Queens is still New York City. The other boroughs have some lovely areas as well. They’re still not suburban. IMO Peter “settled down in the ‘burbs” is stretching what is on the page as he’s out...

Peter and MJ lived in New York City. They were nowhere near the suburbs except for The Final Adventure during the Clone Saga which was very much a temporary status. They also lived in a variety of...

So a twenty something Peter who lived in a rented apartment and worked freelance for the Bugle, but who happens to be in love and in a committed relationship that has a piece of paper, therefore...

Peter Parker graduted high school in ASM 25, published in 1965.

According to Comichron and postal Statements of Ownership, the #2 best selling comic book in 1965 was Superboy. Superman's Pal Jimmy...

Ditko also said: “Stan’ writing style was completely wrong for Spider-Man. He treated teenage Peter Parker as a seasoned veteran with his nonsensical comic dialogue exchanges between a hero and a...

Not really. AF 15 is Peter's coming of age. Peter was a child, was selfish like a child, lost his uncle and thus his childish innocence, and learned he had adult power and adult responsibility....

I’d argue that sticking Peter perpetually in high school is still not coming of age. That’s just an animated sitcom like The Simpsons. Or classic Archie (and even Archie has grown up and even died). ...

The coming of age genre is defined as the journey to becoming an adult. It's right there, in the title. That's what "of age" means - to be the age when one is no longer considered/treated as a child...

Cebulski outright said at C2E2 a few years ago that they had made “adjustments” to Spencer’s story. He says there was no arm twisting, but then they were working on replacing Spencer at least nine...

The last thing Amazing Spider-Man needs is to be stuck in the same old, same old tired, wheel spinning, sophomoric toy box mentality.

The book needs new blood and fresh thinking. Not the...

I actually agree. I should have used /s at the end of my last post.

There's no set up. And there's no reason for us to care about Amelia. In fact, considering she's terrorizing innocent citizens...

Don’t know if you noticed, but in the end Garlador went with making him an outright villain.

And also, comics only have 20-30 pages an issue. There's barely enough story per issue to justify...

A few things:

1) "We" don't have to convince Marvel of anything. Marvel would be, in fact, rather ridiculous if they listened to a bunch of randos on a message board or even social media. I...

Since Wells was very quick to break up a Peter and MJ who were just dating, evidence suggests Marvel doesn’t agree with this.



This is moving goal posts, and moving them into an area that is...

Making an exception to my "do not write for free" rule:

1) MJ and Paul were never intimate, they just co-raised the chains. After all, they were the only 4 "people" on the planet, it makes sense...

Pretty sure people who are in serious but not legally papered relationships would disagree :D

Which brings up a sidebar:

The supposed golden era of Peter the swinging single - pun intended -...

I agree, there are multiple ways to do it.

But they take treating MJ and Peter as characters, not treating Peter like a toy to be thrown around haphazardly before putting him back in his...

I never said that LOL. That is seriously funny to me.

But i do know one romance that has already captured my heart.

Look at how adorable and in love they are. Even MJ thinks so.

Did people see that Unknown Comics is re-releasing a 4th printing of their Tyler Kirkham cover from USM #2, which was originally sold out?
...

We're not the writers and editors. That isn't our jobs. We're not paid to make characters interesting.

Also, pretty sure this isn't a Paul thread. Can we get back on topic, y'all?

I absolutely agree just restoring the marriage isn't enough, and I'd also argue USM is outperforming not just because of the marriage.

There are a lot of lesssons to be taken from USM, starting...

It worked for twenty years. It worked when Amazing Spider-Man was the best-selling comic in the late 80s/early 90s. Now USM is the best-selling comic.



This is your opinion.

It is not a...

I...didn't say that?

What it does is make people on top ask why aren't the other books are performing at the same level.

If Coke is dominating its market, then the question becomes why isn't...

They should be characters. I agree with Daibhidh this is probably too complex to discuss on a message board.

Even two dimensional representations of women shouldn't be treated as interchangeable...

The MARKET has said the preference makes more money.



No one who is a serious businessperson is going to say, "Better not make that best selling product any more, Bob, Twixxer user...
