Spidey Super Score!

I was in Circuit City yesterday, killing time before my bus arrived so I could go home. Browsing the computer software section, I noticed they had a few copies of the Fantastic Four & Silver Surfer: The Complete Collection. I figured, if they had some of those, they may have the Amazing Spider-Man: The Complete Collection. Sure enough, they had one copy left and I'm proud to say I am the now the owner of said last copy.

The box isn't nearly as big as I thought it would be. In fact the thing is roughly the size of a DVD case. On top of that, it's pretty light. But really, the thing could be the weight of a toothpick and I wouldn't care. One of my most coveted Spidey collections is finally mine!! Now I can read "Where Cometh the Commuter," "Nothing Can Stop the Juggernaut" and I can see for myself how bad the '98 reboot really was. So yeah, I'll be talking about the issues I read that I've never read before as I go along.

MWAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAAH!!! (about reading the '98 reboot)

I think the main good thing you'll get to read in there is the Green Goblin story around issue #25.

I was just thinking of that story, Tommy. Did Jenkins do some or all of that issue?

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 ...

Marvel Wants to Hear From YOU!

In the letter page of Amazing Spider-Man #565, Spidey editor Steve Wacker filled the page with nothing but negative letters from readers that hate Brand New Day. Who says Marvel doesn't listen to the fans? And what's more, Mr. Wacker has even asked us to write in and tell them how we feel. Can you believe that? It takes class to run nothing but angry letters and a couple of those to the right are pretty nasty. My mother actually suggested I write to the editor and state my feelings on the molestation of Spider-Man in ASM. I'd been meaning to write them, but I just never sat down to do so. With the editor of the Spidey books kindly saying that the letter's page is "the place to vent," I think the time has finally come for me to express myself. I don't know if it will get printed since I've stopped reading ASM, but if they take my letter and many others that are outraged by BND to heart, then that's all that matters. Dear ASM Staff, Do you know what ...
