2010 - The Year of Spider-Man

I hope so!!!

I've already read that 2010 will be the year we find out everything about BND but the fact that Madame Web is in the image makes me think that this may be Gauntlet related!! :)

I'll take a guess...

They're going to rehash another old idea and have it so every different costume he's worn is rewritten to debut as a new character. Then they'll use that to say that any of the stories in those costumes were someone else because One More Day "fixed" continuity for Spidey by breaking it.

@ Demon

lol they already are. My guess is they are going to have a huge Spider Family Brawl. But with what DC has been doing I don't think marvel can compete with making Spider-man their main focus. Brand new Day pretty much killed him, and he's lacking A LOT anymore. For all intensive purposes if you want a witty banter tossing Super Hero read deadpool atm it's a much stronger book.

rofl @ Demonhunter; Your grasp of the situation is truly meritorious.

For real tho gents I couldn't care less. The death of Cap and BND killed all interest in current events I might have had before that.. As a matter of fact I didn't even like WW Hulk.

These days I ignore new comics entirely. When I go to the comic book store I buy stacks of back issues which to me is infinitely more fun than watching Marvel ass clowns come up with crisis after crisis because they believe that that is what they need to sell comics now.

As long as it's got nothing to do with Clones I'm happy ;)

@superAlex: Well then if you want comic books then come back to my fansite more often.... Lately since my entries have been dumped to the REVIEWS section I get less visits.... I was even e-mailed telling me that if i don't put them on REVIEWS then they would get deleted.

@thenumber12: I was barely going to post that!!!!

Oh wel Ill post it anyways!

#12-I think He's reaching for MJ

Okay, oaky i see where you're coming from Darth.

And i'd have to agree with most of your points but here's where i think those things went wrong. it wasn't durring WWH. it was after. when Loeb picked up the riegns and undid eveything Planet Hulk set up. The point was that while Hulk was on Sakaar he became much much stronger than he already was. and him coming back and kicking everones ass was only possible because of what he went through on Sakaar. Then Loeb comes long and totally craps on the Hulk's entire journey, he dumbs him down, weakens him (which might have been neccesary to 'fix' the points you brought up) and basically pretends the last 20 years of Hulk never happened. so NOW when you look back, it seems weird.

So i'll give it up and say you're probably right strictly because you seem to care more about juggs and zom than i do. and maybe that's my loss.

But i just absolutly loved the concept as a whole. i wish Hulk was more relevant in the avengers events like secret invasion and siege and what not.

im also with you on picking up new monthlies. i've cut down drastically and have just started picking up trades and hardcovers. Kraven's Last Hunt... woooooo! i don't know how that ending never got spoiled for me, i loved that one!

I feel I've held on to Spidey too long. I should have dropped this title long ago. Whatever is brewing, I aint buyin'!

I feel sorry for you guys. Dropping Spidey? I would never even dream of it! So what you didnt like "Brand New Day", get over it! Sooner or later it will all be explained and I bet all of you jump right back into the book, because you only follow the character when the story goes how you want it to. As for us REAL Spider-Man fans, who stick by our boy Pete no matter what, we will all be sitting back enjoying the "Gauntlet", Spideys eventual takedown of Norman Osborne in "SIEGE", and the explanation of what really went down in "Brand New Day". I, for one, am as excited as ever to follow my favorite character into a new chapter in 2010- the year of SPIDER_MAN!!!

...besides the book has been WAY better than those awful "Maguire/Dunst/Raimi" whiney, emo, dance number, filled garbage you call movies!

the clone "ordeal" was hard to follow AT THE TIME, but when it was revealed that Pete was the original and Ben was the clone and Norman returned as the true Green Goblin, who had been pulling the strings the whole time, just to return and kill Ben..... COME ON THAT WAS FREAKING AWESOME!!!! you had to read the entire clone saga all the way through "Revelations", which Im guessing, you did not.

