Joe Quesada, EiC of Marvel Comics has finally done it. He has destroyed 20 years of continuity with this asinine arc. Great job of making Peter Parker forsake his marriage to let someone live who's been on borrowed time since the sixties. This clusterfuck is gonna put a strain on other titles. I'm not touching 616 Spider-Man for awhile.


Joe Quesada is a total :wanker . Seriously.

Oh Yeah Brand New Day is not gonna help either.

You forgot how he SOLD HIS SOUL TO THE FUCKING DEVIL to do that, too.

I'm not a Spidey fan. Fuck, I'm not a Marvel fan. The only comics I really read and enjoy are the Hellboy books (Hellboy, BPRD, Lobster Johnson, etcetera) and Atomic Robo. But I can smell shit writing a mile off, and this is some of the worst I've ever heard.

I'm aware of Pete's deal with Mephisto. I still think that was the lamest and easiest way out.

Bendis is a cunt for writing Spider-Man into the New Avengers after the Disassembled arc. If he wasn't part of it, he'd never have unmasked and never have had May shot. Although I do love that JMS was writing May to not be some doddery old bint.

Spider-Man is not a major team player. Never has been, never will be. I'm neutral towards Brand New Day, bearing in mind the only way for me to read them is either download scans, import for a hefty price or wait for the fortnightly Panini collections on 2/3 years. I downloaded scans for OMD because I wanted to know why the fanbase was shitting itself.

Spider-Man's marriage is good/bad dependent on the author. Y'know why it was mostly bad? People were constantly trying to write it out.

I'll see where the BND arc goes before I decide to slit Joey Q's wrists for him.

This is why I only read Ultimate.

(My bank account has something to do with it, too.)

P.S.: Feldoon? I don't care WHAT the fuck Bendis did, he's a complete and utter genius. The man cannot do wrong. :P

He can stretch a "hi" over 5 pages. And often does.

I wouldn't mind if it wasn't for the fact I'm paying for less content because the artist still has to draw.

I have the first 13 issues of Ultimate Spider-Man in a TPB and I do like it. I just don't think it was worth the money sheerly because he spends too much time DOING NOTHING.

Well as has been noted this is a shit sandwich. 20 years down the toilet. No Venom no Carnage No Harry blaming Spidey for Norman's death.

The NerdRage is palpable.

Well Venom could still be in it though the Eddie Brock character never made sense to me. Oh boohoo you got fired because you reported that the Sin Eater was captured when he wasn't. Whoop-de-fuck. Whiner.

Spider-Ben never happened because it was MJ who convinced Peter to move to Portland (I believe it was Portland) and ditch the Spider-Man identity. Does this mean the 90's clone saga happened at all? I like to pretend the retarded, over-stretched parts didn't. Personally, I like the character of Ben Reilly who is essentially a more street-smart Parker who tends to think with his fists first as a means for survival. Which, y'know, easily suits the Peter-as-single archetype which would leave the real Peter Parker to be off with MJ. Furthermore, that would've been interesting to see Peter and Ben on opposite sides of the Civil War as the first 20-ish years of their lives are identical (memory-wise) and thus they have the same basic morals. But no, the Red Team are revealed to be clones of MVP. Pathetic.

I'm going to stop rambling.

It was MJ that made Pete give up the Black suit. Without that he wouldn't have (something the movie never touched on) He Might still get rid of it but what are the chances of it being Brock?

Also seconding Ben Riley spidey returning.

Given the What If issue where Peter kept the symbiote suit showed him dying because of it, I'm sure in this new continuity, he ditched it. I just hope a the Scorpivenom still has the suit and always had it.

I'm getting really hopeful that Spider-Ben'll return in BND (it'd make me like it more) considering the amount of references Marvel keep chugging out for him. Quesada, just fuck off and give us Ben back.

One thing I've noticed not a lot of 'fans' haven't noticed that all that's happened is a What If universe has switched numbers with the 616 universe and MJ just remembers the 616 history. Presumably a Mephisto didn't exist in that What If universe.

The hate for Queseda is spreading outside of comics:
