Marvel Comics Kills Off An Iconic Villain In AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #22's "Hunted" Finale

@rabid - I'm loving Spencer's run. It has it's bumps but It's been mostly enjoyable. Especially happy with all the great work he did with Felicia. Especially after all that Queenpin nonsense. Though her character suffered in general from the post-OMD mindwipe. Thankfully, Spencer fixed ALL that.

@rabid - I will have to agree to disagree.

...and I'm okay with that.

@AndrewHolland - Slott did a lot of things I loved and a lot that I hated, but at least he's a good writer. Everyone in his run grew in a logical progression and within character. Peter achieved things to his highest potential. We saw how Otto could develop without the burden of the arms controlling him. MJ became something powerful beyond a wife and hotbody. Anna was one of the best created characters of the decade. And we got to see the roots of the 2099 universe with Stone and Alchemax. Liz was fierce.
Spencer might love Spidey and he has some decent ideas, but damn if his writing isn't amateurish and out of character. It only took a few issues for him to devolve years of growth. And that duplicate Spidey story was the most preposterous Spider story ever written. He really doesn't have the chops for a series with so many characters and working parts. And the books sales went from sky high to down the drain. I have a feeling that editorial isn't going to let him finish his entire planned fun. Especially when Far From Home comes out, they're going to expect to move more product. The only thing that can save it is if they can get a good artist back on the book.

@rabid - Slott wrote Spider-Man as a kid with superpowers. All the best writers have written Spider-Man as a person who puts others before him and that [frick]s his life up. I think this is what it really boils up to, this is the reason I (and a whole load of people) didn't like Slotts run. Slott seemed more preoccupied with the team ups, the new tech and the new money than with the drama, heart and human connection associated with the character. Peter always had a biting wit, but out of the mask he was constantly worrying, be it how to pay his bills, if Mary Jane really wanted to marry him or if Gobby was gonna out him. This part of his character was lost in Slotts run. In its place? Unfunny humor. During this run Peter tured from a good responsible man into an annoying man baby. After ten years of character assasination I can't comprehend how you can say that characters in his comic grew within character with a straight face.

Superior was good, I'll give him that, great even. Ock redeemed himself Anna was great, ghost Peter actually sounded like Peter Parker... and then Peter came back. Back in the 80s, 90s... back before Slott Spidey was a respected hero by the superhero community. For some reason Slott decided that heroes should start treating him as if he was a joke. Oh, but at least Peter created his own company! He achieved his greatest potential! Only that It was Ock that created (in hid body sure) but it doesn't seem very responsible in his part to take over anothe man's work.

I find it hilariously funny that you consider Nick's writing amateurish when your boy's writing seemed to be copied from a gi joe 80s cartoon. Very infantile and very stale, just for kids with very little standards. Also I'm sorry, but fierce? Hotbody? No wonder you consider Slotts writing good, your post sounds like something out of tumblr. Don't worry about "saving the book" the book is (finally) in good hands.

TL;DR: I disagree with everything you just said.

@Feralwookiee - actually a lot don't realize when he did that he was gone for mad long lol , it was rare where a villain didn't come back for like a decade or more .

he's one of Peter great rogues

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - They don't have to bring him back to life. He was killed by his clone. Basically it's a loophole. They just spruce the clone up and there you go. Not the first time they've pulled the clone trick(Hello Black Widow).

The only one allowed to come back a week later is Rick Jones.
