There is too much Spiders in the Marvel Universe.

Give Miles a new code name, a rogue gallery and may be a new city to live.

Kill Ben27 and Silk (but just after retcon her origin)

Make Spider-Gwen be in her own dimension.

Yes, and it is about time.

He also have to gain his own rogue gallery.

Talking about Marvel TV series. X-Men fans, give your schadenfreud laugh

Marvel’s next big TV project, Inhumans, is getting caned

One site, Spoiler TV, posted the first review but it has since been removed because it broke embargo rules. Spoiler TV called it “simply awful” and “absolutely terrible”. It gave a special lashing to the dialogue, labelling it “atrocious” and that the only redeeming feature is the character of Lockjaw, a teleporting giant dog which the reviewer said was “adorable”.

Ryan Reynolds just divulged the first Cable photos

Brian Hibbs of Comics Beat wrote an article about Marvel Legacy

Tilting at Windmills #261: Marvel Comics and The Deck Chairs of the Titanic

Here he is saying about Legacy's solicitations

But, in short if you don’t order 225% of a previous issue of “Iron Man”, then you are not allowed to order any copies of those two variants. None at all.

And about the Lenticular cover

These covers were originally announced as not being lenticular at all, and, oddly, the lenticular is a replacement and not an addition – there’s no longer a non-lenticular edition of any of them.[...]

But again, you can’t order any copies of the lenticular of “Iron Man” if you don’t order 225% of the regular one.

Another problem: this kind of line-wide stunt really becomes an “all-in, or stay out” kind of program – it simply isn’t rational to think you can carry a few of the lenticular covers, but not all of them. That’s not how audience response works. If you buy-in, you have to buy-in across the board.

You’re not even a comic book retailer, and you see the conundrum, right? If you get 225% of the one you can order the other, more desirable version, but then you lose pretty much any demand for the “regular” edition in the first place, even if you can sell 300% or more of the fancy version. Literally, you are being asked to purchase comics you can’t sell, in order to gain access to comics that you can. While a small handful of people are willing or able to buy multiple copies of the same insides, the largest majority of customers just want a single version to buy.

He also make so very insightful (and scary) statement about what can possibly happen in the future.

Right now “fancy” covers are trying to cover a multitude of underlying problems with the actual core product. This is not the first time such a thing has been tried, and I still have vivid memories of the last time when the entire market almost collapsed when the customers woke up one day and said “this is shit, we don’t want this any more”.

That time of the crash and the few years after it was dire for comics, and this time is likely to be significantly worse, as we don’t have a core of books selling at 100k or more to keep things propped up.

I think it will be great for them if Marvel sells a bunch of dollars of comics in October thanks to manipulative processes designed to get the greedy moving – but it won’t mean a damn thing if come January “Iron Man” is back to selling under 40k again because speculator bait never ever has led to stable long-term growing sales.

Until Marvel is willing to think about the long-term steps needed to right their ship they’re going to remain in danger of collapsing the entire market; and there is literally nothing they’ve shown us from “Marvel Legacy” so far that doesn’t literally feel like rearranging the deck chair on the Titanic.

I hope to god I’m wrong; otherwise 2018 is going to suck.

So, what do you thing folks? Will we face a new collapse of the comic book industry?

Aaron gave a more positive review

And that is the problem with all of this, MJ and Felicia were damaged just because the editorial just demanded him to get rid of his Mary Sue, it was a hissy fit (I just wonder how awful her role in Superior was planed to be to Alonso take this measure) and Slott went even further trashing Felicia suing her as a prop for his own pets. The Amazing Spider-Man franchise, its villains, its universe have to orbit Peter Parker, but what is happening in the last years is thing don't really orbit around Spider-Man anymore, Dr Kafka was fridge just to show how "gruesome" he was, Felicia was dumped just to open path to Silk and we can say that everything was co-opted to Otto during SSM. Now a lot of Peter's supporting cast is just being slipped away and what is left just is depressing.

Yeah, Felicia redeeming herself and joining The Defenders. Of course, it seems the reason she became this dumpster fire of a character to begin with is not important at all. Is is like her relationship with Peter is not important at all, I mean, the f*ck is Peter? Is he Spider-Man? I though he was someone important. Why bring her back to the ASM and heal her character there, where she belongs and have the most meaningful relationship if Peter have Anna Maria while he occupy the rightful place of Dock Ock and Bendis wants a new action figure and there is no adult to say No?

Yes, they comment the positive and negative things.

The positive they say that the movie is good, funny, very entertaining and charming and captures very well the High School feeling. They prized Tom Holland, Michael Keaton and RDJ.

The negatives, they just commented how hollow the movie was, with tittle emotional weight and that they didn't give any motivation for Peter and it seemed he was doing it just for fun. They also commented that there was no mention of Uncle Ben and that didn't gave weight to Peter's motivations.

They also make very good comparison with the previous movies and the comics. It is a really good discussion

@ursaber: It is long, but it is a very good discussion, when you have time just watch it or listen to the audio, it is worthy.
