    What is this "Sins Past" thing

    edit: oh are you fucking serious

    Heh, I can picture the look on your face the moment you read up on it. Guess you'll be even less happy to know then that the last story involving Spidey confronting Norman Osborn referenced it.

    Is that the Wanted guy? If so, no he does not, just based on the fact that you are willing to say he does.

    He's written X-Men Legacy since it became Xavier's thang (and now Rogue's thing), he had a run on X-Men, I'm drawing a blank on anything else.

    It was all good.

    Mike Carey

    Did Lucifer, which is a Sandman spin-off, did a fantastic 41 issue run of Hellblazer, he's doing Unwritten right now, and I know there's a bunch of stuff I'm not thinking of but I don't feel like hitting wiki

    He is so goddamn good

    Fuck you Ghost

    I ain't mention Moon Knight writers that aren't Moench or Huston ever

    I'm sure if it'd gone down the way he envisioned it, it would have been somewhat better

    I can't say how much better, but at least a little bit.

    Here's the deal with One More Day, it was a JMS story, it was always going to be a JMS story.

    The Mephisto was always going to be the way it went down. The part where JMS balked, was the way he had it written it out, it was a meticulous retcon. He'd mapped out a change that would ripple out and retcon everything into the status quo that Marvel wanted.

    But Marvel and Joey Q didnt want that, they didnt want it to be a real retcon, they wanted the psuedo retcon, new now but with the same past thing. Thats what JMS didnt want to do, the rest is still him though.

    it's really weird to completely retcon one thing in this huge interconnected universe with absolutely no change to anything else

    it feels like the spidey books take place in another universe now

    it's just odd

    Well the way they have (sort of) explained it, it's just people's memories that have been changed, none of the actual events are different.

    Spider-Man showed up, was sarcastic, and then the comic was over. I never saw anything about that shit outside of the spidey books.
