Updates on Amazing Spider-Man {Spoiler}This issue was quite short, but Peter and MJ got decent time together, fighting crime and having their usual heart to hearts. Peter says it was difficult to move on from MJ, and MJ also agrees, saying it took a very long time to let him go. Of course the whole point of the issue is to prove neither have let the other go, and at Aunt Anna's house Peter suggests they continue their partnership and MJ realizes with things the way they are between them, it probably isn't always the best idea, indicating they still love each other

I dunno when they decided to hate this shit (I’m not blaming Joe q anymore) but it’s so tiresome at this point.

Ultimate Spider-Man #1 going back for a fifth printing is undeniable proof that Peter/MJ sells big.
But Lowe should keep doing what he's doing, he and Zeb are soaking up that critical acclaim, Daddy!

After today's Thunderbolts, I don't ever want to see Marvel try and claim that HYDRA isn't Nazis again. No matter how upset that makes Nick Spencer.

Prior to the newspaper strip moving ahead with it, they never had any intention of putting them together, the Clone Saga and Mackie/Byrne's dire collaboration were attempts at getting rid of it and resetting the book back to a single Peter. It wasn't until JMS that we got some stability for a while before Quesada put his foot down and ordered the changes. Quesada is said by Nick Spencer to have changed his mind about them when he began to wind down his career at Marvel and requested they get back together, Spencer took that as an invite to undo OMD and editorial almost let him get away with it until the pandemic slowed everything down and Spencer took an offer to run Substack, after which editorial decided to clamp down and alter his story, hence the mess the Kindred saga turned into, leading to a retcon of Quesada's other blunder Sins Past instead (although you can tell from some later books some writers actually still like the Gwen/Norman thing)

Like actual company mandate "This person cannot be rehired under any circumstance".

I love Ultimate. Favorite Spidey comic in a long, long time. {Spoiler}I love that when Peter and Harry first meet each other as Spidey and the Green Goblin, they go "let's go have a drink."

Hit up local antique mall. Where there is sometimes comics.
Got Ms Marvel #1(1977) and Frank Frazetta's Death Dealer #1. 3 bucks total.
Ms Marvel is at least a 7.0 if not maybe a 8.0. So debating on getting it slabbed and flipping it.
I mean hell I already got the Essential Ms Marvel TPB.

Please let this be the end of Wells' run. Regardless of the MJ situation, Wells is not suited to write leading characters. Send him back to manage C-Teams, which is what he's good at, because he is clearly incapable of handling Spider-Man and should have been cut at least ten issues ago.
And he should never be allowed near Spider-Man again.

So back in the day DC refused to publish the Rick Veitch created issue 88 of Swamp Thing.
Can't really go into the reasons on the forum,google it it deals with religion.
Just saw Mr Veitch posted that DC is considering finally putting this issue into print.
publishswampthing88@gmail.com
Supposedly that email was set up for the fans to write in and tell why they think this piece of comic history should be published.
I have read Veitch' synopsis of issue 88. And really nothing in it goes as far as various issues of Preacher or Hellblazer.
Not sure how many Veitch era Swamp Thing fans are here. But figured the mor that know about this the better chance we might finally see it.

I think we should make Akira Yoshida-san wear a forty pound chain around his neck that reads, 'I am partially responsible for Paul Rabin" and make him wear it for the rest of time.

Oh House Roy. I forget he had that long run at Marvel. When I think Roy Thomas I always think of his 80s work at DC. And how the Crisis screwed All Star Squadron and Infinity Inc badly. Oh and Legion,but I don't think Roy was working on Legion at that time.

Read Mask during lunch and now fighting the temptation to track down the rest of the issues.
