Chip is the best. This is something I was always wanted to see. Jameson taking responsibility for his actions. 34 years as well. Like how can you fund a murderer and get away with it. A pairing that I don't see enough with Jonah and Norman but interesting nonetheless. I really love Chips writing he makes me care about Jameson.

This was a good annual, it fit seamlessly with the main Spider-Man Life Story issues and featured unexpected turns. That bit with Carroll I didn't see until the end.

It was however unexpectedly sad and bitter though. That speech Carroll gave was quite sharp.Last edited by Revolutionary_Jack; 08-25-2021 at 08:50 AM.

Zdarsky was offered Amazing but turned it down because he felt he didn't have a good enough story to tell.
I'm okay with this. I loved his Spectacular run, but the best things he has been doing with the Character has been in AU. Life Story is just a classic Spider-Man story and is probably in my top 3.

Really, when did he say this? Originally Posted by FFJamie94

Not really. At least as an end to the arc and for a purported milestone issue. Originally Posted by Spiderfan001

Chip's Spec introduced Theresa Parker, right? Not a fan.
But I loved the issue Peter e Jonah sit down and talk.

I don't know if it was for Amazing, but he has said he had been offered to continue writing Spider-Man, and he turned it down. Originally Posted by Spiderfan001

Yeah, he brought her back, but he didn't create her. Before, it wasn't even certain if that OGN was canon. Originally Posted by Jman27

Yeah, I think he liked the character. Regardless, that OGN is where I usually recommend People start with Modern Spider-Man.
