It had all the right ideas, and while the execution WAS really, really flawed, I still think the idea was sound.<BR/><BR/>Now, BAH! this Spider-Man seems to have a horrible idea behind him. I don't know what the execution will be like (that's more of a wait and see...but with JMS as head-writer...you do the math.)<BR/><BR/>This makes me nostalgic to read the old Clone Saga issues I have...if I could remember where they are anywayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19932777.post-1150813467838056402006-06-20T09:24:00.000-05:002006-06-20T09:24:00.000-05:00njgw: No way, man!

Look at all the weird, goofy silver age stuff DC has managed to successfully revive. <BR/><BR/><BR/>What would be so wrong with just killing off Mary Jane or Aunt May? People act like it would destroy the character. If it could be done in a truly dramatic,tasteful manner- one that doesn't involve a kidnapping by the psychopath of the month- I think it could work. <BR/><BR/>The last time I can remember either of them actually mattering to the plot of any Spider-Man story was back in the 80's.<BR/><BR/>Lately they seem to be filling similar roles. Who can Peter whine to about his problems this week? Does he really need two close family members who he can rely upon for advice? They're both often standing right next to each other in the same panel, giving essentially the same words of encouragement.<BR/><BR/>One of them needs to go. Since the only New Avengers story element I'm really digging on right now is the whole Jarvis-Aunt May thing, I vote for Mary Jane.Brandon Bragghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04767770844982082169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19932777.post-1150747800934356902006-06-19T15:10:00.000-05:002006-06-19T15:10:00.000-05:00Just back away from the ledge sir, slowly now, slo...Just back away from the ledge sir, slowly now, slowly.<BR/><BR/>But in all seriousness, I seem to be the only damn person who thinks some good might come of this, even though JQ will probanly find a way to keep it from being great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