Darth@ your a better man than i:)

Makiveli21@ hahah yeah! HULK SMASH! (i want some more spoken dialouge from Hulk in the next film)

TheMyth@ (if in fact you are real) I totally agree. thats why i liked where he went durring civil war. those who've said he's never been more interesting, i agree with that as well. he was on the avengers, living in the tower but he had also unmasked and was dealing with those aspects. it was great. after Seige they need to find a way of restoring the progessions he made durring civil war. because in essence what they did was have him go on a journey that made him the most interesting he'd ever been, then LITERALLY erased all of it and brought it back to what you're talking about- 'woe is me'

Having looked at the image that Fabs posted, I'd say this was basically a promo for both the Gauntlet and the revelations behind how BND came about - all good news then really, lol!

MYTH: You're missing out! JMS' run on the title was excellent (right up until JRJr left anyway) and although One More Day was handled badly, Brand New Day has so far been excellent for the most part!

Friendly Reminder: Hulk didn't defeat Black Bolt in WWH. Hulk defeated a Skrull posing as Black Bolt.

@SuperAlex: Dude we are on the same page. Loved Pete in Civil War and loved Hulk everything until after WWH, but now I'm optomistic that maybe in the end, Loeb will wrap it all up real nicely and all the crazy stuff like "WHY DO WE EVEN HAVE A RED HULK?" will all make sense.

@Makiveli: Totally agree. Truth is, I've always been a sucker for Spidy. I'm sure I could fine 10,000 things about BND to complain about, but somehow I've made up my mind to enjoy the ride. Problem is, with like 3 issues coming out every month, I'm having trouble keeping up. I'm assuming it'll all work out in the end--kinda like Jeph Loeb's run on Hulk and Ultimatum.

@Mulder: My condolences. It looks like you and Marvel have grown apart. I'm sure I'll feel the same way about Marvel events in like 10 years when everything completely changes again (I just recently jumped back on the wagon).

@Josh: Just look at your avatar--YOU ARE AWESOME!

@Sora: Thank you (as usual). Way to keep comics on this sight!

jusme6@ OOOOOHHH yeah! that wasn't the real black bolt! shows that tony shoulda called upon the hulk durring that ole secret invasion thingy!

a more important question than the one you posed tho is: WHY DO WE EVEN HAVE A RED SHE-HULK?! im afraid that it just wont matter in the end. im seeing a pattern in Loeb's writing tho stemming from his batman days and on into Hulk. he doesn't know what to do unless he can [frick] with EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER under the banner of a book. for no other reason than to say 'HEY! heres this guy! ooooo coooool!!" it worked in hush... not so much for hulk... these spider-man teaser images have so many characters on them already i fear this is leading to the announcment of Loeb joining the spidey brain trust! it sort of has a mcguiness look to it :/ .. haha jk.

I've learned tho that i just can't be optimistic when it comes to stuff like this... Secret Invasion taught me this. However, it will be cool to see where Seige goes because it seems like alot of the stuff that's going to be happening in Seige is what i wanted out of SI. the whole time im waiting for Thor and Hulk and Iron Man and the new Cap to get together a bust some serious skulls but nothing happends for 7 issues then wasp turns into some purple thing? then norman shoots the queen?? oooooook. it's like professional wrestling in a sense... they can never really have a true climactic moment because eveything they do has to be a lead in to somthing else...

i seriosuly hope for seige they give us the ending that's been 'seven years in the making' (yeah right, just like george lucas had all those star wars prequels pre-planned) and we can start off 2011 at a new point in the marvel u. not just a continuation of all of this same stuff...

Do you think that kid is Logan?

How awesome was it when Cyclops got his brains blown out though?! Didnt see it comin but I really enjoyed that one. HA!

Banner cant turn into Hulk anymore (for now at least), he's just hanging out with Skaar, training him for his eventual throwdown with his daddy

jusme6@

not sure if that last part was sarcasm so i'll just say Loeb used Thor in his Hulk run. it was quite controversial, as well, because the red hulk found some sort of technicality that allowed him to pick up thor's hammer as long as thor himself was still touching it... i think the red hulk is the manifestation of all the herpes tony stark has contracted over the years... it's the only way...

and i guess, you're right, the norman thing wasn't bad. it had been built up. i just think SI lost so much momentum by the end that i didn't care.

Makiveli21@ how's that arch going? i've been wanting to pick up some of the skaar stuff but it's low on my priority list.
