August 15, 2008 8:25 am i really enjoyed this comic and arc, and am really looking forward to new ways to die.  i wasn't surprised by the kraven reveal, but i like that they are bringing that character's legacy back.  i enjoy the increased concentration on peter parker, his life, and building the supporting cast (in this arc vin, his roommate).  i think the art in this issue and bnd in general has been great.  

August 14, 2008 3:47 pm i must be slow, but i didn't understand what was going on in the comic and don't really understand it much better after your review.  i don't get the Zur-en-arrh stuff, and i don't really understand what bat-mite said.

I'm very confused...

I guess my opinion is that long term dc fans will love this book, but casual/newer dc fans like me will be a bit lost.  i only know barry allen from crisis on infinite earths, so just seeing him didn't make me excited.  There are sooooo many plot lines going on in this book, it is hard to follow at times.  i am not sure why in a 7 issue mini morrison feels the need to bring in so many different things.  i mean why did he feel this need to bring in all of the heros from japan?  

i thought the detective (turpin?) met darkseid in human form last issue - i get that he lost his memory somehow because he is still looking for the children, but then the guy he met in bludhaven said the had a new body for kalibak - his son?  isn't that darseid's son?  

i will have to read it a couple more times i guess - i have read it 2xs already and still very confused...

i agree i didn't like this arc as much as slott's last one, but i still enjoyed it.  i much prefer the occasional campy entertaining story to the months of "aunt may is dying what can i do?" that we had last year.  i think they have been doing a good job mixing the funny and serious and really have enjoyed the tone of BND.

the anti-smoking stuff has got to go - i get quesada's no smoking deal, which i am fine with, and last week's issue was ok, but 2 issues of the guy coughing every time he talks was enough - i don't need the no smoking lecture every week.

Anyway, enjoyed the 2 issue arc, looking forward to the next issue written by 3 writers - sounds cool.

i have been introducing some comics to wife over the past couple years - she prefers non-superhero stuff.  1st read Y the last man, which she totally loved.  she didn't really care for ex machina.  enjoyed persepolis and fun home.  we just read the alias trades which she liked as well.  I think i will try Runaways or strangers in paradise next - love this thread, if anyone has more book suggestions for me that would be great - thanks!

June 4, 2008 2:07 pm i can't figure out how to write a review either, but here goes, i will try to avoid spoilers.

May 23, 2008 3:18 pm i LOVE this series and think everyone should be reading it, but i have to agree with patio a bit about the 5 star rating.

May 22, 2008 2:49 pm i agree with your hating of this character, but i didn't find anything interesting about this issue - same old sentry whining and now the void is back - I DON'T CARE!

May 22, 2008 2:39 pm another great slott/martin issue - definitely my POW as well - any spidey fan should pick this up!
