Great review, but LMAO @ "Where is my Peter?!? Where's my Peter?!?" in the grandpa voice @ 6:22

LIVING BRAIN? LIVING BRAIN? Amazing Spider-Man #8 was my first comic and it was the Living Brains first and only(?) appearance, but I loved that machine. Now Dan Slott is bringing it back? I have to get this for nostalgia alone.

But Otto sounds like himself, alright, but, he does respond to a police call about the Sinister Six robbery. We have yet to see if Otto apprehended them, or leads them.

Living Brain showed up again later on.

Otto is clearly gonna have to rethink his strategy of just rushing in.

Preview looks pretty nice. Love the art for it.

Am I the only one reminded of the Cheesoid sketch by Mitchell and Webb?

**DV1Band** · 01-05-2013, 10:02 AM

Meh. I'm still skipping it.

The Living Brain has shown up in a Spider-Man comic before since ASM #8. It just wasn't in an ASM comic, which is probably why you missed it.

Yeah, that, and it was probably in the 80's because I only returned to Spidey when Peters Parents came back just before the clone saga. Thanks for finding that cover, by the way. It looks a good tribute.

But this use of the Living Brain is rather unique, and I'm surprised nobody used it long before this as it's such a dorky object, and we have had way more dorky characters used than this before.

No problem! Yeah, that comic is definitely from the 80s (check out the mullets...lol). Web of Spider-Man was a series that started out with a lot of promise but it quickly became obvious that Web was the bottom tier Spidey title. This issue was actually pretty decent, though. Probably because it was a tribute to a more classic Spidey issue and era.

I like how Otto has convinced himself that he's Peter. I hope he develops a sense of humor... he'll need that in the Avengers books and teamups

Gerry Conway wrote that one! Web Of was at its best when it was written by Gerry Conway (along with his Spectacular run going on simultaneously), more experienced after his ASM run years before

Easy, tiger. His art only looks that good because you had to Brillo your eyes with Ramos' stuff.

This. Between Shocker, Legit, Transistor & Polarity (all Shocker fanfiction stories), I've always held out a hope he'd get a solo title or mini-series from the folks at Marvel. Still Waiting.

Incorrect, stranger. He's as good as Ramos is bad. He's a bonafide superstar artist and I'm glad he's on the big book, even with potentially rapist Spider-Man.
