Books 1, 2 and 3 are the Fraction/Aja run. The second arc is also really good even if it's not at the same level and I don't like Foreman's art very much.
omg you're the best for posting this. Any way you could just make it the Spidey panel and avatarize it? :3
This is my wet dream. I just want a bunch of different miniseries with Fraction/Aja as the creative team. Go through all the major, and not so major, Marvel characters.

I'll trade wait Superior Spider-man if the following issues are great.

I'd like this team for a Spidey monthly.

I understand what you're saying, but I think you picked the wrong medium for them standards.
Exhibit A - Jim Lee
Waists and Feet
Exhibit B
Dem MusKles!
Exhibit C
Oh you want realism?
Nah, there are plenty of artists who understand anatomy and understand the rules and which ones you can bend. Unfortunately there are just as many who haven't the first clue of anatomy and on top of that make up their own rules (Liefield). I'm okay with the former, I hate the latter.
Also exhibit C totally isn't 'realism', just amazing paint/coloring skills ontop of shit art. People can say what they want about Aja, but my respect for dude went up ever since I read an interview in which he said he hated his art when he first started, so he grabbed a shitload of anatomy books and learned the basics and applied some of them to his art.
Does anyone know what the fuck happened in Action Comics this week? Does Morrison look over these scripts at all or is he just shitting a bunch of things on paper and sending his first draft to publish? Because I can't understand a single goddamn thing going on in this book anymore.

Thanks Acid and I'll get to it. Originally it was from when Aja was doing his advent calendar on twitter, but shouldn't be too hard to avatar-size Spidey there.
EDIT: Here you go
But for Rastafarian42, you can see a bit of Aja's Spidey in Hawkeye #6, if you don't have it already. It's a very organic looking Spidey that reminds me of Ditko's.

Superior Spider-Man
Spider-Man 2099
Scarlet Spider
Flash Thompson Venom
We're one spidey away from an all Spiderman team. Call them the Arachknights.
He's and I quote
as he's saying this. Dude hasn't had enough fun trolling yet has he? Can't leave well enough alone.
I'd read that cross-over. Throw in Ultimate Spidey and you've got you're #5.

Is Star Wars' art good? I totally forgot what D'anda's stuff looks like.

I watched 10 minutes animation about the Specter. I have never heard of him before, but damn his powers are so hax.

About Action Comics #16.....
Best incarnation of Krypto ever, right? That mutt was nothing to fuck with.
My love of Aaron is balanced out by my dislike of Bianchi
Venom reboot? Maybe Doc Oc has sex with Mary Jane and they give birth to Peter?

Wrong about what? I worship Aja.
The DC Spectre? Ya, he is one of the most powerful characters in the DCU.
I decided to pick up Avengers Arena afterall, largely because I love the artwork. The issue's story was decent.
I'm sort of confused about the previews for issue 4 though. They advertize a fight between X-23 and Darkhawk, but Darkhawk bought it at the end of this issue. Also, I totally didn't realize that Cammi was the same Cammi from Annihilation until they spelled it out for me.
I'll probably be picking up the next issue. Maybe give the entire first arc a chance.
Now for my beef regarding Marvel scheduling. One would think that, with a book that ships twice a month, we would get an issue every 2-3 weeks. This seems pretty logical. Does Marvel do that though? No. Avengers 1 and 2 ship in the first half of December. Issues 3 and 4 get scheduled for the last two weeks of January, 7 days apart :/ That's like the worst of both worlds. A six week wait followed by consecutive releases.

Superior Spider-Man: That cliffhanger rubbed me the wrong way.
By making the "good and evil trapped in the same body" premise so literal, I fear they are going to rob the story of its depth and emotional resonance.
time displaced ultimate pete from exiles to join the fray, as well as time displaced mayday. spideys villains will just pack it up.

Any good resources to find out what artists are currently on books besides brute force searching? I really, really like Sam Basri (Who did gorgeous work in Power Girl and Voodoo) and would love to find out what else he is doing as well as other artists in the future.
inb4lolgoogle. I know I can google. But sometimes it seems like I have to sift through mountains of garbage to find such data.

Bad wording on my part - I was talking about people hating on Pulido (there were a few in this thread/the last one I think?) who owns too.
Disliking Aja is kind of too much for me to process. He's such a weird/awesome mix of Mazzuchelli circa Year One and Steranko right now.

He's been doing a great job on Hawkeye.

People who dislike Pulido too... I can see why, but again, it's really unfair.
I love the pop-art style that he uses. It worked so well for issues 4-5, especially since the colors seemed brighter too to match the style.

Ending of Superior was disappointing. I was hoping they would leave THAT out of the book for at least a few months.

I'll PM you later.
It was robbed of depth and emotional resonance the moment Dan Slott wrote "Page 1, Panel 1". Because Dan Slott is a hack. Because Dan Slott is afraid of logic or consequences. Because Dan Slott thinks no one would notice that suddenly Peter Parker became a giant dick who all of a sudden asks for deadly weapons. Because he's so afraid of actually following through on his dumb gambit of killing Peter Parker that he has to immediately bring him back as a fucking ghost. This is a bad comic and everyone involved in this mess should feel bad. You should feel bad for reading it and worse for liking it.

I'm hard pressed to say which Thor appearance was the best this week. :O
And my LCS was totally sold out of Superior Spider-Man.

I may not like the premise of Superior Spider-man but Ryan Stegman is doing some top notch work. Almost makes me want to buy....

I thought this was Bendis?
And people should stop calling Slott a hack. He wrote some wonderful comics in the past and his early Spiderman stuff was good. It's too bad he started borrowing drugs from Morrison and Moore...
But it was really painful to read.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Poor Steggers. Attached to such total hammy shit. Shoulda stayed on the real best Spider-Book bro, I warned you about that Slott man, I TOLD YOU MAN, I TOLD YOU ABOUT SLOTT MANG.
Instead its back to Pham. Who seems to be trying some pencil-worked panels that channel Stegman, bless.
