Ugh....
Ok something positive to say about Ramos for a change... at best, he can draw some amusing expressions.

I'll just never forget the disgust when I picked up X-Men #200, with the gigantic fold-out cover drawn by David Finch.... only for the interior art to be drawn by Humberto Ramos... ugh.

I used to love CRIMSON when he first started out.

This is going to be another good issue of The Amazing Spider-Man.

Art like this is why I stopped buying comics on a regular basis.... I'll just go read my stuff from the 80's and 90's when people with real skills were behind the pen.

I like Ramos. His art is good for Spidey, I think, and his expressions are always spot on. Not my favorite artist ever, but hey.

What the hell is going on with Mary Jane's left eye in the last page?

I despise the artwork. I've so had it with the whole manga/anime style thing. Where's Ron Frenz when you need him?

Okay I haven't picked up a comic in a while but are Peter and MJ back together or does she just somehow know he is Spiderman?

At first I didn't like it Ramos art either, but it grew in me since he took over Amazing Spider-Man. Right now he is second only to Mark Bagley when it comes to contemporary Spider-Man artists. And that panel with MJ is just... [frick]ing brilliant. I love how much Dan Slott gets Spider-Man, it's been ages that I wasn't so much excited with this book. I dropped after OMD and only came back with Spider-Island, insanely cool Spider-Saga.

Also what is with Marvel and their terrible new teenage heroes again I haven't read an issue with him in it but the way he is drawn he looks like a complete douchbag. I mean between this kid and Miss Thing what the hell Marvel.

I hope he dies. Permanently.

All the power, none of the responsibility but yet he still found time to care enough to design, make and put on a costume?

Because that makes sense?

I think he's better than his brother, which is saying that much because I'm not really a fan of either one.

Actually I've read that this run has been quite good. I'd pick it up of it didn't come out twice a month. Before watchmen is already a pain in my wallet.

I love Humberto Ramos' art. Not on older things, but on X-Men and Spider-Man--YES!

Stop bitching and moaning. The art looks fine.

Mary Jane remains the only constant character Peter can really confide in over most aspects of his life. One reason I like her.

Dumb idea with this sidekick but then Marvel is about to destroy their current fanbase with these stupid changes. As for Ramos, he's super talented but sometimes his art is lazy, his AvX cover recently made me puke...that passed for a "variant" cover?
iJackSparrow
iJackSparrow - 8/31/2012, 3:06 PM
I don't think people are realizing that the sidekick thing is pretty much a plot point, a story, instead of the creation of a character. Alpha can end up been a villain for all we know.
