I am usually a big fan of Paolo Rivera's work but that Superior Teamup #2 cover is not doing it for me; both SpOck and Kaine look completely static, not like they are in motion at all and the...

Played it some more last nite; pretty cool for it's era though my thumbs are getting achy all over again! Long shot but does anyone know why the "cheat code" I have tried to enter for Level Select...
Yeah, Jack was in it; it had Ock, Rhino, Lizard, SPider Slayer, Mysterio, Owl, Hydro Man and others I am not recalling. THere was a level "cheat code" I found online that is not working for some...
Oh, I agree; it's in my Top 5 favorite titles at the moment. Nothing about it from a writing standpoint is complex but, then again, it is brilliant in it's characterizations and keeps it very...
Might be '95 but does anyone remember this SNES Game? It was by LJN who admittedly made some crappy games in general and crappy Spidey games specifically but this one was pretty decent. Believe it...
Huh?? How could that be?? Why, there is at least 1 ---and perhaps as many as 2--- fans on these boards with irrefutable proof that there are stacks and stacks of unsold issues of Superior and even...
I am not a huge fan of Fraction (disliked his X-Men) but just yesterday downloaded his Iron Man #7 for free from Marvel and really enjoyed it! (A Civil War-era issue guest starring Spidey). I...
That's good news on both fronts, Lars! :smile:
Yes, I am using Comixology and the Marvel App more and more these days; at least here in the USA, there have been some pretty compelling sales where...
Well, I might have to give it a look then; I loved the series when Joe Kelly was at the helm but it really suffered IMO with Daniel Way at the helm for so long. Thanks for the tip, man!
Well, I am certainly not suggesting you let Spidey "go"; he is my all-time favorite and I have suffered through some runs that I did not particularly care for (Mackie's late-1990's run was just...
They sure are! Y'know, growing up I just wanted to keep my collections going and so when some titles got boring or I disliked the direction, I kept on collecting for the sake of an unbroken...
Well, I have to say that, for all the lead time Marvel clearly had to de-age Peter, they should have found a much better way to do it. I happened to love the vast majority of what we have gotten...
I hear you, man. And, btw, I am right there with you on X-Men; I am enjoying the hell out of All-New X-Men right now after almost a decade of being away from all things X (with the exception of...
Well said, Lars; I have long been mystified at the amount of complaining some (not all) fans engage in while continuing to buy a title. To me, it's either buy it or don't: long time fan of Superman...
100% agreed. Additionally, we comic fans are a fickle lot: when big changes don't happen, we feel the title "gets stale", we get bored and complain/move on. When big changes do happen, we (some...
Gotta find the teaser but it was in an interview earlier this week. And yeah, this summer will rule. Omit Jersey Shore and I am right there with ya. Unless you meant the actual shore and not that...
Another poster, I forget who, mentioned it a few pages back. It dovetails with a teaser that Ben will be appearing in the books this summer so it is definitely worth discussing!
Hmmm..... a few thoughts:
*I totally agree that the post-Clone Saga era in the '90's was a mess. Had the Ben Reilly era been done right, it could have been a home run; as it was, though, it was...
I don't attribute "The Other" (or "Sins Past" either for that matter) solely to JMS as I believe both arcs were editorially driven. Yes, JMS had plenty of stiinkers to go along with a number of...
Ryan, great hypothesis! I briefly thought about it once that page hit during the Vulture arc but then things moved at such a breakneck pace over the next several issues of SSM that I didn't really...
Ramos' art looks awesome here; for me, the best his Spidey stuff has looked was the opening "Big Time" arc (with Hobgoblin) and "Spider-Island". These are just the covers but it looks pretty sweet...
Neither one has alienated me. In just about 40 years of reading Spidey, the only time I was "alienated" (or stopped buying the title for a while) was in the early 1980's when I started college,...
Superior is just a fantastic story so far and it is truly is such a big shift from the status quo that some of the solicits/interviews are going to make reference to that. The notion that it is...
It's actually pretty good. Certainly not great or required reading but this is a much better showing for Alpha than the arc from ASM was; additionally it is my first exposure to Fialkov's writing...
Huh. One of my favorite runs but I haven't tackled it in at least 10 years, probably more. I gotta give it another try; I remember the Answer, Black Cat, Kingpin all being prominent and digging it...
