Read This Blog!

I've made it no secret that I despise One More Day and it's successor, Brand New Day. If you're on the side of the camp that believes Marvel screwed the pooch on Spider-Man, then you should check out Killer Writer's MySpace blog. Regardless of your thoughts on fan fiction, I think you'll be pretty impressed with what he's doing here. He begins the story in Amazing Spider-Man #545 and rather than urinate all over everything and eff things up the way Marvel has, he actually moves forward, and by forward, I actually mean forward, not backwards like Joe Q. Peter and MJ are still married and written in character, which is reason enough to read it but he also weaves a lot of interesting plot threads.

In all honesty, Killer Writer's work is a lot more creative than anything currently going on in the pages of ASM (which is a pitiful attempt to recall the glory days at best.) He's even got a story going that involves Norman Osborn and his green alter ego.

I've exchanged some back and forth messages with the guy on MySpace. Not only is he a good writer, he's downright funny. So check out his page and enjoy.

Thanks, Bob! I always enjoy reading your blog and your opinions on Marvel Adventures Spider-Man, which is now one of my fav comics.

That was a better way to conclude things! And unlike the actual end of OMD, it has me eager to see what's coming next.

Back to Red & Blue

You gotta love Spider-Man's black costume. Its simple, sleek design has been a fan favorite for more than 20 years. It looks just as cool in the cartoons as well. As sweet a costume as it is, I'm always happy to see the web-head return to the classic red & blue tights, which is what he does in the Spectacular Spider-Man episode "Intervention." This episode moves at a slower pace than others but considering the heart of it is Peter's inner conflict with the symbiote, I think moving slower was the right choice here. This episode was written by Greg Weisman, the show's producer. He hasn't written an episode since "Survival of the Fittest," the series premier episode, so it really was a pleasure to see him return to the writing helm. The good news is that aunt May, despite suffering from a heart attack in the previous episode is doing fine. The bad news is, the bill is pretty huge and this puts Peter in a foul mood. Mary Jane, Gwen and Liz all tr...

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 ...

OMIT Part 1 Reactions

22 years ago, Peter Parker married Mary Jane Watson in Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21. Many fans rejoiced. But not everyone was filled with glee. A man by the name of Joe Quesada thought that Spider-Man had fallen off track when he had gotten married and therefore, was not a character fans could relate to anymore. Even before Joe became the editor in chief of Marvel Comics, he had made known his disdain for the Spider-Marriage. In 2007, Joey Q had finally set out to end what kept him awake at night (I'm not making this up, he seriously lost sleep due to the marriage of fictional characters) and ended Peter and MJ's wedding in the four part story called One More Day. OMD is widely regarded as one of the worst Spider-Man stories ever printed, if not the worst. Calling it an abomination sin would be a grave understatement. What's worse is that OMD led into Brand New Day and while there are fans that say BND is the best Spidey has been in years, you've also got fans that v...
