What's the big deal?
He's an absolute hater. Plain and simple.
Scott Snyder and Dan Slott are friends. This is probably a tip of the hat to the other.

I mean...
1) I heard that they wanted a more Batman-like character... that's part of what sets him apart from Kaine - I mean, you saw his prep in #1, right?
2) Natch. They had Spider-Ock on a building with the Spider-Signal behind him months ago. Combined with solicits about him working with Jameson... I assumed he'd get a signal

So which Spider villain gets to cut his face off? My money's on Norman, it'd explain his disappearance.

This is seriously the all time best encapsulation of hate reading I've ever seen. I bow to you, good sir.
If you want a more Batman-like character, you don't write Spider-Man. Batman and Spider-Man, as ideas, are almost the polar opposite of one another. If you have half a brain, and you're not Dan Slott, you know that. And you don't conjure up an incredibly stupid elaborate set of circumstances whose only goal is to get you to write The Amazing Spider-Batman, without care for consistent characterization, internal logic or common fucking sense.

that looks awesome
If you don't get the idea that there's a fundamental, philosophical, difference between Batman and Spider-Man and that trying to make one more like the other is a terrible idea that goes against everything the character is and what he represents as a concept, I don't think we can be friends anymore.
If you are going to cynically make the main Spider-Man book about something it's absolutely not, you might as well go for Spider-Wolverine. At least that would sell gangbusters.

The whole point of the series is to do something different until Peter is back for good. You want the same old Spidey stories that gave been told since the 60's and have no way to argue your position without sounding like a raging 14 year old. But keep giving money to something you hate, that'll show those hacks!

So im reading through all the BND stuff to catch up on Spider-Man and I just finished the storyline where Peter Parker is really chameleon in disguise. If Peter Parker was real I wonder how he would feel knowing that he is like the easiest person to impersonate by everyone apparently.

In defense of ElNarez, he is leaning to be a little Batman. Granted, it's a story arc, but hey.

Did anyone else read the big star wars reboot that came out this week? I thought it sucked for a first issue.
Early front runner for most amazing thing in comics 2013 and it's a shame it is spoiled for me now.
Seriously, if that's where we're going bring it on. It's no fun if you aren't willing to take a risk, that's how the best stories are told.
That's the 1st Lemire written issue right? I only read previews of Green Arrow, read like shit. Hope Lemire can do his magic on GA.
Man he's amazing. First issue of I Vamp without him came out this week and it made me want to /wrist.

Definite Hawkguy vibe, but I can dig it. Still miss Ollie with his goatee though.

Which is par for the course for most Dark Horse books these days. The Massive is the only thing they put out right now that I'm really digging.

Huh. I didn't figure even Dematteis could save Phantom Stranger but there we go.
Go figure. Fantastic JLDark appearance too. Very creepy.

Oh yes it does. And so do the pics from Avengers and X-Men. Great artists at marvel these days.
You need (they are 100% required) 2 issues of Justice League Dark (I can't remember which ones, like 7 and 8 maybe?) but that's been it so far.

Love me some I, Vampire. I've been with it from the beginning. It's not quite as good as American Vampire, but it's a good book. And as mentioned, yeah, two issues of JL
, that's it for the crossover.

Yeah, I haven't checked it out yet, but the consensus seems to be that it's a love it/hate it type book. I may check it out, as there haven't been a ton of the Marvel NOW books that really appeal to me. As far as Marvel goes, I've been reading FF, Indestructible Hulk, Uncanny Avengers, and Deadpool. I'll probably check out Guardians of the Galaxy too, once that starts up.
