@PeterParkerfan: I know, man! And releasing “The Wedding Album” has to be
the height of hypocrisy!!
Are they seriously calling Brand New Day “The most celebrated era in modern Spider-history”!? Ew.
That being said, Spider-Man: Unforgiven looks interesting. I’ve always been a sucker for Spidey taking on mythical threats.
So many books, but so little I actually care about. That’s… Strange.
So they are milking that mystery crap for even longer now. Was supposed to be resolved by the end of dark web. Now we got another 2 extra issue (at least)
Man a lot of duds here. Looks like Carange is maybe getting a new writer? Also idk what story they are going to make up for why they are broken up now but I doubt it will be worth any payoff
@Oliver
Oh, don’t worry, they don’t need other crap to produce crap. They’re very capable of doing it independently of the quality of the source material.
Just who in the world wanted a Hallow’s Eve series? Doesn’t bode well for Ben that she’s on the run and (seemingly) alone though. This, and Red Goblin, will be on my skip list.
I only hope that nobody at Sony believes for one second that all that Spider-man crap published by Marvel for the last 15 years, can be turned into a movie or TV series.
