He di some really great stories, when he was wasn't having to write crap "Disassembled" storylines where Peter gets organic webshooters because that's what he had in the movie.<BR/><BR/>I will say that I liked that the Scarlet Spider came up with stingers. It's not magic, it was still science, and I can't see the harm in giving Spidey a little extra.<BR/><BR/>But yeah, him getting red eyes and sharp teeth, JMS is pushing his whole mystic aspect farther than I'd like. And yet, I'll keep reading, because I like Spidey and I'll be hoping the book is good.CalvinPitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11815632086057048846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13848504.post-1134758123289267702005-12-16T12:35:00.000-06:002005-12-16T12:35:00.000-06:00Nice one, Ragnell.

I recently got the first trade, and I absolutely loved it. Kirkman would be fantastic for Spidey.<BR/><BR/>How about it, Marvel? Slott, David, and Kirkman on the Spider-Man titles.

I like Pete in an academic setting, but I can't really suspend disbelief that he's still in, like, grad school, even. Brother's got to have a ton of student loans staring him in the face by now), cracking wise and having fun. <BR/><BR/>Him and Dan Slott write the best Spidey I've read in a long time, I think because they realize that Spider-Man isn't meant for dire, depressing shit like vampires eating his Goddamn eyes and magical new powers. <BR/><BR/>'Course, what do <I>we</I> know? We're not the elusive casual fans who suddenly appeared in comic shops after they saw the Spider-Man movie and got really excited to see that the writer of a canceled sci-fi TV show was moving the character even further away from the origin they showed on film.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15681540647028985792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13848504.post-1134747886529990292005-12-16T09:44:00.000-06:002005-12-16T09:44:00.000-06:00I haven't read any of The Others, but it just soun...I haven't read any of <I>The Others</I>, but it just sounds really, really terrible.
