Oooh, are we going to see "Cyclops Was Right" t-shirts?!

If Gillen ever has his say...

I'm sure some fan will start making them eventually much like the Magneto Was Right shirts.

Scarlet Spider #12 - Kaine takes out a group of armed men trying to rob the Four Seasons where he's been staying. Coincidentally he was going to be kicked out because the ambassador of Belgium had his room reserved months ago.

I swear to God, if you're not reading Scarlet Spider right now, I don't know what's wrong with you. This week, Kaine gets dragged, kicking and screaming, to a rodeo by his friends. Then, as if he wasn't already pissed, this happens:





Scarlet Spider #16 seriously why aren't you buying this.

There's also the very beginning of the issue with Kaine completely no-selling all of the "weird" poo poo, including telling his literal inner-demon to shut up while it yells "PREY" in the mirror.

Superior Foes of Spider-Man #1 is the best thing Nick Spencer's written in a long time. Boomerang's ended up in jail, again, and asks Speed Demon and Shocker to feed his birds while he's in.

Two questions: first, is that "AA for supervillains" in the sense that it's for supervillains with drinking problems, or is it just Antagonists Anonymous?

Second, is that Doctor loving Bong?

1.) The latter.

2.) Yes.

I'm actually not quite sure who all the other dudes there are besides him, Mirage (by virtue of his story) and Hippo from Sinister Spider-Man which is pulling really drat deep.

One of the reasons the book works as well as it does is Steve Lieber's art. It looks great and Spencer mentioned in an interview that a lot of the visual gags are things Lieber improvises when drawing the pages. There's a fill-in for issue 7 but Lieber mentioned (he actually shows up on /co/, of all places, quite often to talk about the book/shoot the poo poo; he's a chill dude) that the artist for that issue, Rich Ellis, was someone he personally suggested to both Spencer and the editors so I don't think I'll worry about it being a drop in quality or anything.

Lieber himself said that in a better world the digital version of that page would've been a full-on side scroller.

The Superior Foes of Spider-Man should be read by everybody. For instance, issue 5 provides a valuable life lesson that is applicable in many situations:



The last two pages of the issue are absolutely amazing. It was like a combination of laughing and "hell yeah".

Edit: Screw it.

Well we get at least one last funny moment from Scarlet Spider #24 right in the middle of everything going to poo poo for Kaine. He's decided he's failed as a hero so now he's going to burn his costume.

I don't know what I like more, the part about not being able to pronounce "Mjolnir" or the Punisher's line.

It's actually that Kaine, in true Kaine fashion, continues to look grumpy while everyone else is yucking it up.

Is that a Galactus pool floaty the chick (no idea who she is)'s in?

That's Boomerang's girlfriend and it was a dream sequence so he also started imagining her as Galactus for some some reason (dream logic).

At least things went out with a bang. Or perhaps...a shock.



It's worth pointing out that it's a Spidey Super Stories reference.
