"The rules of regeneration are known!"
"Sorry, what did you say? Did you mention the rules? Now, listen. A bit of advice: tell me the truth if you think you know it,
lay down the law if you're feeling brave, but never ever tell me the rules!!"
Any month without a Queenpin Black Cat mention/appearance is a good month .
Also...primer pages have been confirmed for Renew Your Vows.
Does that mean Bagley gets to draw Spinerett and Annie?
It might also mean we get some damn clarification on the timeline of this series.
So, ASM is back to once a month now?

How much work goes into being a consultant for the Marvel cartoons? I assumed Slott's role ended early into production once they had everything set for season 1.
I know Bendis was a consultant for USM but it didn't seem to effect his work output any. But he may have been less involved on that show.

Thoughts:
- Didn't Kraven make himself killable again in Scarlet Spider? I guess they need to give an excuse why he can go toe-to-toe with Venom.
- Well, let's get this Mockingbird romance over with...though I think Alex Ross has done better kissing covers (like the Avengers one).
- I would be so hyped for that Jameson interview issue of Spec but I just don't really know how I feel about Zdarsky writing it .
- "If you thought the end of the first SPIDER-MEN series was huge, brace yourself." I dunno, considering how much of an anti-climax that ending turned out to be, I'm not getting my hopes up.
- Again, no mention of Queenpin Black Cat is always a good thing .
Given how things have been shaking down, I expect the revelation at the end of Spider-Men II to be that many Ultimate characters are still around. Including but not limited to the revived Peter Parker, Mary Jane Watson, Gwen Stacy, Aunt May, etc.
If that happens...then who wants to take a bet Issue 800 culminates in the deaths of every bastardised 616 character and they're replaced by the Ultimate versions?
Core Marvel gets their teenage Peter, perfectly timed with the world established in Homecoming, while older Peter fans get back the "right" Peter when the RYV Parkers come to town.
I like to wish really, really hard.
