Happenstance Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Its because the editor of Spider-Man, Joe Quesada hated the marriage and said it aged the character too much. So he decided to wipe out whole chunks of Spider-Man history that fans cared about because he didnt like one aspect. It wasnt just even the one more day/brand new day crap. It was all the JMS stuff before it like "The Other" and the craptastic "Sins Past" along with attempting to change Spider-Mans origin to mystical.

ReZourceman Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I think they are still working that into it. On the recent (this week) IGN Spidey comics interview, one of the questions was "What about Spideys new powers....we havnt seen them" and the answer was "Havn't seen them...yet."

Happenstance Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Wait but didnt his organic webbing disappear with Brand New Day? And if thats the case then shouldnt his other new powers have gone aswell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Yeah....thats a good point. But maybe A) They might mix and match B) They might bring back organic webbing C) The Spidey editor who said that in the interview is a dirty liar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Meh, its all just stupid anyway. I'll stick with Ultimate Spider-Man now until 616 Spidey is somehow fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Maybe you should jump on at "New Ways to Die" starting in Autumn. (You've prob heard...but the return of Venom and Green Goblin into Petes life) (Or pick up the TPBs) Honestly, I know they raped it at the beginning, but by not reading it your screwing yourself out of some really good stories. And a LOT of new villains, which is brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I tried getting back into it a few months ago but I just couldnt, it bored me. Ive still got a few issues around here somewhere that I havent read. Ive heard people say its getting better but the lack of quality isnt really why im not buying it. I just dont want to give them my money anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Watched hellboy, it has to be one of the worst movies i've ever seen, it goes from nazis opening a portal or sum shit, to a big red dude kickin some ass, to a big red dude getting jealous and talking to a kid on a roof about relationships, to more kickin ass, and a cheesy ending line. Not good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Watched hellboy, it has to be one of the worst movies i've ever seen, it goes from nazis opening a portal or sum shit, to a big red dude kickin some ass, to a big red dude getting jealous and talking to a kid on a roof about relationships, to more kickin ass, and a cheesy ending line. Not good! Right... ------ They should have just killed Mary Jane in Spider-Man, seriously. If they wanted to get rid of her. I mean, what's the point of the last 15+ years of reading Spider-Man if they just pretend it never happened. I don't care that the stories are amazing, they could have just done them after the obligatory mourning arc after MJ would have been killed. It feels a bit like having Aunt May shit all over my face, this whole deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 A few that i don't think have been mentioned: Constantine The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Darkman I liked Constantine, LXG was okay-ish as long as you've never read the books and Darkman is pretty cheesy.
