Amazing Spider-Man Ends With Issue #700

[mattttherman3]

Wow, that's pretty AMAZING hehehehehehehehehe Hopefully the new comic will be SUPERIOR hehehehehehehehehehe to the last. Maybe Peter will stay dead. Probably not though. Btw, the only real reboots in NEW 52 seemed to be the Superman Family and The Flash, they didn't even touch Green Lantern or Batman, well BARELY anyway.

As bad as I realise this is gonna sound, I'm going with it anyway.

I am a long time comic reader (28 years plus) now and have long ago given up trying to buy the monthly issues of a book like Spiderman because it is draining financially and time-draining. Admittedly I still buy a lot of the collected books and graphic novels but it's much easier to do so. Another reason I don't do it any more is that although I'm ashamed to admit it it has just become too hard for me to keep up with Marvel continuity. Torrents will get you part of the way there but I personally don't like downloading it unless I'm going to buy it. (This is not a comment on the ethics of downloading, just a personal preference.)

So-called "New beginnings" like this one do serve two purposes however. The advertising involved inevitably draws old readers back to check out the new arc, and also begins a partially new continuity in that the reader doesn't necessarily need to know ALL of the details of the current continuities.

Bottom line: While I often see these sorts of things as an amoral cash-grab, they often sort of re-spark my curiosity for the books in question.

Ultimate Spider-Man dying and getting replaced was a downer, this just sounds weird. People already disliked one Spider-Man dying, they had to have seen this coming. I don't read 'em, but still.

 

[Beryl77]

OT: Pfft, yeah right. They'll never follow through with this. A few months and Peter Parker will return in some weird, badly explained way.

 

[InaquiTheArgentinian]

This has to be tha single most stupid idea i have ever heard.i bet Stan lee had an hearth attack. srly this is 10 times what Alan moore feel with watchmen.

 

[Gottesstrafe]

I can imagine the writers and executives listening to a Spider Man version of this song:

 

[Tono Makt]

If they hadn't done the craptastic "One More Day" Storyline, I might be willing to say "I'll give this one a chance." But since I read "One More Day", my "give this one a chance" card got used up. I'll wait a few years then look back to see if this worked or not. Maybe when they bring it out in the bargain bins at ComicCons or Fan Expo, where I can pick up the entire run for about $10.

 

[wottabout]

it will be like a bad fanfiction fusion between fight club and spiderman, where doc peterpus (?) will commit crimes and beat himself up in a parking lot into giving up.

full with superpowered self wedgies.

That actually sounds kind of amazing, in an awful sort of way. And I am definitely calling him Doc Peterpus from now on.

The neighborhood friendly Spidy has been going through some really weird shit, hasn't he?

Just see movie Bob's stuff about him. Sells away his marriage to MJ to the devil, without negative repurcussions. Appearing and disappearing daughter. Impossible to follow continuity.

I have a silver age fan buddy that is going to hit the roof!

That's what I mean though!

He's practically one of the few main Marvel characters that goes through the weirdest and dumbest crap.

Poor Spidy can't catch a break.

I just wrote all my nerd buddies with a link to this writing, "they just outa have turned his costume black again... or something.

Seriously.

I'm having horrible flashbacks of when Spidy and Wolverine switched bodies, for some reason, and Wolverine was hitting on MJ.

*Shudders*

"This will get retconned. This will get retconned to the sun. Twice."

-- My first thoughts upon finishing to read the story

 

[emeraldrafael]

Yeah I dont care. This will most likely be poorly received, they'll retcon or something and bring parker back and we'll be back where we were after a huge mess.

the story itself is interesting, or at least the idea on some level. but it will run its novelty course quickly i would think.

 

[TecnoMonkey]

Despite Spidey being my favorite super hero I don't read his comics, or any comic series for that matter and today I'm glad I don't because I would probably be infuriated by this... dumb... assinine idea. Does Marvel not like money? I thought Amazing Spider-Man was already a bad title (really, why have the Amazing there), but SUPERIOR Spider-Man... so not only are they using a stupid idea for their new comic, but they are also using a worse title that manages to shit on one of the most beloved super heroes ever.

 

[gorfias]

Seriously.

*Shudders*

I got that beat regarding Spidey... how about the time he... naw. Nope. Shudder. That freaks me out too! I'd still love to read it. Wolverine with Spiderman's powers. Interesting.

It's kinda cool, but it's just super creepy and Wolverine was totally creeping on MJ.

And to think they had a good thing going after One More Day with Amazing Spiderman.

NOPE!

 

[Redd the Sock]

Yeah, been there, done that, got the stopwatch out. Granted I think this will last longer than some of the shorter term shakeups to the status quo which lasted 2 months, but I'll be shocked if Pete's not back by 2014. We're being trolled by the marketing again, and while it doesn't make this any less stupid, any reader of Marvel for the last 30 years looks at a death and asks "how long do you think this will last?"

Heck, I might be forgiving of this had it been a better villain. Ock's spent a lot of time in a very one dimensional place. He could beat Spidey easily, but has spent too much time on the "I'm crazy so I'll conquer the world" side of villainy for me to see him with any depth. Eddie Brock, Harry Osborne, Norman Osborne, Kaine (reformed now) those might make things interesting. Doc Ock, It's going to be hard to see any new moral view as anything but forced.

 

[faefrost]

hang on guys...
there's a pharse on the tip of my tongue...
oh yeah!!!
COMICS
ARE
WEEEIIIIIRRRRDDDDDDD!!!!

Sums it up pretty well...

That was my thought. This sounds as bad and as idiotic as the Clone Sage. The online comic cliche more stupid than clones is "body switching". This is why I stopped giving them my money monthly.

 

[Ironbat92]

Meh, Peter will be back. I give him a year or two. Remember, Comic Book characters die and come back all the time.
