You are still reading Spiderman comics? You are a braver man then I. I gave up after that One More day and civil war garbage.
I dunno how old you are or how long you were a reader of Spider-man, but I've been reading long enough to have been through worse than One More Day.
Clone saga anyone?
"No, thanks."
Just checking.
I never give up on characters I like. When dealing with comics, especially ones that have been around for as long as Spider-Man, I look at the big picture rather than each individual story. There are probably more periods of Spider-Man that I hate than periods I like, but the overall story and character of Spider-Man is something I love............Any way if you want to understand how i feel here is the link.

I understand how you feel and I agree OMD was stupid and insulting. That's why I made the comment about the big picture VS individual stories. The nonsense introduced in OMD will be written over and forgotten soon enough. As I said, I figure things will go back to normal around the time they release Amazing Spider-Man 2.

The Crimson Spider was cool though. Very cool. And Ben was a decent character. The arc had it's moments. But not three years worth of moments.
That's Scarlet Spider, not Crimson Spider. =P
You're right, though, about the length and overall quality of the Clone Saga. Having re-read a fair amount of the Clone Saga in recent years, it's easier for me to spot the bad writing now than it was when I originally read it as a kid. Too bad executive meddling caused the storyarc to be dragged out far longer than was originally planned.
Ack! You're right, of course. I had the Crimson Ghost on my mind I guess.
The Clone Saga sucked, but look at what happened after that. Things went back to normal and the stories got good again for a time. I'm sure the same will happen in the wake of One More Day.
God I hope so...
