Are you still boycotting Amazing Spider-Man because of "Brand New Day"? Are you aware of the current events in the comic? Do you still like Spider-Man?

I hated when Web Of Spiderman came out back in 1985 ( yes I am that old! and I still have the issues.) At first it seemed like a great idea but then as different writers took the volumes in separate directions it felt as though Web Of Spider-man became very watered down.
still not over bnd yet but i will admit that i like this book alot i'd say it's in my top 5 favorites.....i wish romita jr was just the permenant artist for the book...i can't wait for the "american son" arc and to see what osborn has in store for spidey now that he's in charge
American son is going to be great. I love Spider-man right now.
This year, I think will ease over some of the haters: Important FF story, Spider-Man trying to be Spider-Man 24/7 when Osborn is in control and Vulture comes back, American son, Amazing #600, Return of Doc Ock, New revamps, and the Sinister 666. I'm excited.
Thats just the first half (save 666)!
If only they would've executed the OMD storyline better.

I didnt buy the 1st 3 comics of Brand New Day, but this then I toughed it out and Boy am I glad I did! This series has been WAY sweet lately! Full on Agreement for this Vid!
I didn´t start reading AMS because of BND but now I don´t read it because of money...... I mean 3 times a month is a lot!
Not really when you think that there used to be Amazing Spider-Man, Peter Parker, Spectacular Spider-Man, Web of Spider-Man and so forth. All they've done is put those titles into one single title. It means more continuity. So instead of him fighting three different villains in three different stories at the same time, now we're following his life and adventures in a more realistic way. It always bothered me if he was fighting in New York in one title but then down in Flordia in another.

I only bought AMS

I so can't wait for this issue! I hate that marvel subscriptions take so freakin long!
I love Amazing Spider-Man! My only complaint is how they bounce around with the creative team. Back when Straczynski was writing the book he had the ability to set up an issue a year down the line with events in a current book, now some of the stories seem a little random and not especially cohesive (though still pretty good stories.) With the exception of a very few stinkers, I think everything since OMD (can we stop calling everything Brand New Day yet?) Has been really quite good. I still do hope that the OMD storyline will pay-off as a setup to something amazing down the line, but until then, I'm still going to be a faithful follower of the Amazing Spider-Man.
spider who? I really enjoyed Kraven Last Hunt and that's enough of Spider Man.
BND is a cheap gimmic. They can 'shake things up', and then based upon what's a popular change or not, they can apply that to the ASM when they change back to the regular universe.
And as someone who bought ASM #39 off the newsstand (well, my mom bought it for me); I just find it laughable to think of Norman Osborn as being BACK, or another 'Goblin' themed villan, or AUNT MAY still being alive.... I realize it's a FRANCHISE, but Jimminy H. Christmas, can we mug and torture some editors so the creative staff can let loose on these titles?
Thanks for letting me rant... I love Comic Vine!

Its not a cheap gimmick when you are getting better quality stories than before (Back in Black and the Other -for me) at a 3 times a month pace.

"mnky2hvn said:There has yet to be a story that has been better than the work Straczynski did before OMD. We were getting Spider-Man three times a month then too. Amazing Spider-Man, Sensational Spider-Man, and Friendly Neighborhood Spider-man. They were all canon, and in my opinion all three were for te most part better than anything released in the Brand New Day yet. I hate the new thrice monthly Amazing Spider-Man, it seems like a cheap gimmick to get out big anniversary issues faster. They were better when they had three different books with three different creative teams working long term. If you ask me they should pick a writer at least (and an artist would be good too) and sign him/her/them to a long term deal and try to get some better cohession to the stories. I'm sick of the book bouncing around from team to team like a ping pong ball. Screw the brain trust, just give me one solid writer with a vision for the future."BND is a cheap gimmic.

Friendly and Sensational lacked continutity and most of the stories were only okay. I completely understand why you don't like the artist change but oh well, they're all some of the best artists in the biz. Writing is great now that Bob Gale's gone as well. JMS made a totem which I hated and was poorly executed due to, well, it was a three title crossover. Now we can have a large event in two months with better continuity and flow. BND is a lot better for me.
I STILL hate BND. Why? because it was exactly what i was afraid it would be. Not SO bad. As in mediocre. Not substancial, no effort in the writting, no trascendental moments no... nothing.
I tought that this particular storyline (Character Assasination) was gonna be good, or better than the rest of them but... it wasn´t, at least for me.
The issue that just came out yesterday i bought it immediatly so i could found out how the hell did Lilly Hollister became Menace and i was, being honest, dissapointed.
It didn´t even make sense. Menace had appear way before New Ways to Die. According to issue 586, Lilly knew about the Osborn´s "secret lab" and to distract Peter from picking up the book that opened the door to it, she kissed him. After that she went to the lab and drank the goblin formula, a new one apparently and she became Menace. So how on earth did she fought Spidey BEFORE?. See? it doesn´t make sense!
WHAT ARE THEY THINKING!!!
