The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

I feel it necessary to point out that I didn't write this, before anyone accuses me of it.

The fact that I agree wholeheartedly with the piece is incidental.

You are Spartacus?

I thought it was a really well written review.

You see the reviewer establishes how he felt about Slott's run up to this point and points out several recurring short falls that he felt the run has had up to this point. That way he references them in the actual review of the book we have a clue what he is talking about.

I haven't read Amazing Spider-man in quite a while, and I thought Slott's run was awful. Worse than anything JMS did on the title aside from Sin's Past.

I'm surprised I got the finger pointed at me more than you. I mean when have I written a Spider-Man review for the front page... that WASN'T Hobgoblin related.

If Slott could get past the Dan Didio shock and awe approach on Amazing Spiderman, he would be much better as I said before. His approach reeks of so many things from the 90's which don't fit the book in this current timeframe.

Pretty decent review.

Slott just isn't a writer who interests me. I think he's for a different type of comic fan than me, I feel as if he's writing for fans of spiderman and long time readers when I'm not. I just want a good story.

The thing also wasnt great IMO.

[Amoebas]

Slott seems determined to blot out his artist's backgrounds with the immense amount of dialogue he throws in.

Any writer who works to hide Humberto Ramos's art is okay by me.

From a Hobgoblin to Marla Jameson to the Vulture to the Kangaroo, his run on Amazing Spider-Man has been filled with pointless deaths that,

Wasn't Kangaroo killed in a oneshot spin-off not written by Slott?

As for the review - I'm a Slott fan. Thing, She-Hulk, Mighty Avengers - all great stuff. But I'm not a OMD Spider-Man fan so my experience there is really limited to flipping through books on lcs shelf (and the aforementioned Ramos being a key factor why I wouldn't spend more time with it).

That said, Ramos didn't do all of Ends of the Earth so I did invest a little more time with the arc and it was just okay. The lack of every other hero, villain or Joe Public to stand up against Ock was just silly. The man has too long a history of killing police Captains, holding old ladies hostage, attacking nuclear subs and attempted mass murder by poisoning newspaper ink to have been believed so easily.

That and I'm not a fan of those silly octobots that can control anyone (Avengers included). Technology in the MU (and DCU) is just getting obnoxious.

On the plus side, I liked the Sandman's return to a more heroic side, different kinds of webbing, and a Black Widow that doesn't have her breasts falling out because her zipper is undone down to her navel (I loves me some breasts, but often when it comes to sexy, less is more).

[Rockman]

Mighty Avengers was trash under slott. I guess if you're a pym fan it is the book you've been waiting for. For everyone else it was just not good.

Even more suspicious

Thank you for considering me to be the author of a well written and well thougt out review. But sadly I cannot take credit for that.

[GHERU]

won't even bother to steal this story

I didn't think the review was well written at all as the reviewer went out of their way to establish themselves as hateful of the current direction.

That said, this story just didn't do it for me as I felt it tried to establish itself as too epic and big in scope. It had its moments but it was a bit too much for its own good just to lead up the the Rhino confrontation and the Ock fight.

Agreed. As I said, the whole idea of Doc Ock and the Sinister 6 taking over the world so easily was implausible just like Carnage and co laying New York under-siege without the intervention of so many heroes and other villains. How come SHIELD, the Fantastic Four, all of the Avengers teams and the X-Teams were not even mentioned? All of these guys would have handed Doc Ock his ass in a couple of seconds if they had shown up.

Am I going crazy or did Slott not mention early on that the FF and X-Men were off-planet?

I think there's answer at least to the later was due to AvX.
