    I can't figure out which post is more worthless, yours or the one above it... but, since you win all the worthless posts awards, I'll go with the one above it.

    Either way, kudos to both of you.

    Frankly, Lois and Clarks relationship seems kinda stagnant... one of them needs to cheat. I would like to suggest it be Clark, and that he do it with Supergirl.

    Yeah... you heard me. That ought to spice up the DCAU a bit.
    Lois needs to go back to getting married to a different guy every issue.

    You'd think if you were Superman, the last (sorta) member of a race now extinct, you'd use that as justification to sleep with every compatible female you meet. And since Supes meets a super powered babe every day...

    Lets just say I'd buy a Superman comic if he dumped Lois and started playing the field.

    wow... so, you're saying having Superman cheat on Lois with his underage cousin is a bad idea? I'm so glad you were here to point that out.

    Well I think the last time an era ended for Spider-Man was when his baby died.

    So I guess it seems like its going to be a unusually drastic end.

    It would have been the end of an era if the baby had lived. When was the last time they even mentioned the younger May?

    Anyway, I wonder if they're going to have Spider-Man remain faithful to the wife he doesn't know he has once the universe changes, assuming that is what happens. On the one hand it's the sort of thing that would bother some fans and will be a source of deep regret once the marriage kicks back in, but on the other hand isn't having Spider-Man date other women pretty much the only new story possibility allowed by the dissolution of his marriage?

    Physiologically she was 16 when she crash landed... which means she's around 17 now. Which in some states is probably still legal... and a good many of those states don't look down on marrying your cousin anyway.

    I'm just saying, it's an idea...

    When I saw one of those Previews with Wolverine and Spidey in the kitchen I thought, sweet! Spidey and Wolverine as roommates would be awesome...

    but then I saw they were just in Dr. Strange's house... now I'm all bitter again.

    So how exactly are the three teams working on the new nearly-weekly book going to work?

    Are they all take one week a month? Or Does one team take an Arc, and then wait till the next two Arcs are finished before they start again?

    They each do an arc, and they rotate. Or, they get replaced once their arc is done, probably depends on the creator.

    It sounds like the writers are all the same (Guggenheim, Slott, Gale, and Wells), but the artists are not. So far we know that McNiven, Bachalo, and JRJr will be penciling arcs in the first year.

    Very true. I've never read anything by Bob Gale, but Wells, Guggenheim, and Slott are rock solid.

    it's just upsetting because everything peter has been shown in the past few issues has told him - sometimes very bluntly - that giving it all up for aunt may is the WRONG DECISION. both God and the devil gave him vision of why the hell he should be happy where he is. and now he is just gonna ignore all that shit.

    though when mephisto offered his solution at first peter was immediately all "fuck you!", so maybe it's MJ that does it.
