Now I'm confused....

If there's going to be a reboot, how the heck is it supposed to be working with the rest of the MU

I know that the annual can be referenced as pre OMD, but I'm still really boggled.

Well it looks like one of our biggest fears may still be realise in the incarnation of Jackpot...

But I'm still lost! Well, we all know Bendis is a fan of the marriage, so maybe he sees this as his last chance to write married Spidey

Well, seeing that image really makes me wish Spidey stuck to his black duds. I don't care if it was a marketing tactic, I was well happy about seeing him in his 80's clothes.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

Awful.

I'm inclined to agree. "And wouldja believe Spider-Man gets sued?"

Uh... yeah. I would. Since JJJ has been suing him for the last year and a half.

Jackpot... ugh.

Spider-Man now wearing what looks like the costume from the movie... double ugh.

Very worried about what they're doing. Never thought I'd be nostalgic for Civil War/Back in Black.

Depending on how OMD turns out, this could go either way...still have to wait and see...

Nice cover.

 

[The Joker]

They all sound terrible.

 

[Venom 1988]

In this issue, meet the villain from the fifth Spider-Man movie today!

Am I the only person confused by this statment?

 

[USMC]

They're saying that because this new villain Menace will be SO ORIGINAL and AWESOME, that fans will want him in the 5th Spider-Man movie!!!




Since when did Marvel give a **** about what fans want?

 

[kguillou]

So its really official now, Jackpot is in BND, which means that SwingShift WAS in continuity, which means that we've all seen the outcome of OMD months ago. Good freakin lord. 20 years of marriage destroyed, its like breaking Sue and Reed richards apart, i just dont understand it man, why are they doing this????

 

[USMC]

What's even more pathetic is that they tipped their hand on the outcome of "The Biggest Spider-Man Event in history" MONTHS ago...

and the sheep will still eat it up. :heart:

 

[Venom 1988]

They're saying that because this new villain Menace will be SO ORIGINAL and AWESOME, that fans will want him in the 5th Spider-Man movie!!!




Since when did Marvel give a **** about what fans want?

ah lol, yea gotcha

 

[Spydernorbs]

Movie themed...yuck.
Jackpot...yuck Just bring back Mary Jane.

Well, in responce to the Jan Solics...I guess I'll go movie themed to by saying.

"Their crap. Crap. Crap. Mega-Crap."

 

[shinlyle]

It looks like this will be a month where I will be glad I've dropped ASM....and saved myself 9 bucks.

 

[Dark Spidey]

Oh well. Atleast i'm still looking forward to Brand New Day

 

[spider greg]

Nice cover.

Yea, very nice. It looks like this will be Spidey's last issue as an Avenger, if I'm reading correctly.

Larroca's art looks good (as usual) with an exception of the move suit and Jackpot being in the storyline.
Menace looks good.

 

[Ray-Fu]

I dunno about any of the solicits...they don't really grab me at all Least the art looks nice...

 

[Sloth7d]

Awful.

Ditto. The sad thing is, people will buy this.

This on the other hand, looks awesome.

 

[SuperFerret]

I don't mind the movie suit as much as the other stuff. I'm guessing this 'Jackpot' character is MJ?

 

[SpideyZERO]

The solicitations feel weird...I have no idea why

 

[Galactus]

The solicitations feel weird...I have no idea why

No wonder they feel weird when they say stuff like:

meet the villain from the fifth Spider-Man movie today!

 

[mre]

The biggest surprise will be that Jackpot isn't actually MJ.

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

The biggest surprise will be that Jackpot isn't actually MJ.

i hope that's the case. Someone that has been a civilian for over 40 years of continuity suddenly getting super-powers just doesnt feel right to me...
