This is the new Amazing Spider-Man thread.
Yes yes, we all know how you (and everyone else) feels about OMD.
But this is a BRAND NEW DAY.
Starting next week ASM will be shipping 3x a month, starting with an arc by Dan Slott and Steve McNiven.
Other creators that will be part of the regular rotation include writers Bob Gale, Marc Guggenheim, and Zeb Wells. Along with artists Phil Jimenez, Salvador Larocca, and Chris Bachalo.

As far as fictional characters go, I think Spidey is really great and I'm excited for this! 8-)
The only problem I have with going back to the old status quo is that... it's the old status quo. As long as they can keep the stories fresh and interesting, I'm willing to look the other way at some of the continuity rape that's going on. I'd like him to have a supporting cast other than his wife and aunt again and his "new" spider powers were mostly ignored anyway.
The cynical part of me also wonders how long it'll be before they cave and go back to the "old" continuity again. Are people going to be able to accept him dating other women without it feeling like he's "cheating" on Mary Jane? Will the continuity errors continue to pile up and annoy people? Will Bob Gale be able to fix everything by having Peter play "Johnny B. Goode" at his parents' prom?
Sigfile'd
I'm interested to see what the feedback here is. I'm most assuredly unhappy with the continuity rape that's happened and Quesada's apparent inability to see it but Jesus God those are some pretty pictures.
Bachalo's art seems rather tame in this!
Nothing to see here people!
Yeah but no one knows he's Spider-Man now, isn't the point of him being single and doing the magic thing that he's suppose to be white and nerdy all over again as described in the Weird Al song.
he's always been a ladies man
I mean how else did he land first Gwen Stacy and then MJ?
Screw Gwen, he landed the Black Cat.
That was the trophy right there.
Could be. Last I heard, she was in semi-retirement. They could always have her break-up off-panel if they want her and Pete to date.
If he gets to bone her again during BND, I may consider reading it. At least, the issue(s) with all the good bits :winky:
He landed her as Spidey though
we were talking about him picking up chicks as Peter
Yeah, and now he can fuck her as Spider-Man, Peter or some dude for all it matters.
Like Longshot? That would be cool.
I like the art.

no no no, this belongs in the OMD thread
no it doesn't
BND is post OMD continuity.
His response is covering post OMD. So get off it.
yeah it does, This is the BND Spider-Man thread, it dosen't have shit to do with Thunderbolts. We have a thread already where we can bitch about all the things OMD fucked up.
Can we at least wait until the first issue of BND comes out before we start bitching in this thread too? OMD is the story that brought Harry back, so yes that is the story that fucks with Thunderbolts. That thread has been more discussing the fallout of the story than the story itself anyway.
and Sax, Norman's history has been screwed since he came back to life, it's just screwed up more now.
Granted, now he's the other "brick" for the New Avengers, but still. Cranking his spider-sense and strength up seemed like a natural progression for someone who's been doing this for years.
I totally agree with this, though I wonder who exactly is the first "brick?"
