When Gwenpool was trying to get powers in Gwenpool Strikes Back, she brought up Reign to Spidey. He was confused.

OK so Ultimate Moon Knight can turn people into teleporting cyborg zombies? That's not a regular Moon Knight thing, right? And it turns out the big glowing green thing is the opposite of Vibranium, because it makes plants grow and Vibranium doesn't. And making plants grow is bad, it's also the opposite of Vibranium because it is evil and Vibranium is good? I thought Vibranium was neutral, it was just stuff, but apparently it's inherently good? Is that a thing outside of this comic?

Like if it wasn't a vibrant green and looked more like something from the Cancerverse from Thanos Imperative it would have made more sense.

site posted:The new Spider-Man writer is Joe Kelly I'd like to be optimistic, but I was optimistic about Wells and it didn't get me anywhere. I'm starting to believe that there's some sort of editorial mandate forcing ASM to suck. The Peter & Miles team-up book is fun, Spider-Boy is fun, and I even thought today's Superior Spider-Man wrap-up was all right, but ASM is cursed.

Didn't Joe Kelly just write a pretty mediocre Spider-Man like two years ago, called non-stop or non-stopping, something like that. That's how memorable it was. At least it's not Zeb Wells? But couldn't they get someone a bit more high profile? Saoshyant fucked around with this message at 12:49 on Jun 27, 2024 |

Does that make sense if you're a Moon Knight fan? not really, no. moon knight is usually a sort of paladin created when the egyptian moon god khonsu resurrects a recently deceased warrior. no one knows why ultimate khonsu and his fellow god ra are cosplaying as khonsu's subordinate. ra's a sun god, no less. i guess it's just a good look?

It's not like two different guys that everyone knows are two different guys being collectively referred to as one singular guy makes sense in this different universe. It's the sort of thing you'd expect an explanation for in and of itself, besides the fact that it's also a deviation from mainline Moon Knight.

Moon Knight Fist of Khonshu #0 being up for order with no warning while supplies last to retailers is scummy as gently caress. Cute idea, but what a garbage implementation. Rather than try to get retailers to panic order a (hopefully) important new book for a popular series, they should have sent us free copies equal to our orders of Moon Knight #30, or failing that let us order it just like every other title in the normal course of events.

He's also another BND alumni. You'd think there'd be other writers ready to get their hands on Marvel's flagship title. I mean you had a rotating cast of writers for Beyond that all did pretty great work you'd think they could see if any of them were willing to try it out. Of course, last time from all the talent they had lined up they picked the BND guy. I mean, McKay and Ziglar are busy, but I'd love to see more of Kelly Thompson or Patrick Gleason on ASM.

Joe Kelly is a pretty good writer. I'm not sure how much more high profile you can get with comics? I would enjoy more Kelly Thompson but it seems like she's not doing anything at all with Marvel right now.

there have been so many otherwise excellent writers that move to asm and produce consistently bad comics. i rather doubt it is the writers' fault. but who knows? maybe a bunch of people independently decided to write poorly instead of well.

Codependent Poster posted:Joe Kelly is a pretty good writer. I'm not sure how much more high profile you can get with comics? I mean I feel like you should probably be aiming a little higher than ‘pretty good’ for your flagship character. I liked Spider-man/Deadpool, but Kelly’s not grabbing my attention the way Hickman on USM, Momoko on UXM or North on FF does. Especially since the Wells run has proven so controversial, you’d think they’d want to win people over with a big name or up and comer. I guess they might be going for meat and potatoes Spider-man stories to right the ship and win back audience goodwill but honestly it just feels weird that after Beyond allowed a lot of writers to show what they could do on ASM you wouldn’t think to go back to them first. I guess I want a bit more ambition. Say what you will about the Spencer run, he did take big swings after taking over from Slott, even if ultimately they didn’t all land. Going back to the BND well feels like ASM is just going to keep shuffling along on inertia.

He's done a lot more, of course, but I can't think of any real high-profile runs or at least runs that still feel high profile now.
