Classic Jameson strikes me as a mainstream media liberal type. You know, the kind on CNN or New York Times that is pro-status quo but doesn't realize it, is pro-sensationalism but doesn't realize it...

If that's what any of them think, it would be hard to take that seriously when this is the same group of editors that put the original Ultimate on a pedestal and even pushed for the adaptations to...

It's genuinely baffling how amateurish and trashy Marvel's flagship book has become.

Wells has diminished the status of ASM more than anyone else. Literally more than anyone else.

As I saw...

Haven't thought about it but... so true.

Hickman's entire new Ultimate universe is a deliberate subversion of 616 (not just USM but even the other books):

-Peter becoming Spider-Man as an adult after he already understands...

I can't say I'm tired of Spider-Verse since Comics Spider-Verse is a lot like everything else post-OMD: too focused on high concepts with little-to-no character stuff.

I don't know what...

He was still in control of his actions, though.

TAS Kraven would be found not guilty by insanity.

IMO, the thematic stuff in KLH wouldn't work if Kraven isn't in control of his actions.

I think the Kamala stunt absolutely counts as a blatantly obvious example of an -ism.

She'll probably show up eventually. Or, if everything is an inversion, is just a civilian.

I'm just curious, but what are your thoughts on the disenfranchised Millennial metaphor they're doing with Peter?

I find that while the marriage is the main reason the fans are buying it in the...

This should not be forgotten. Ever.

It feels like the Ultimate/2017 thing of being different to be different. Part of why I can't get excited for it.



If they touch JMS, it will only be the JRJR era. That's the part everyone...

Yeah, Friendly Neighborhood has an uphill battle with me just on premise alone.

Loved the new X-Men episode. Clearly a Spider-Man '98 wouldn't take the JMS/Paul Jenkins stuff off the table.

I don't disagree that nothing will fundamentally change until the old guard is gone, but I think Hickman's X-Men might be an example of the opposite.

The thing is that Hickman wanted to move X-Men...

Dan said RYV is all we are getting and now we have USM.

We don't know how well it's selling, though. It's possible that from Marvel's POV, it's underperforming.

Again, we don't know much, but we do know that things can't be all rosy. Lowe and Cebulski...

I think that at minimum, they'll at least go back to something akin to Spencer's status quo and stay there (even if they don't undo OMD).

I just can't see them being allowed to continue the BND...

Again, I feel like we are too fixated on Disney here. It doesn't have to be Disney who overrules someone like Cebulski or Brevoort.

Someone within Marvel who is somewhat in charge of the comics...

What is the reason Disney doesn't usually care about the comics division, though? Is it because they don't care about maximizing their profits anywhere they can, or because nothing unusual in terms...

I think the reception to Wells' run and USM are both game changers. I mean, based on how much Marvel lost control of the narrative with these two books, I don't know if the handful of pro-OMD editors...

Part II is up!

The intention was clearly to create a sense that Peter has no control over his life and that the rich evil dude he doesn't even know exists is responsible for so much of his problems without him...

At the very least, regardless of whether they choose to recast, Kingpin should be used sparingly or not at all.

The show made him involved in everything.

He actually said this? This sounds like an April Fools joke.
