The Brand New Disgust continues in issue 549
Well, I just finished reading this book and I'm not happy. Not happy at all.You know, the more I think about what's been done so far, the more it occurs to me that there's at least one thing in every issue published so far that's editorially mandated, and intended to insult the fans. Just a short while ago, I guessed, and wouldn't be surprised, if Mr. Negative turned out to be a jab at people who disagree with what they're doing!
Quesada continues to spit on the face of all of us. First, he made Peter kiss some random girl and now he teases us making Spider-man ask Jackpot if she's MJ!!! That's right, Spider-man just went and ask her if she's MJ!!! And Spidey spent all the issue without webs because he don't have the money to buy the stuff he uses to make webs!!! This is so ridiculous!!!
And it won't surprise me if Jackpot does turn out to be MJ. Quesada, as the one behind all this, is just too predictable.
One of the respondents sums this up correctly:
Man, stop buying it. If everyone who is mad stops buying they will change...if everyone keeps buying and complaining they will continue to do whatever they want.Amen. Do as the guy says. Stop wasting your money.
Update: well, it's just as I feared. According to this blogger, Spidey physically slugs Jackpot after mistaking her for being a goon of a gangster. And why won't I feel surprised if that turns out be written deliberately? Meaning, not because it makes any sense but because the editors/writers dictated it.
Update 2: say, isn't that Mark Guggenheim who wrote this issue? The same Guggenheim who killed off Bart Allen because wasn't popular in the role of his adult peer, Wally West, as the Flash? One more reason then why one need not bother about his work.
