I'll say this: Scarlet Spider is awesome. That comic may have provided me with my senior quote.

I want to check out Venom (which is why I placed holds on the first few trades). I really liked the issues that tied into Spider-Island.

Yeah Scarlet Spider and Venom are both absolute must reads. I didnt count them cause both are ending this year.

Which is a crime against literature.

I was so pissed when I read about this. I adored Venom and really enjoyed Cullen Bunns run so far. They better give Flash Thompson a new number one in All New Marvel Now or I´m going to be really sad.

I've given up on Marvel doing something older fans would appreciate. R.I.P., Peter Parker. They're great for movies, but they're more concerned with getting new fans.

Atleast Marvel is not failing with their books like DC does since 2011. I really looked forward to the reboot but they failed on every level with that...and its only getting worse.

Minor spoilers ahead

my favorite arc is when foggy gets cancer and Matt starts seeing his fathers dead remains in his appartement or his wife laying in his bed even though she is supposed to be in an asylum.

But 21 is the magic number!

Aquaman is great, and what little I've seen of Wonder Woman is good.
But overall, agreed.

I think the problem is that comic companies have stopped writing books for comic fans and instead aim them towards people who have no interest in comics. On the one hand, this does boost their reader-base and increases the amount of money they can pocket. On the other hand, they alienate older fans.

The DC reboot has some titles that I enjoyed (Batman, Superman, Action Comics, Detective Comics, Aquaman, Justice League International, Justice League Dark, and Earth-2 to name a few), but it probably has produced a few duds. For the most part, I've enjoyed what I've read.

I've got 23 holds, total. I think I'm fine.

On Aquaman I agree but Wonder Woman I never really enjoyed. I just couldnt get behind this new version of the amazons. Well atleast they dont use their deadly bee weapon anymore....bees...my god.

Fucking Avengers Arena... that's all I'll say.

Anyways, I decided to check Deadpool, and Cap just decapitated Truman.

Emphasis on "little I've seen"

I never read much Wondie so I have no clue what the bee deal is.
