    I was about to search for a preview then I saw Slott's plea. Ok then. I'll go one better, before I flip the pages I cover the right-hand page with paper so that as I read the left-hand page my eyes won't inadvertently see the panels through my peripheral vision. It's a thing.

But this sadly has become the norm lately----any ideas as to why TPTB allow this?
    We usually get 3 or 4 pages, not 5. Something's not right here.

    Damn! Got to this thread after seeing the preview, otherwise I'd have skipped it. I will say that the preview looked excellent, both art and story.

    Dan the man, I'll avoid the preview and read it all in one go.

    Wouldn't want it any other way.

    I'm expecting something really memorable similar ASM#655.

    I was never the biggest fan of your run, but occasionally you produced something really great like Spider-Island, Superior Spider-Man or Go Down Swinging,... And you certainly left your mark on the Spider-Mythos.
