Didn't they have ASM coming out 3 times a month during the beginning of BND? That always seemed like a desperate tactic to stave off any potential lost sales after OMD. So I guess this is par for the course.Originally Posted by Kevinroc
Spectators are carrying this run hard. That's why they've gone overboard with variant covers.

It’s comic shops fault. Buying/ordering so many copies. There are two comic shops in the city I live/work, and I’ve seen how they just have tons of un-sold Amazing issues from this run sitting on their shelves and regulated to discount boxes in BOTH stores.
Marvel? Just restore Ben, give him an ongoing Scarlet Spider series, and maybe, just maybe, I will ponder giving you more of my hard earned money.
Oh wait; I still haven’t forgotten/forgiven them for that mishandling of T’Challa this past year in his own book either.
The money I have saved….Last edited by Blanks; 05-31-2023 at 12:45 PM.

Can't really read the numbers. Is the case being made that ASM is being supported by stores inflating the sales by buying extra to get variants? Originally Posted by Kevinroc

Yup, so...either Marvel is propping up the run with variants or they have decided to market their comics solely to collectors and speculators like they did in the 90's. Just like they did... Originally Posted by Kurus

This is for Amazing Spider-Man only. I don't know if the same is happening to other series'. Originally Posted by Jman27

One of the worst Spider-Man stories ever.
Top 5 worst Spider-Man comic.
The other nefarious being One More Day, One Moment in Time, Sins Past and Superior Spider-Man.

also, I'd rate the retcon to sins Past as worse than Sins Past. Originally Posted by Jman27

I found the Superior thing so wrong from the beggining to the end, specially the second one where Otto tried to rape Mary Jane. Originally Posted by Jman27
