Urk–can someone fish my last comment out of the spam filter?
Guess this keeps getting spam-filtered.
You guys talk about Judas Traveler, and how the whole story with him didn’t seem like a Spider-Man story (I agree–DeMatteis loves his god-like omniscient villains), or a story someone wrote for another character and used with Spider-Man. Of course, Kraven’s Last Hunt itself started out as a pitched story by JMD for Wonder Man, then Batman.
But good points regarding the replacement character stuff, then and now. I suppose the Marvel PTB would say that there is a much bigger audience for that now, and they’re having a lot more success with it.
I hope you guys do the Ben Reilly Spider-Man years soon, particularly the Dan Jurgens run. Best thing to come out of that era, in my opinion.
Great show guys. I started reading comics in 1996 as a four year old in Australia were I bought comics from a news agency. I had no clue of all the background going ons of the comic industry at the time. And still don’t know a great deal. Over the years I’ve picked up a few bits of info and it really is an intreating subject and hearing the 3 of you talk about it makes for fascinating and entertaining listening. i love hearing about spider history in this period! Because it feels like the industry really just boomed and than disintegrated very fast.
