Popping in as we near the end of April with an update. I was super busy last month, so I wasn't able to do as much promotion as usual, yet we still wrangled in about 50 new members over the last 30...

I continue to bristle at the idea MJ “met someone new and moved on” like she just met a great guy at a coffee shop. She was forcibly imprisoned with him in a hellscape and forced to rely on him for...

Someone else has already mentioned that USM has been showing that many were mistaken in thinking ASM was at its sales ceiling, when it likely is at a sales floor. It's selling, but rarely have I seen...

The outfit is straight 60s Peter.

Gonna be honest here, I have quite the dirty mind and vivid imagination at times, and… didn’t even think twice about this. Maybe it’s because I see how my wife eats (and this is how she eats…), but...

Stegman’s MJ is one of the greats.

It’s also a false conclusion. OMD didn’t put Peter back in high school. It just turned him from a guy who was married in his early 20s to an older single screwup in his late 20s.

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...
