It was revolting. Also, Ben did NOT work. I like him as a character now, but at the time it was just so stupid. But Kaine was cool even if his weird veiny design was ugly.

It's not even unqiue to Japan either, Japan has this issue on steroid but most of American actresses won't find good jobs after they go near 35. Most get Mom acts after they hit 44~45.
Kane was so Spawny it's funny. They really wanted to bank on MacFarlane's previous association with Spider-Man. He's the most likeable clone tho. That big clone guy who died at the end of the saga was horrible.
Just pick something outta 90s Vertigo and you're good to go
I cant believe they seriously considered revealing that the Peter you have been reading about for years was actually a clone.
But I also think they had no idea what they were doing half the time back then.
But it brought my best boy Norman back so I am eternally grateful it ended as it did.
It was for the purpose of getting rid of boring adult married Peter in favour of swingin' single Ben Reilly.
Everyone at Marvel was fine with jettisoning 20 years of continuity if it mean turning Peter into a child again. At this rate they might physicall de-age him at some point.
They didn't just consider it. Ben was the original for months. And the internet was brand new, we had wizard to eventually tell most people that peter was coming back.
I know they did it. But my mind cant really comprehend that they intended to stick with the Peter as the clone idea forever.
Although this is the company that had Peter sell his marriage to the devil, just so he could be a swingin single again.
So all bets are off.
I fundamentally disagree with the idea that married Peter would suddenly become boring or impossible to write for.
Superman has been married for twenty years plus at this point.
And it didn't slow him down any.
Marvel are full of shite on this matter.

At the end of the day, Liefeld didn't create Deadpool. He created a Deathstroke knock off with big guns and zero personality. Joe Kelly created Deadpool by taking Liefeld's joke of a character and adding personality to him.
Marvel was so afraid of peter getting old that the royally fucked him up many times.
the true answer the their problem is Miles. Not ruining Peter.
This is true. Miles can be as free and single as they want.
Let Peter be married. Let him have a kid.
In my mind this opens up vast new narrative options that haven't been explored with Spider-man yet. It doesn't close them.
I have this wild hope that Kindred is Peter's child that Norman stole years ago grown up and pissed off. Wont happen. But boy would it be interesting.
I'm behind on Spidey. Maybe I should catch up now that kindred may be revealed.
Just a warning (?): don't expect there to be a lot of kindred hints or reveals during your catch up
Its been a fun ride, even if the Kindred reveal has been dragged on too long.
Its looking like the reveal is happening in the same story as the Green Goblin coming back in a few issues. We know Kindred is related somehow to both Norman and Peter and he's pissed off at both, but that about all we know lol.
Ugh that's why I stopped. "Here's a mystery! We will provide no clues and we're gonna drag it out." Why drag out a mystery if your audience gets no real tease.
I just don't care about Kindred that much. Whenever he shows up I just go "oh cool". Luckily for me the non-kindred stuff still manages to entertain
I can see how it's frustrating for someone really invested in the mystery though. For me there's just not enough to go on beyond the possibility of him/her reversing OMD somehow
It isn't true there have been no clues. Its just they have been spread pretty far apart.
His interactions with Norman give away quite a bit. But we just don't know enough to actually put two and two together.
Till issue 30 everything is great, the hints are there and kindred is not going into all issues calling peter out in the shadows and cursing him. But starting from issue 30 things get a bit clumsy. Tho Spencer is a GREAT character writer, and everytime he gets to write about characters and their motivations he really shines. So even in those issues you see lots of good moments of storytelling. I'd bet if the editorial team wasn't pressing him, he wouldn't have teased kindred as much. Teasing sells.
That's the one.
When was the last time that man had a haircut. Do snek cults not allow personal hygeine and grooming?How can you not assume Moore is cranky?
That reminds me, I still need to read volume 3.
I read the first five chapters. It seems fun.
I've found Spencer's spidey really tame and basic. I read up until 2020 and the best part was Boomerang but they really hadn't done much with him beyond comedy. I hear he's in it more now. Spencer just hadnt done anything super exciting for me yet. Maybe he's gun shy from "hail hydra" backlash. I'll jump back on. But my expectations are in check.
Liefeld is the human embodiment of salt. Reading his tweets is like watching someone rage in DotA.
I can't even remember what day of the week it is, so lists happen when they happen.
Yeah the more detailed you get the more time it takes to complete something. And different artists work at different speeds too, so not everyone is going to be making 5-6 pages a day like Kirby did.
whatsinaname bless me with the strength to read all my comics from the library. I have almost 40 items (including non fiction, novels, and movies, too), and they suddenly ordered a bunch of stuff for me that I couldn't pause in time. I'm trapped in a loop.
Yeah it does have some potential, plus the protagonist being in his 30s feels a bit refreshing in this kind of manga heh.
Yeah that is the reaction you have when you pee from your nipples.
Only reading MHA and Blue Exorcist now, manga wise, so I will keep up with Kaiju also for now. Maybe I will look into SpyXFamily also.
A more transparent, consistent, and equitable royalty system would be a good start. As more and more characters find their way into shows and movies it seems like a robust royalty system would be a good way to reward the creators (both writers and artists). As it is there seems to be significant disparities between how Warner and Disney handle royalties, and I'm also not sure that artists are treated as well as writers when it comes to character creations.
Spy x Family is great. Have you tried Hard-Boiled Cop & Dolphin yet? That one is fun, too.
OP
OP
Her omnibuses are Palmiotti and Conners run and it's in the same spirit but it's nowhere near as good as the show sadly. The show is redicilously good.
If you want good Harley stories
Batman Adventures Mad Love
Harley and Ivy by Dini and Timm
Harleen by Stjepan Sejic - incredible
Harley Quinn by Sam Humphries (this is the best modern Harley stuff like the show)
Gotham City Sirens until Dini leaves
Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy by Houser and Melo is good to decent
REAL BOOKS in my funnybooks thread?!
I've read the synopsis and it doesn't seem like the usual type of sci-fi I read. People rave about it though so I may check it out at some point.
Ugh. I have bunch too that I am just renewing online ever few weeks and feel guilty about. My a/c is dead and I am just lying dead in front of a fan. No energy to read anything.
I want to check out many of these as well. I've read several Palmiottit and Conners issues and hated them. Definitely interested in reading more of her books though as I absolutely love the show. I hope we get confirmation of season 3 this month.
That sounds horrific. If you live on Mt. Aizo, you don't need AC.
Is it possible to live without AC? It's been consistently 90°+ around here but I barely notice because I'm in AC all day.
