COMICS: Marvel Reveals Ed McGuinness' Variant Cover For AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1

It's ok

basic

Why are they copying movie suit now?! D:

Steve Ditko style!! Oh yea! :D

generic but good

The best is BACK!

@Mastyrwerk same here

Hey look... it's Spider-Man.

I know everyone loves the classic Ditko design and 90% of Spidey is some minor variation on it, but... I'd like to see something else occasionally (that isn't completely hideous or a black suit gimmick).

dan slott needs to [frick] off. he used to be good but he's gone really down hill. give us a new writer

@Makiveli
Read it. I understand and appreciate what they're doing to set up more writing opportunities for the future, but could NEVER call it good writing or enjoyable.

So good to see the original, however with Ock still in body and the very likely forced stuffing of ASM2 designs into the pages, I'm not holding my breath. Been disappointed too many times by the current creative direction at Marvel the past few years.

Thank goodness for weekly previews...

^ Pretty much

The quality of Slott's Spider-Ock story is subjective to personal opinion. You can like it or not.
But what is not arguable is that Slott took a very minor story idea suited for a 2 part comic or an annual and stretched it out into over 2 years of comics.
It was pure laziness on Slott's part and a waste of 2 years of Spider-Man as a Marvel Comics property.
"Spider-Ock" was a simple mind switch story. And to show you how real writers handle a mind switch story between hero and villain look to Smallville's Transference. Same story with a balanced beginning, middle and end. And Smallville's next episode moved on to another story.
But cut to Slott and his Spider-Ock story you get a beginning, 2 years of middle and an end.
What that accomplished for Slott was he didn't have to move on and write more stories. He had over 2 years to think up another plot while he milked Spider-Ock.
And I'm sure he'll soon find another plot to ride and lazily milk for years so he doesn't have to actually create new plots several times a year.

Look at it this way; Over the past 2 1/2 years many TV shows have had around 50 different plots on their show. Arrow has had 39 episodes and a 2 parter so that's 38 stories mixed into an ongoing saga.
And during the 2 years Slott was plodding along with endless replays of Ock pretending to be Spider-Man, AMC's Walking Dead has introduced the Governor and Woodbury, brought back Merle, created conflict between the Governor and Rick's gang, introduced the prison, killed meaningful characters like Lori and Herschel and introduced new characters like Michonne , Tyreese, Beth. And they've developed Rick, Carol, Daryl and even found time to tell a lengthy story with Lizzie.
Let's cut back to Slott and 'Yaaay!' he's wrapping up his plot from over 2 years ago.

@dethpillow You just need to admit your a shit-man. You like shit. There are people who actually like Transformers films and Pearl Harbor.

As I said liking or disliking Slott's mindswitch-saga is subjective. But what is a fact is that while real writers of entertainment have done 50+ stories in the past 2.5 years Slott has been dragging out a mindswitch story the entire time.
While real writers were busy creating characters, plots, subplots, developing characters and facing the challenge of creating weekly or monthly entertainment, Slott was dragging out his mindswitch story.

It really says something about your taste that you so love Slott and his mindswitch story but you hate a show that lasted 10 years and had millions of fans. Slott's mindswitch story maybe reaches 75 thousand people in a country of 330 million.

Slott is not worthy to flush the toilet of Smallville writers or even the lowly writers of WWE.

You can hate Smallville all you want. But it's writers are experienced, trained, educated professionals who at least worked to deliver new scripts with new plots 22 times a year just on that show. Some of them turned in scripts for other shows also. And yes, they made the right call to use some old plot device like a mindswitch just one episode.
Your boy Slott, 1 story focusing on a mindswitch spanning over 2 years. That's laziness. It is the opposite of challenging writing. He takes an old TV show gimmick and turns it into his 2 year mindswitch saga. It was Slott escaping the workload of a real writer. He is more creative at being lazy bum hack than being a writer. Just as some lazy bums work harder to escape work than to do work itself. Slott needs to get back to the mailroom and stop his writer hoax.


And my original point still stands, untouched by your rants.

While real entertainment writers created many stories, created and developed characters and took them to many places these past two years a so called entertainment writer named Slott stood still. Mired down in his muck of shit mindswitch story.
