    His DD is great. Not sure how that would translate to ASM.
    Yeah his DD is amazing I'm unsure if that run will end in time to take over for Spencer. And the spider man he writes is a pretty serious one mainly cause the book itself is serious. I wouldn't mind Zdarksy to take over. Loved his life story honestly if he can do that to the main storyline I be set.

    He has plans till 50 in a recent interview.I think he may do both.
    I don't want Mackay at all.
    I really hope it's a serious Spidey. Even in DD he quips so its not him being humourless.

    I understand if you don't like the content of them but what does that have to do with pacing?
    Also everyone has been complaining that his run is too slow.
    when rapid shipping affects the quality of the book, yes getting more issues is bad, the art is comically inconsistent, they lost ryan ottley, an artist so perfect for asm it didn't feel real, and the entire structure of the run and its arcs is horrendous and rigid to get more issues out and hit nonsensical milestones

    I wonder if Ottley and Ramos will contribute to the final issue.

    The writing is fine imo.I agree about the art.
    Also didn't Ryan say he lost interest.
    The structure is not as bad.This is exageratting

    I think overall Spencer's run could be solid, if uneven, and the art got kind of progressively inconsistent as it went along and plots maybe didn't develop as well as they did.

    It was also a run that read way better in trade.

    All this.
    And the fact that this entire run will depend on the ending.
    If he lands the ending it will be a good run going to great but if he messes it it will terrible.

    Ottley probably lost interest because they had him doing literally nothing of note, so he was unable to feel any ownership of the title. His last full arc was a good Gog thing, but also a Gog thing.

    When the structure of the run is that every arc needs to be 3 issues, it will eventually become very clear that most arcs shouldn't be 3 issues. Stories were constantly getting dragged out to meet that quota, and EXTRA issues outside of the main numbering had to be made because 3 issues weren't enough. I don't know how to get across how terrible that is. I'll be lenient on Spencer and say it's editorial's fault because this hasn't happened with a Spencer book before, but plotting each arc with these rigid issue numbers to hit milestone issues precisely and bending and stretching the stories to fit that so you can get more money out of people is bad. And terrible planning. Even if somehow it was Spencer's idea to **** people's wallets over, good editors would've stopped it. So it was probably editorial's fault that Spencer's good ideas barely ever got to be executed well and it's absolutely their fault every artist got screwed over.

    Here is my problem: Nick Spencer said “I know the beginning, middle and end.” I would also note the fact that Editorial let him write Hydra Cap ( despite knowing it would be controversial). I think that instead of finishing off Kindred two years ago, Spencer basically “Bit off more than he can chew” and kept adding layers and layers to the story until you get sick of it. Can he give us a good ending by doing away with OMD without killing MJ? Yes. If he decides to go the Christmas Carol, It’s A Wonderful Life or Butterfly Effect route. But if he teases and does not deliver ( think Strange and Mephisto panel) like say Slott did with Jackpot instead of MJ then the run has to be considered the most disappointing ( although not the worst) in Peter’s history.

    Question

    I had high hopes for this run when I was tempted back by the Kindred buildup. Overall, thus far, it has been average or 2.5 out of 5 stars for me (nothing bad nothing great either, solid). Great, if not phenomenal, buildup with lackluster payoffs, IMO. I hope Spencer gets a chance to address Kindred that they don't leave the plot thread of "Peter's greatest sin he doesn't remember" dangling. If they do leave it out there, I freely admit, I'll be disappointed. *crosses fingers*

    Edit - On the upside (hopefully) no more prominent "buddy" Boomerang. *yay*

    No, like I said, it's for Dark Ages. Someone mentioned Taylor having an announcement coming, and that was it, so it wasn't ASM.
