I liked Civil War, & Zombies was good when Kirkman was writing it.

Not so much anymore.

But the current Arc of Deadpool where he found his zombie head & is running around with it is pretty funny.

it started out good but they should have let it die. The cross with morbius and what not, sucked.

I used to love Marvel Zombies, haven't touched it since Machine Man was in it. Not that I hate MM or anything, but it's gotten so old now. The exact opposite of "leave them wanting more".

As for Civil War I really need to dig those things out again. All I remember is SpoilerClor, dead Cap, and the Initiative.

I'm digging the Storm/Torch fusion in MUA2, it's epic to me every time I see it.

Yeah, One Last Day was probably the biggest pile of puke. I did enjoy the Spidy vs. Kingpin part, but the Tony x Spidy buddy thing is kind of confusing now. I mean, after One Last Day, does that mean none of that happened? And what the hell is up with the Vulture? I don't dislike the new stuff, but its kind of ... and yes I'm overusing the word here, but confusing.

SpoilerEspecially the whole Mary Jane thing. So ... she knows he's Spidy? Does Aunt May? God, wtf is going on ...

From what I understand, they traded their marriage for Aunt May's life. Now, due to the deal, no one now knows that Peter is Spidey unless he told them after One More Day. The Tony/Peter friendship was just that, a friendship between the two of them & "magic" is keeping anyone else (Including Daredevil in ASM #600) from being able to tell who he is, even with the ability to do so.

I think just the New Avenger's & the Fantastic Four know who he is now.

I dunno if MJ knows Peter is Spidey or not, just that they almost got married.

What I don't understand, & this will sound dated, is how One More Day reconciles with the death & return of Norman Osborne (AKA the Green Goblin). Honestly, post One More Day I really like the whole Norman Osborn Directer of HAMMER thing, but at the same time Osborne's return was a great way to end the whole Clone Saga, which made the Clone Saga somehow suck less with Norman orchestrating it all.

But he couldn't of done so without knowing who Peter was.

Meh, he probably "forgot" like back when he used too in the early days. One day he knew, one day he didn't.

Tomorrow I'll dig out that issue because I think she gave up something extra. Maybe I misunderstood it though. I'd do it now but there's a dead roach in one of those boxes and I need my strength to face that again :D

The New Avenger's reveal blew me away when I read it. He literally goes through Hell (at least one of it's agents anyway) to get to this point and then he just goes ahead and reveals himself to people he just met for giggles. After all this whining earlier about he can't reveal himself to ANYONE because of the horrible consequences.

I think they are eventually going to explain how everything happened and whatnot, that and the book coming out 3 times a week may be the only reason I still read it.

SpoilerThat's not really a loose thread. The girl is Mattie Franklin. She fought a some people as Spider Woman, was in a few issues of Alias, and then joined Excelsior/Loners.

That whole "Ultimate Power" thing was BS in relation to Aunt May, if only because ASM #400 where Aunt May "dies", made me cry like a baby. Ret-conning that issue & having the ASM #400 Aunt May be a clone Norman put there to further ***** with Peter was a cop-out.

I guess the genie would have been back in the bottle after Norman "won" insanity, but if I recall Norman did know who Peter was again during the "Gwen & Norman had twins together" debacle during JMS' run.

I picked up ASM 605 & 606 this week, but as I had missed 3 weeks got to them today, & MJ does indeed remember that Peter is Spidey. What I'm not 100% sure of though, is if Peter knows that she knows.

Anyhoo, I think one of the better things to happen post One More Day is that the Spidey story is pretty much being told straight through in ASM. Unfortunately, this has lead to strong sales & Web Of Spider-Man is getting launched next month.



I wasn't around for the original "Death of Gwen", but even I was pissed that JMS would crap all over cannon like that. It's sad too, because I actually loved the whole "Did the Spider Choose Peter?" thing with Ezykial & Morlun.

But The Other did suck balls.

X23 is cute in her stoic "I'm going to raep your face with Snikt" mentality.

Just to bump this back up, and actually (for once in my posting life) go back to the topic, the latest Marvel Zombies just ended, and it might have been a dumber twist than One Last Day, if that is at all possible. On side note, from a logical stand point that also means no more Marvel Zombies. But, this is a comic book, after all, so I won't hold my breath on that.

And I miss Ezykial. I kind of hope, but highly doubt, they go back to exploring the mystic aspect of Spider-Man. Obviously it won't involve Zeke, but you know what I mean. I managed to read all of ASM, and I can't think of any point where I found myself laughing as much as during those storylines. For example:
