Interested to see what comes next! Also digging the art by Todd Nauck...was never really into his Spidey work in the past, but this story seems to work for his style.

You guys REALLY love comics!

I can't summon the intestinal fortitude to read into all those various elements.

I'm aware of a few of the items you mention, particularly the letter page stuff. I...

You mean the premise of folks finding, reading and enjoying books they like?

If there are truly mistakes in this run, you should run it by Marvel and request a No-Prize!

^^^ All of this.

I'm not trying to rebut anything or win an argument.

It is perfectly ok that folks don't enjoy this run.

For me, and I know I've said this before, it's as simple as find...

Make good art and make money for their company. ASM is doing that.

I'm sure there are creatives on other titles at various comic publishers hoping they can make the "mistakes" this run is apparently making.

I'll admit, the contradiction does make for a bit of "conspiracy".

But I'm not sure it even matters the "who" that wanted it handled in the manner it was or "who" wanted it done.

They wanted to...

I take this new topic wouldn't be better served for a different thread? Woo Hoo!

It's unfortunate that even needed an explanation.

The part in bold...

I've followed all those same things...and enjoyed a lot of it.

But for me, I don't need for the story to keep building upon itself continously.

All those things we read -...

Dang, the thought I could be contributing to a conspiracy never even occurred to me!

For one, I really don't write that well, so that's an automatic insult if anyone thinks I'm Mr. Slott (meaning...

I'm gonna let you have that one, bro!

It actually may be true, that at some point, popcorn did have some nutritional value! I'm too lazy to look it up, but if the Vegan says it, it's good enough...

No need to defend. I enjoy the book because I find it entertaining.

That, at least to me, is easy to understand.

It's more challenging for folks to defend why you follow a book you dislike or...

If you are the type to take that type of marketing to heart, you are exactly who they are marketing towards.

Sorry, I do not take that seriously AT ALL.

The goal of a solicit is to get you to...

That is not deep, it's just marketing to interest a consumer to purchase a product.

Just like everyone is "#1" or "the best" at whatever product or service they offer.

How many times have we...

It's too bad we can't see actual sales figures.

Regardless of how many copies ASM sells, it does sell.

If the majority of readers are just buying ASM to keep their collections intact, that's on...

I've read Last Hunt and Killing Joke.

TBH, I don't hold Last Hunt in high regard as most do. It was ok.

I don't have an issue if a book gets dark or serious or decides to tackle a social,...

I would disagree with that idea of "expect".

We should expect to be entertained by these books.

It's nice if they can do more, be deeper, tackle issues, etc.

And there is absolutely nothing...

If you're reading comics for "deep reading", prepare to be disappointed...

Hey! I remember that post! Ahhh...reminds me of the good ol days!

Ok, maybe those days weren't so good....but I do remember that post!

I'm just appreciative that a creator comes onto these...

You actually had a good story plot going with this up until that ending...so hard to stick the landing!

Ultimately, Brevoort concluded, “This all comes back to a slogan that I’ve been threatening to put onto a T-Shirt for many years now, but have never actually bothered to do: COMICS: DYING SINCE 1935.“

I would suggest the friend head to the local library and try whatever catches their eye. Most have it so you can search their website.

Often the TPB will suggest other things to read if you like...

I believe it can, too! Looking forward to how things play out...

She's not the same character, so should she look the same way as when she was first introduced by Steve Ditko?

Aunt May used to look like living rigor mortis under Ditko. And, yes, I know that...
