Mr. and Mrs. Spider-Man Preview

Oh yeah, now we're talking. THIS is the kinda stuff I want to see in Spider-Man. Fans that have missed having a married Spider-Man will get a nice fix in the form of Mr. and Mrs. Spider-Man, written by Tom DeFalco, drawn by Ron Frenz, and inked by Sal Buscema. If you click the link to the preview, you'll notice a few homage scenes. There's the cover to Amazing Spider-Man #44, and the famous final panel of Amazing Spider-Man #42.

Peter and Mary Jane themselves are looking very John Romita-like, which has this Spidey fan foaming at the mouth. The Lizard looks more like he did in his earlier appearances, probably to keep with the old-school feel of the art.

It all starts on August 6th, folks. Push, shove and knock over whoever is in your way to get a copy, but make sure you're polite about it.

Polite in pushing and shoving? I hope they sell it here, I never found spinoffs or extra titles beside the major title in my country.

"Ron Frenz" is in the top of my star list artists, especially since he started following the method of "John Romita sr." in art style.

My list:
1. John Romita sr.
2. Ron Frenz
3. John Romita jr.
4. John Buscema
5. Jim Mooney (I wanted to type his nickname; but it's just not nice to type such thing especially about a dead man)
6. Sal Buscema (I didn't like it that after the story of "Death of the Sin Eater" he started drawing fuzzy wrinkles, at least they're gone now)

It is moves like this that baffle me as to the “ending” of Pete and MJ’s marriage in Amazing. Either Marvel editorial is preparing a back door “fix” to the BND, or the entire 18-month-long story line is just one big feint to the left to shake up fandom and get people talking about Spidey again.

More and more I’m beginning to think that everything will be revealed in ASM #600 (the proposed end to the BND-story). Any thoughts folks?

As far as ASM #600 goes, I don't expect a reasonable explanation of how things "fit."

I'm all for BND ending and ASM actually moving forward. The sooner this faced world ends the better.

Justice League: Doom

Watching DVDs on the computer is nice but sometimes it's better to watch them on TV. So after some thinking, I decided to get myself a new DVD player. This one is by Sony and it only set me back $40. Why didn't I get a Blu-Ray player? Because I'm not 100% sold on them. Besides, I hear the PS3 is a good Blu-Ray player as opposed to the PS2's DVD playback functionality, which was crap. When I get a PS3, I'll have Blu-Ray, so I can wait. And yet, when I bought my new DVD player, I picked up my first Blu-Ray movie. Well it came with Blu-Ray and DVD. Justice League: Doom is the latest DC Universe animated film. How prepared is Batman? Prepared to take down his own teammates, if it becomes necessary. Based off the Justice League of America: Tower of Babel story written by Mark Waid, JL: Doom explores Batman's paranoid nature. Batman has taken measures to stop each member of the Justice League should they ever go rouge or sub-come to mind control from ...

Amazing Spider-Man #573 Variant

As I've stated in the past, I'm not one for variant comic covers. The limited print run of these covers is an excuse for the comic distributors to jack up the price on something I wonder will stay under the $3 price tag. Regardless of my thoughts on variant covers and the current direction of Amazing Spider-Man, I still think the variant for Amazing # 573 is five different kinds of Awesome. Note that the all powerful, immortal Stephen Colbert is on the cover, paying homage to Amazing Fantasy #15. Not only does the cover bring a smile to my face, but I think the artwork is pretty solid and is drawn by Marvel's EiC, Joe Quesada. I may not be all that fond of the guy, but he's one heck of an artist. My only knock against the art here is that Spidey's costume looks baggy. If you don't feel like paying an absurd amount of cash for a flippin' comic book just to get this variant, having a digital version cover, or the Marvle.com logo in the right hand corner, right...
