Bio: I'm English, 24, have been reading comics for about ten years. Mostly I read Marvel (I started with Spider-man and went from there), but I do have some Image, IDW and Vertigo books too. Y: The Last Man is my favourite series. Recently I''ve been getting into DC, and loving Green Lantern and Rucka's Detective Comics.

    February 13, 2013 5:35 am I really liked it, I can understand why those who wanted an never to do undone death were disappointed, but overall we got a new status quo and the title was fulfilled. Not the strongest issue of series, but there were some great iconic moments.
    January 8, 2013 5:34 pm Ron, may I ask what your opinion would be of a book where the Juggernaught and Scott Summers swap bodies, and characters like Jean Grey and Beast don't notice? And where we are ask to see Juggernaught in a heroic light for committing the identity theft?
    January 8, 2013 3:15 pm I did say "some fans", and when I said "we" I as refering to those you had voice upset, not everyone. If you enjoyed the story, please continue to enjoy it. I would just like Marvel to provide a product I enjoy. If I do not like Tony Daniel's Batman, I can buy Scott Snyder, if I don't like Avengers, I can read Uncanny or Ultimates. The comic industy offers choice, there is no where I can go to read the Spider-man stories I want to read. I have tried Dan Slott's revised version and I didn't like it. When 698 came out I was told to wait until 700, where his intentions would be clear. When 700 came out Marvel said wait for SSM 1, now on the eve of SSM 1 we're told it won't be until SSM 2 until the true story becomes clear.
    January 8, 2013 1:22 pm Great article, and a fun counter point to yesterday, I think it is important to show that some fans just don't care for this story, and while are not all making youtube videos and threats we have no interest in buying a product we don't think we'll enjoy, and miss a product we know we did enjoy. I believe in not judging a product until you've experienced it. I watched Twilight to ensure my opinion of it was correct, but we have had three issues now of this status que, and we know we don't like it,
    January 7, 2013 1:35 pm Kyle Chandler never crossed my mind, but now you've said it I won't see anyone else!
    January 7, 2013 1:29 pm I think there should be room for experiment and room for comfort food. Not one or the other. I love what Bendis is doing in Ultimate, but I don't have much faith in Slott to replicate that with Otto. I don't want experiments to solely be conducted outside the big two. The big two should be experimenting. I know Slott is interested in exploring the meta aspect of the reader hating spider-man as opposed to the marvel universe hating spider-man. We've switched places. This is an interesting idea, fun for a month or two, but as the only Spider-man title? They know that the only way to sell this is as the sole Spidey title, if it was a mini out of continuity to one would read it. I'm going to save my pennies and by an omnibus of back issues or something.
    January 7, 2013 1:17 pm This is one of the times I enjoy being a member of this site. I think the debate is lively, well thought out and respectful to those involved at Marvel. I've seen this topic turn to name calling in other places very quickly, and am glad we can keep it civil here.
    January 7, 2013 1:15 pm Spider-man and Wolverine have to be on the Avengers. Hickman said he had to use the movie 6+Those 2. It's unlikely that even if Spider-man is public enemy number one he won't appear in Avengers.
    January 7, 2013 12:24 pm May I play devils advocate for a moment and put the counter argument forward (however please note I do not condone the threats Dan Slott received, that was a little silly). The reason I am disappointed by this story is that I wish to buy a product Marvel are no longer selling, and saying that they have no plans to sell again (of course I don't believe them) but I would like to read a story about Peter Parker, the underdog of the Marvel universe. When Bruce Wayne or Steve Rogers died there where still stories being told with those characters in some form. At a time when Marvel are telling iconic stories with their other characters it seems an odd choice to put out a radical interpretation of their most iconic character. Do they think new readers, fans of the movies, will respond to this? I have no interest in reading it as an ongoing when money is tight. I will say the design of the covers and the art look amazing, but it is asking me to suspend too much disbelief that no one can tell the difference between Peter and Otto. Slott is not writing Otto mimicking Peter, he's Otto, and the Wolverine's and Daredevils of the world should figure this out quickly, MJ certainly should. It's a premise for an arc, not an ongoing.
