I hate to say this, but Spidey has officially become my most hated comic of all time.
It's almost like it's the testbed for bullshit plot twists in the MU.
Until they fix the damage that started with "One More Day", I'm done with this book.

I haven't bothered with Spidey comics since One More Day. Marvel pretty clearly doesn't give a shit about the character outside of movies and lunchboxes and pajamas and dental dams. Spider-Man is more of a brand than a character.
But yeah, this latest "permanent, no seriously we mean it this time, why are you laughing" plot development is completely stupid.

Also, I Googled it to read spoilers, not even thinking, and put in AMS 700 just like holeman typed it, rather than ASM 700.
I'd say don't do it, but you will now. ;D

Thinking about it, it's actually a good metaphor for what it seems they've done with Spidey. ;D

Remember that old animated Spider-Man episode where all the alternate Spider-Men teamed up. They had a Doc Ock Spidey.

All that was was that particular Spidey wearing Ock's tentacles. Not this fucking Doc Ock taking over his body bullshit.
Actually not that I think of it I have had a Spidey toy with Ock tentacles from that episode. Had a LOT of Spideys from that show back in the day. Good times.

I remember one Christmas my parents got me a battle damaged Spidey with an opening web-backpack and a camera that you could put on his belt in the middle of the waist. Played with it literally the entire day.
Ah dammit now I want to go looking for it. Doubt I still have it though.

I've now read this comic. I really am at a loss. It's just so horrible. It makes me sad that the people who write SHIT like this know about it a year or two before we do, and with all that time to think about it still think it's worth doing. I can already see how it's going to resolve itself. Fucking colostomy bag writers.

But it's written by Dan Slott, I think. I haven't read much of his stuff but he's normally pretty good, and one of few writers in comics who remembers that they're supposed to be FUN. He did a short lived "Thing" series a while back that was great. That he would go in for such a convoluted mess of a story is a real bummer.
Then again, I haven't read the comic. Then again again, I don't really want to.

If the story of Spider-man (peter parker)was going to end no matter what, I think it could have been much worse. We're talking about a comic full of stupid ideas (clones, symbiotes, extra arms, wall-sticking cars...), but it's just so bonkers it's fun. I much prefer this over having Mephisto literally retcon a great story because the succeeding writer didn't know what to do.

Back in Black was the last Spidey story I bought (other than New Ways to Die but that was a gift) and it was really good. Seemed to have gone straight downhill from there though. Oh well Peter beating the living fuck out of Kingpin in BiB was so epic.

I concur. That was awesome. The art has never been as good as when Garney was drawing it. He really knocked it the fuck out of the park.

Yeah, Necro pointed out some things and I'm really not so bothered by it anymore. Not that I was terribly invested in Spidey the last many years anyway. I do like that Slott is enjoying pissing people off so much. ;D He's right, too, it keeps them interested. Good article.
