Amazing Spider-Man writer Dan Slott recently told a poster at the Comic Book Resources Spider-Man forum to go F-themselves. A poster by the name of lejayjay had a snarky comment about Slott saying
It is jus a paycheck for Slott anyway. He’s not a real fan.
Slott then replied with this comment.
As a guy who turned down a side job this year for a paycheck that would’ve been over a third of his yearly income– BECAUSE it would’ve meant cutting back on his not-so-lucrative comic book writing career– and get in the way of working on his Spider-Man dream job…
…and the guy who slept less than 12 hours over the course of 4 days this week working on a script while he was sick… a guy who finally had to be ORDERED off it by his editor to go see a doctor… and is still in a good deal of pain today…
…this is the first time I think I’ve ever said this to somebody over a comic book message board:
Go fuck yourself.
Seriously.
Go. Fuck. Yourself.
Now I post this not to bring up the Slott/ Crawlspace disagreement again, but it opens a good point of discussion.
Should the pro’s be held to a different standard when it comes to online behavior?
Should they bite their tongues?
Are they risking future sales to an already small audience, when they tell a potential or current customer to go f-themselves?
I’d like your thoughts in the comment section or on this thread on our message board. Remember no personal attacks, keep it civil. Refresh yourselves on the rules before you post.

I just don’t feel like scrolling back that far.
NWTD Part II…
Anyway, I don’t feel Marvel hates anyone in particular. I think some fans think Marvel is more obtuse in their overall thinking. Hatred…naw…
Me, I just wonder why you won’t answer the post #421…c’mon, only how many days until pitchers report to spring training???
For the record, I’m cool with incoherence. I speak the language.
@563
“Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Marvel Propaganda”
Wow. That’s… very clever. And by “very clever” I mean that makes no sense. That comment makes as much sense as the homeless guy outside my building who sometimes yells at the voices in his head. Maybe I’m just not smart enough to understand it. How long did it take you to come up with that brilliant witticism? 😐
If you’re going to continually launch tirades against Wacker (who seems like he’s left anyway) at least make it funny and semi-coherent. 🙂
@562: 401 was horrible and such. Crossfire. (part two) Mindscrew with Judas Traveller.
How deeply do you think Marvel hates you? Does it know any end? I mean, just how bad are we?
Meanwhile, has no one noticed Slott’s “suggestion”
was and is extremely redundant, since marvel is
already doing “that” to us?
#564 POV or as BD would say POS!
@498. What part of my post “offended” you? Was it the pig comment, or the heat in kitchen thingy? Maybe it was because I forgot to say “wait until next century”?
Good to see that the internet is keeping it fresh. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Marvel Propaganda has no place in comics.
Amazing Spider-Man #563: More stupid BND. And The Bookie. Terrific stuff. Loss of readers at that point was 40,000+.
@DMaynor
I should’ve said since #401. I don’t even know what that was.
Two Bit – I wasn’t a fan of the Clone Saga but many here seemed to enjoy it. As for issue 400, it was a great issue. A heartfelt story that ended with the death of Aunt May.
@CrazyChris – I seem to recall you reviewing some of these fictitious ASM issues.
#544 – “It all goes downhill from here.”
We’ve been going downhill since #400, to be honest. Has there ever been a time since then when ASM was a soaring success?
… or rather, that was three issues ago. This issue: Part 1 of “Peter Parker, Paparazzi”, unfortunately titled, “The Money Shot”, introducing Screwball and Paper Doll.
@ 553 Thought I made it clear I was just joking. A couple of folks got their posts in before I did, so I decided to make a joke out of it. I’m not out to infringe on anybody. Sorry if I didn’t make that obvious. Now, if we’re still on #556…
This issue: Spidey takes lessons from Vern the bum on how to stay warm in a blizzard by stuffing his costume with newspaper!
@Alex, I may be suffering from selective amnesia. For some reason I thought ASM ended at issue 545.
Early BND was, for the most part, terrible. Remember such winners as Freak, Jackpot, the Bookie and Menace. However, I think we’re in the ‘Sometimes it Snows in April (?)’ storyline by Zeb Wells which I liked a lot though. I like stories where Spidey has to brave the elements.
