Then when you turn the book over and look at the back cover it's a picture of Quesada giving you the finger while lighting a cuban cigar with a hundred dollar bill.
I could have sworn I saw that image in Civil War #7.
How the hell do you mistake Millar beating someone over the head with a log labeled "POLITICAL COMMENTARY" with Joey Q flipping you off?

So, and bear with me for I've been gone from the system of tubes for a while...but is John Romita Jr being added to the roster of other artists to be on ASM?
As in:
"Artwork will be done by Phil Jimenez, Steve McNiven, Salvador LaRoca and Chris Bachalo." And John Romita Jr.
Man, they can now turn Spiderman into a transvestite hooker that kills crooks with his/her spider gun. I won't care, because we finally have Romita Jr. back drawing Spiderman. I actually dropped Amazing when he left, and this is reason enough for me to pick up the spiderman books again.
Uh, what? Blank, he's part of the ASM team just like those other guys.
Not as of now.
The others start in late 07, early 08.
JRJR won't be on until late 08.

Is it wrong for me to be excited about One More Day? The internet tells me I'm wrong but for some reason it feels so right. The shit they left Parker in at the end of Back in Black actually makes me want to know what will happen next.
A couple of bloggers who went to WWChicago said that Quesada spent a big chunk of the X-Men panel defending his comments about the Spider-marriage, and even got booed several times during a couple of the panels when referring to it, which is pretty funny. I look forward to lots of internet outrage if he breaks them up somehow.
Man, I'm pretty pumped for One More Day. Honestly, there's not too much that Marvel can do to keep me from wanting to shell out for new issues of Amazing.
If Joey Q. has in fact decided that it was time to have another radical change in the life of Spider-Man, I'm going to make my first ever convention appearance so that I can personally punch him in the balls.

What I don't understand about Quesada and his dislike to the marriage is that he feels it made Spidey "grow up", and that it robs him of some of his more familiar stories. And yet, they had him unmask, which I think is worse.
It's probably going to end in Peter becoming a heroin addict and the drugs give him a new super power: drugged webbing and spider biting that makes his victims become addicted to said heroin.

Seriously, the unmasking, while leading to some kinda interesting stuff, was just a bad idea. Peter has enough shit in his life, why do you need to heap more on him?
Then again, that's part of the appeal, that his life isn't perfect. When things are going his way, the universe takes notice and kicks him in the nuts.

Also, he specifically said he would never do that.

Oddly I care enough about the character to hope that no one dies. But if someone were to die or be removed from the Parker continuum, I wouldn't mind it being Mary Jane.
I don't recall if it was Marvel or DC that's trying to establish fewer instances of "Oh hey, I'm not dead anymore", but given that MJ has "died" or "disappeared" often enough that the missing person's call centre and Mortuary are on a first name basis with her relatives, I just couldn't buy it.

itll probably end up being something stupid like aunt may being pissed that peter turned into a criminal for her and that he should be stronger then that. thus severing the tie between aunt may and peter and he becomes suicidal. Only to find out it's impossible for him to kill himself because his new spider sense automatically dodges every bullet he tries to shoot himself with. He can't even end his own misery now.
Aunt May's going to kick the bucket soon. They've basically said that she's not coming out of it, even the radioactive blood didn't help, and if something happens with the machines, she's gone.

its jsut annoying because they are getting what i call microsoft syndrome. It doesn't even matter what the fuck they do with spider-man because it will always sell well. i mean we really could go up and punch joe Q in teh nuts but he would just be like "but its selling, so some people MUST like it and the people that don't are just a small fraction and we don't care about them".
this whole "numbers = good books" thing is really annoying.
Peter's angst over his actions in ASM#543 is such bullshit. He's been committing felonies for years.
Also, doesn't he have friends with super-technology? Or how about his new teammate Dr. Strange? Couldn't Strange just whip up a healing spell or something? I could understand taking May to hospital right away in order to keep her from bleeding out, but I would think that after a day or two, he'd have her out of there and being treated by someone with better technology, healing powers, or magic.
Oh, and it never occurred to him that bringing in an old woman with a gunshot wound and paying cash for her medical care would raise red flags?
A) Your sig is way too tall. He hasn't been committing felonies, he's always made sure he stayed on this side of the line. Yes, he beat the hell out of villains, but who else would?
And it's a coma. There's no cure for a coma, and it would look like a cop-out to do it that way.

Don't worry, it'll just turn out she's a genetically altered actress.
The last time May died was character closure perfect.

tony cloned her because he thought it would bring happiness to spider-man. but now that peter turned on him him he had her killed. remember that meeting between him and kingpin? that's when it all went down. off panel man. totally.
The big Aunt May death, the one with Peter crying and reciting "Peter Pan"? That's how she should have died.
Alternately, I want Peter to think she's come out of her coma, and then she's killed by a chestburster.

Spidey news should be in the Spidey Thread.
Thor news should be in the Thor Thread.
Batman news should be in the Batman Thread, etc.
As in:
"Artwork will be done by Phil Jimenez, Steve McNiven, Salvador LaRoca and Chris Bachalo." And John Romita Jr.

I didn't know that, I started reading just a couple months before Civil War.

Unfortunately, Joe Q. and JMS think that they need to fix that everywhere.
