January 7, 2013 1:55 pm Sorry, BoyWonder1, for putting my main page reply in your thread. :-P Suffice to say, you can tell I am in your camp. I do not like the current storyline but at the same time, I am not losing my mind and concept of reality over it. With that said, I am dismayed that folks like you or I that do feel that this storyline is awesome are characterized as crazy newbies that don't know how comics work. Heaven forbid that we might disagree that the latest take on the character is less than wonderful.

January 7, 2013 1:26 pm Jim, I have been reading comics for over thirty years, have bought many more than two comics, and this current storyline still annoys me. And that is my right, just as it is yours and others' right to think this storyline is "superior" to other ones. I don't feel the same way, and it is not because I am some fresh-off-the-turnip-truck reader. I know this current path will all turn around in due time and that the Peter Parker will be back in Peter Parker's body again. However, in the meantime, I am not interested in reading about Doctor Octopus living in Peter Parker's body and will be responding as such with my dollars. I am not making death threats against anyone and clearly grasp that these are fictional characters. There are some of us that just think the storyline sucks. And as I do with other titles when I think the stories suck, I don't plan on buying it for awhile. However, please don't lump me with the crazies that are threatening bodily harm to Dan Slott, etc., over it. I just don't plan on buying any stories that are happening in the current vein. It is no doubt for reasons that other people have mentioned being dismayed - e.g., grossed out by old Ock cavorting with young Mary Jane; people close to Peter not immediately thinking something is off with him (though I am sure this is going to happen over time); or the implausibility that a villain that just last tried to burn the world down is now through some wacky mind-meld going to suddenly want to be a hero, even though he is still doing things like gloating immediately after having murdered one (??)). I also am annoyed by the fact that Peter in this treatment did not get a proper send off if he was going away (like he definitely did in the Ultimate universe), as well as annoyed by the marketing of this change with the villian-turned-hero somehow being a better Spider-man than the version that came before. Puke. Blah. No thanks, and I will see you all when the "real" Peter Parker comes back.

November 4, 2011 3:55 pm He could be taking it back. :-) Either way, like the character and will pick up the book. I liked someone's earlier suggestion that Bucky could reappear on the silver screen in a future Captain America movie as the Winter Soldier as well. That would be very cool indeed.

November 4, 2011 10:24 am Happy that Bucky/Winter Soldier/Captain America is not dead. Love the character, and I will read this book. Still think it is interesting though to go to through the business of faking one's death shortly after going on public trial for your activities as the Winter Soldier by then coming back afterwards as . . . *drumroll* the Winter Soldier. Yes, I read that article that this factor will be a point of tension in the ongoing storyline. LOL. But really, most people that fake their deaths don't assume a new identity as their old selves . . . no matter how undercover you may be.
