A lot can change in a year and fresh blood on a book. I speak from experience.

I'm going to be blunt here, Blunt Guy.

I do enjoy USM on its own merits. Immensely.

However, the questionable quality of the mainstream 616 title is hard, if not impossible, for many fans to...

And it is WELL deserved.

I absolutely have been loving the Spider-Man aspects of...

I can see the powder keg being lit, and so far the Spider-Man and Peter Parker parts of his life have been kept at arm's length from each other. I very much expect that to change - especially after...

Another phenomenal issue.

The best praise I can give Ultimate Spider-Man is that literally 50% of it thus far doesn't even have any action in it, just strong character writing and world building,...

Fresh off Issue 4 and the first real deep-dive into this version of Mary Jane... and I'm supremely happy with it. MJ is grounded in a way she hasn't been in years, and it's showcasing proof positive...

Paul literally pulling the Nuremberg Defense isn’t remotely the “win” you think it is, and certainly doesn’t make him a more interesting or sympathetic character.

Honestly, that's exactly how I would have done it with MJ too. Linda getting powers was designed as an intentional temporary thing, and the reason she even had them was due to a life-changing event...

I’ve been catching up on Jeremy Adams’s The Flash run lately and it’s frustrating to read it and then compare it to 616 Peter and MJ, largely because it’s so fun and creative and also because of how...

Yes. ESPECIALLY if this is the story they are trying to tell. I neither want a Ben that harms others nor a Ben that’s incomplete without the experiences that shaped him.



It’s a loss of self....

Some copies arriving early and are in the wild. Be on guard for spoilers.

It's a very frustrating story where mostly it's just breaking people down and fans hoping and praying that another writer can make lemonade out of lemons.

As stated before, I'm not a fan of the...

This is a very murky topic, and many have strong thoughts about this situation, myself included. Circumstances are quite unique here, and no one here fully knows what happened besides the victims....

I think all he’ll need is one issue with a spotlight and people will be fully onboard. The smart and responsible older brother type can be quite endearing.

I hope not. Granted, it’s all in the execution, but that’s a bit too grim. I still don’t even “fully” accept that 616 Mayday is truly dead. It’s just too dark for “Spider-Man” to me.

I expect loss...

Lol. I needed a good laugh.

For better or worse, a highly-public character puts a writer into the spotlight, so every statement is looked at and scrutinized, particularly when divisive or unpopular decisions are made with that...

We have Lowe's statements that they literally didn't know what to do with him, as they felt he didn't have a place in the current Spider-Man landscape, followed by a lot of curious choices and even...

It raises so many other questions, but at this point I'll take that mess over what was initially implied.

Topically, my group was bringing up old interviews with the Marvel guys about OMD and...

I guess we'll see. However, given that their relationship literally began with Ben saving her from the darkest parts of her soul, her self-loathing and self-hatred and self-destruction, I hope we...

Well, it didn't help that all the non-X-Men mutants rather clumsily were retconned to somehow NOT be mutants anymore, like Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Franklin Richards, and Squirrel Girl.

I...

Is this in regards to something specific, or a general *gestures broadly* statement?

I feel like there’s miscommunication (or walking back) going on.

I’m still amused Paul was/is living with Aunt Anna and Anna appeared to have no idea about him last issue, but you could handwave...

Since the powers are random, it’s still a terrible idea to utilize it even without the risk of self-harm and dying. What if she gets a power she struggles to control, like suddenly she’s shooting...
