It seems to me that there are a lot of people who are not enjoying this particular volume of ASM, or at least they are not enjoying it as much as they have previous runs/works of the series. While I was reading the latest issue, a thought occurred to me that I want to throw out: would you enjoy this status quo more if it were a limited series and not the ongoing narrative?
Personally, I draw a comparison between this and Superior Spider-Man. While I like the idea of Superior, and I think it's a decent series, I did not enjoy having it be the primary ongoing status quo for Spidey. I would've liked to have seen it be a secondary title, with classic Spidey in his regular setting being the primary flagship book. I realize that would've changed the whole story drastically, but I think you get my point.
I also got to thinking about Renew Your Vows, which featured a very different status-quo to the one that we've generally had for the past decade, but it was a limited story with a very clear beginning, middle, and end. It didn't take up the main slot for too long, and it was in no way a permanent thing.
To sum this all up, I have found that while I don't mind the whole CEO of Parker Industries setting as an idea, it's not what I would love to see for the ongoing primary status quo as it currently is. I am wondering if this story had been given the "Renew Your Vows Treatment" with a limited series that has a beginning, middle and end, would people be more accepting of it?
