yes. I'm so glad Harry is alive again! I thought his death as the Goblin was an awesome story, but I'm so happy to see him alive again as Peter's friend.

I hope when Dark Reign ends, it's Harry who defeats Norman.

Word. Joe Kelly's just a great writer.

So, I've been catching back up on this from the beginning of the reboot, and it's not as bad as everyone's saying. I mean, Bob Gale's stories are garbage but Guggenheim's stuff is solid and Slott's a pretty straight writer when he doesn't have cheesy plot to work with (Anti-Venom, anyone?).

But honestly, the best stories are when it's someone outside the "Brain Trust" writing. Joe Kelly's stories are pretty much classics all around. Zeb Wells' stuff has been really good too, as has been Mark Waid's stories.

But all around, I think this venture has been a pretty big success.

Well, the writers have been admitted that there's a big stall in ASM tying in to Dark Reign, because the weekly format means that the book has to be planned much further in advance.

But really, American Son isn't doing it for you? It's chock full of Norman making life hell for Spidey.

And 24/7 was chock full of JJJ making life hell for Spidey.

The book's always been about Peter juggling his personal life against the responsibilities of Spider-Man. If you don't like the personal drama behind the mask, you probably shouldn't be reading Spider-Man. Hell, Spider-Man is the character who gave birth to the comic book soap opera.

I think American Son has had a good start. The first two parts were good set up for what's to come. And come on, Spidey acting as Venom? Awesome.
 
I just do not like the ending of the latest issue...... come on......are we really to believe that Spider-man was shot and killed
I also like the tease for 600 with the villain planning in the background

I was a bit drunk when I posted my first post ((well I am more drunk now... but at least I make less grammar mistakes...)) about the way the latest way ASM is going for...

Let's say, I just couldn't get used to the way ASM is going after "Brand New Day".Even a little earlier than that...

When I really loved Spidey was, when MJ and Peter broke up, but while Peter did the superhero thingie, he somehow seeked for a way to get back to MJ.MJ was all he was thinking about when he was fighting Ezekiel ((who is more dangerous than Venom and Green Goblin combined..)), and I really fell in love with the commitment Peter had for MJ.


Right now, whatever Spidey does, is just meaningless for me, because he has no expactations for the future...

He beats the head of Hammer and Avengers, the green goblin, the long-time hated Green Goblin... then what? Spidey has no dreams after that... and I really can't enjoy that...

I just want to see him being happy because he could finally arrange a date with MJ again after a long time....

Who could deny the reality of they put a cute little smile on their face, when Spidey shouted "I'm the luckiest guy on earth!" out of nowhere on the top of some random building, just because he could finally start dating MJ again... I just want back that feeling Starcynzki and JRJR gave to me a few years ago...

I hope I can feel that again after ASM 600 ((in which Marvel says that MJ somehow returns to Peter's life...)), otherwise I am dropping this book...
 
This arc is amazing (no pun intended). And I'm almost tempted to pick up the #599 variant cover that spoofs the Obama cover as part of their look back at covers from the 70's. See a *tiny* version of it here.
 
I haven't been reading this but I was on Wiki and it said Norman is grooming Harry to be the next Captian America? Is this true?
 
I read some stuff on Marvel.com that said MJ will be coming back as a regular starting with issue 600

In this instance, Mary Jane is returning to Peter Parker's life as 'The Ex,' someone he had a very, very serious, long-term relationship with [that] fell apart for reasons that remain mysterious," notes Van Lente. "She's someone who was so intimate with Peter, who still cares for him deeply, but still sees his flaws with a jaundiced eye as most exes do. The new Peter/M.J. dynamic is very cool, very natural, and, most importantly, will have a lot of great Spider-Man stories come out of it.

Of course, just because she's the ex now doesn't preclude her becoming something more in the future

It doesn't say if she knows that Peter is Spidey, but I would guess she does based on the paper doll story last year.

It's about time they used this new single Peter as a vehicle to tell interesting stories. I love ASM, but none of the stories from the past year really depended on Peter being single.
