Yeah....saw it earlier today in the store.


I am both glad and could care less. ASM was really starting to wear thin on me. Maybe I'll check it out now that CW is over.....but they're doing that whole Back In Black thing and I despise it......

See I'm cool with Back in Black, and with May's death. Hell, I've been buying ASM with Civil War. If the next announced writer is any good I might stick around.
 
Re: Amazing Spider-Man series discussion (spoilers)

I don't understand that bullet wound.

You would expect that the blood would have oozed downwards from the bullet and spread out a little, so that it would be a rough triangle from one central point. However, there are two extremely distinct high points. I don't think it would splash like that on her dress, though I do give the artist credit for putting blood on the floor.

I guess I'm just being way too critical... at least it's not MJ.

I mean obviously they're not gonna draw an exact bullet wound or anything like that....but it's implied that it's spread like that due to her touching it.

I imagine that once hit she'd grab the area to brace herself. Then kneel to the floor. Once on the floor her right hand would touch the ground in order to support herself.

The left hand would still be clutching the wound only letting go in order to "see to believe". A large portion of the blood would be on her left hand thus when she pulls that hand away from the wound you get the drop or 2 on the ground. Same as the small stain on her fishnet stockings (can you usay old whore? :lol: ).



I thought about that too much. Same as that bank heist.

I think the two "prongs" are too distinct to be smears from her hand. Once, I cut my knee, and I tried to write on my hand with the blood, and it was nearly impossible. I realize that that was only a small amount, but blood is very sticky, and I think it would be more like a huge smear of less distinct red above the wound and below it would be more red and look like any fabric that has a liquid on it.

I agree about the fishnets, though.:lol:
 
Re: Amazing Spider-Man series discussion (spoilers)

Oh well.


But anyways, no one ever stays dead in the MU ('cept for Uncle Ben), right?


I'll give her two to three years until her return. :)


Issue: 3/5

Arc: 3.5/5
 
Re: Amazing Spider-Man series discussion (spoilers)

I like how Peter's doing his "NOOOO, a supporting character is dead!" shout while she's still alive and concious. :D

It seems like an odd thing to shout really. Maybe "Aunt May!" would have worked better...

The issue itself was boring. It was basically just "Who will get shot, who will get shot???" over and over.

The Heist never really came to fruition.
 
Re: Amazing Spider-Man series discussion (spoilers)

I hope this is the last time Aunt May dies. She'll be around in USM for long enough, 616 Spidey didn't need her around anymore... for the last 15 years.

Kill off MJ and maybe we can finally get some FRESH stories from a Spider-Man book. I've been tired of the whole "I've got to save these people from a huge disaster... but OH NOES! AUNT MAY! MARY JANE! NOOOO!"

BRAVO!
 
Re: Amazing Spider-Man series discussion (spoilers)

Wait, she's still alive in that picture? Why doesn't Peter just grab her and swing to a hospital? :?

Also, I'm guessing Spider-Man's not in the black costume yet. But
at the end of Civil War, he appears with it on
and in New Avengers he seems pretty happy, so what's going on?

Is it the symboite? or just a black costume like debate people were having?

Pretty sure it's just the black costume at this point in time.
 
Re: Amazing Spider-Man series discussion (spoilers)

I really wanted MJ to bite the dust. I could care less about Aunt May.

I'd love to have the black suit actually be a symbiote that he bonds with, but I know it's not going to happen.

This could be a red herring. It could just be a superficial wound, or one she will recover from.

I mean, she's not a total weakling if she can wear an Iron Man costume to Latveria to battle Doombots.

We must never forget what we have suffered through, for it makes us stronger.

HAHAHAHA. I remember that.
 
Re: Amazing Spider-Man series discussion (spoilers)

This issue probably had one of my all time favorite lines. It's probably been used before, but it was still awesome.

"But in the end, I suppose all that really matters is that they understand. That they know. Because without Aunt May, without MJ, I wouldn't have anything worth fighting for. Only things worth dying for."
 
Re: Amazing Spider-Man series discussion (spoilers)

This issue pissed me off. First of all, if May wasn't killed immediately, then she'll ultimately (pardon the expression) be fine. And I swear that sniper's order's from Kingpin changed between the last issue and this one. His orders, as i understood, last issue were to go to the hotel and kill whomever he found there. Now in this issue his orders are to wait and see what happens to spidey before doing anything? So the whole issue he's just taking aim a million times for practice? Cheap.

You didn't see it that way in the USM thread...

E said:
You people.

Every time I see that this thread has been posted in a part of me dies and I hate myself for starting this site.

Can we just pretend this book doesn't exist anymore?
