The Santerians, a vigilante supergroup not seen in nearly 10 years.
The Santerians first appeared in Daredevil: Father, a miniseries written and illustrated by Marvel’s now-Chief Creative Officer, Joe Quesada. The Santerians were a team super-powered vigilantes with, with hot heads to boot. As the events of Daredevil: Father recall, the Santerians don’t play very nicely with other vigilantes, and are as quick to pick fights with heroes over turf as they are to aid them. Maybe that’s why they haven’t appeared since Father wrapped in 2006.
But where the Santerians may really challenge Peter Parker, according to series writer Jose Molina--who also pens Marvel's Agent Carter--are on his notions of faith and the afterlife. As ugly as the confrontation may get, acclaimed artist Simone Bianchi will surely make it beautiful.
"When Nick approached me about re-launching the Santerians, I instantly sparked to the idea, and a story immediately suggested itself. By their very nature, the Santerians are attached to issues of religion and faith. I wanted to have them bring questions of faith into Spider-Man’s world and force him to grapple with ideas he hasn’t often wrestled with in the books," Molina exclusively told ComicBook.com "Peter Parker is a scientist by nature, but what if he finds that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in his philosophy? And, given that we’re talking about Spidey, I wanted to approach these notions with a sense of humor and wonder. Thus: the undead. Not zombies, just… not alive and not dead. We’re gonna get a little cosmic on this one, and the Santerians give us a connection to otherworldy matters that I just couldn’t resist."
You can checkout the full solicit text below, and see Bianchi's full cover in the gallery.

[Themanofbat]

^^^^ that art is terrible... ugh...

 

[Webhead2006]

i dont think that art is to bad, the way the chest spider does look bad there. But SIMONE BIANCHI is usually pretty solid with art, unless that cover isnt bianchi but the variant cover artist.

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

EVERYTHING about it reeks of SUCK SUCK SUCK... this just ain't Spider-Man AT ALL... it reeks of giving up this piece of s**t to any dumbass who'll read it and thinks it's the s**t... and they're RIGHT... it IS s**t... the kind that you squat out... jesus, it just gets worse and worse...

 

[Spider-Aziz]

^^^^ that art is terrible... ugh...

Looks ok.

 

[Supa]

I really don't get this .1 trend either. What's the point? What reason is there to go from issue 1.1 to 1.2 as opposed to issue 1 to issue 2?

 

[Webhead2006]

its just another way to get more money from us, but ya i dont think the art is bad at all besides how huge the artist drew the chest spider.

 

[Will Nolte]

The chest spider is supposed to be that big...that is what sucks so much about the costume...well one of the things that suck about it...

 

[Webhead2006]

It isn't that big in other covers and artists.

 

[Vampfox]

I'm glad that I stopped reading after One More Day.

This just isn't Spider-Man anymore.

thank you... at last, someone with some clarity...