@554. It was something about Dan going to say something but he got smashed over the head by a brick and things seemed to happen from there. I think…
And @CrazyChris, we’re still 100 issues off current ASM issues? You get your issues mixed up there ;)?
Now that we’re into BND…I can’t remember what started all this. Its like there’s a blindspot in my head whenever I think about it. I remember Dan Slott and…Dman. There it is again…
It’s not a game to “beat” people. Merely a game. Don’t post for the sake of “beating” others.
Making his triumphant debut here in the Mighty Marvel Manner, our webslinging wonder’s most fearsome foe to date… Freak?
Part 2 of Menace’s introduction. Aha, beat you!
Beaten to the finshing line again! Curse you Richards!
Hey I got Menace and Jackpot!
Wow, we finally got more posts then there are issues of ASM. Where does the game go from here?
@ 542 For that pun, you must die…
544: Part One of “One More Day”…
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Part 1 of OMD. At least I’m not Part 4…
Issue 544 First part of One More Day… it all goes down hill from here
@540: Now that’s a reply! (But do you support Humberto like you do Slott?)
@531: Oh yeah, well, why don’t you make like a tree and leaf!
I know you are, but what am I?
Na na na na na… I can’t hear you… la la la la la
543 – The issue before OMD
This is amazing (see what I did there?).
This is the epic beatdown between Spidey and Kingpin.
And I basically agree with Robot 6 here.
Wow we’re getting close to OMD!
Dan Slott got through most of the day without cursing today, if anyone’s interested. Humberto didn’t make it though…Man! What language!
Kevin, you’re projecting. I don’t look down on you, but now I know how you feel about me and I think it’s a shame.

@ #534:
As the long, long wait for a straight answer from the guy drags on and on and on and…
As he quietly simmers about “one annoying thing about Canada”.
Namely, WE won Olympic hockey gold and you didn’t 🙂
Be good sports/neighbours and get over it, already, and learn to
spell neighbours correctly while you’re at it, eh? Always complaining
aboot something…
Good call Kev…
@ #533:
Dang it, man!! “Spoiler Alert”!!
Citizen Kane is about a sled…but it’s not ABOUT a sled.
@Mr. Wacker’s response in #525 – I disagree. Spider-Man is about responsibility, not youth. It’s not “with great power, comes great youth”, y’ know. 😉
@ #513:
Oh, yeh? How’d you like to step outside, take off your coat and get lost? 😛
@525 Wacker: Spider-Man is not about youth before the end of #545. LOL
Re 525
Huh?
I’m confused how that statement ties into the conversation…it seemed a bit random…
Bah! Beaten to the post! James 1, I command you to go f— yourself! (kidding, of course, I don’t want to get banned)
Ooooh, we’re on part 3 of “The Other”, guest-written by Peter David and pencilled by Mike Deodato Jr, with a Ben Reilly Spider-‘jamas variant cover by the late, great Mike Wieringo (RIP Ringo), and featuring Tracer, the self-proclaimed god of machines! Where is that guy these days anyway? The Hypno-Hustler has more appearences to his name than him at this point…
Spider-Man returns from the dead after shedding his skin. ASM 527
Spider-Man is about youth.
Will this stop before #546?? If not, it will be a new alternate posting timeline and I refuse to read any more of it. Even if the number of posts per hour are three-doubled. We already have the rotating crew of writers. And continuity and characterization is good so far. Looking forward to Peter bringing he Kingpin Down!
wow, just when I started buying big time, now I’m regretting it more and more. First was Norah talking about Randy’s enourmous something, now this.
We’re 1% the way toward surpassing ASM’s direct market sales estimates!
So what happens to the issue number game when we surpass current issues of spidey? Ive got we’ll make our own stories, better stories, and they’ll have Black Jack and Hookers, infact forget the stories and the Black Jack, ahhh screw the whole thing.
Bertone,
Don’t waste your time on the kid. He doesn’t have any respect for the staff of the site or me. I just banned his IP again.
