Same. Heaven forbid something different is done with a character.
Superior and Spider-Verse were after Ends of the Earth though.
Also, to quote Slott from the article in the OP:
He'll be on the book until at least #800, which means Slott is going to be staying on ASM until at least fall 2018.
Sorry guys!
sounds good to me, I love well written Spider Man books!

Why would you argue that?
Legacy is a stop gap, they are gonna relaunch near Infinity War
I don't know why Slott has to go from one extreme to another.
From Tony Stark lite to back to being broke ass Parker.
I think he was doing something good with a Parker who realizes that responsibility applies to his personal life as well, got his degree and started work as a scientist. If we are going back to a Parker who is always short of cash and cannot manage his personal finances then it is just stupid.
Seriously just take Slott off the book already.

Nah, they'd actually have to meaningfully progress the character, and they sure as shit ain't down with that.
Hopefully no one.
When I found out about this I literally laughed out loud. So dumb. So, so dumb.

Hahaha they did this already with OMD and not they just are gonna repeat this nonsense again? Oh no, Peter is getting success, quick reboot his life to his shitty bachelor and crummy job ways.... until we make him Tony Stark 2.0 .... oh shit reboot again!
Right? We've been planning all along for 6+ years now to simply go back to point A!

Axel Alonso and Tom Brevoort need to go away already because they have crippled Marvel Comics in quality. But they are making money with little continuing income.

I don't think you're in the minority, loser Spiderman is the best Spiderman, don't want Tony Stark 2.0

Outside of characters, he hasn't added much with the way they keep rebooting Peter. And really hes only done so much cause hes one of the longest writers on spidey in a long time, hes been in control for way too long. Everyone who has tackled spiderman has added new content to the universe, course Slott has added a ton, hes been on it so long.

It's going to be part of the story. Comics are already leading to it.

First they ripped Spider-Ock away from me too soon and now they take away the fun tech hijinks. I don't get why this book has to change status quos so damn often.

Ah, this explains the last issue of Amazing.
Well, in more detail than I thought.
It's dumb and stupid and dumb.

"Hey guys the Spider Man you grew up with in the 90's? Fuck him. He'll always get reset back to my Spider-Man in the 70's."
To be fair they were right about Marvel Legacy or as it was referred to previously "Make Mine Marvel"

We clash sometimes when it comes to some characters but basically everything you said here is fact, and double to the bold.
I'm thinking that's the twist. I hope so

Fuck, I completely forgot about Ben.
I don't doubt they'll try to have some marketing thing when Infinity War comes out but they're not "relaunching."
They're not going to bring the big comics back to legacy numbering only to reset them with #1s again in 6 months. Slott in this interview even talks about #800, which would after Infinity War.

My take on it was that Slott was going to the extreme with Parker Industries in Worldwide because he knew Spider-man was going to be going back to the basics in the upcoming event. Basically he went as crazy as he could because at the end it would all get reset anyway. Worldwide has been a super fun ride so far but it doesnt really suit Spider-man that well imo.
Yeah im not sure Legacy is turning out to be what Marvel originally promised. I hope SDCC announcements will right the ship, but so far I see nothing that looks interesting aside form Aaron's big book at the end.
If this new arc ends with Peter running the Daily Bugle, which would absolutely be moving the character forward and doing something new, this will be a fun thread to revisit.
Given Slott's politics, that could lead to some fun anti-#FakeNews stuff. Using Peter Parker as the MCU character pushing for truth and responsible journalism makes sense.
This is one of the reasons, why I just won't dive into most comic books.
I like most of the characters and find them interesting, but to have this daily soap set up without any conclusion ever and those ridiculous status quo for everyone...
I'd love for Marvel and DC to set up a universe that plays out one story. Have everyone have their special origin, have some of them come together and have it end. Not everyone has to survive but the whole series/universe won't continue and simply come to an end.
Give their old guard some breathing room and play out what else can be done with the concepts without having everyone returning from the dead and invade every other storyline. Having to read multiple series to see one story play out all the time is madness.
If they said "we are doing this thing now, starting fresh, going forward for 2 years to tell this story and then we end it" I'd be pretty excited. If authors could decide which villain to use and not having to write every existing villain into the story just because they are popular and the IPs have to be used.
Miles was fine in the Ultimate Universe. Merging his world into the main universe has just muddled his origin and story.
I guess the role they want him to play the high school version of Spider-man, so that he means he is never getting out of high school. He is also never gonna grow up because that would be aging Parker.
Stuff like this could have been avoided if they had just kept him in his own world.

So, Ultimate 2.0?
But even the execution has been crap. And this Spider-man as mascot/bodyguard shit was just stupid.
Seriously Slott's writing can be so clumsy at times. Just look at the introduction of Silk.

And this is why Comics aren't ever going to improve.
There will never be experimentation or a change in status quo. Things just remain the same in perpetuity in both of the big two perpetual attempts at bringing in new readership.

You know what? I'm fine with this IF
1. Peter own the Bugle now, and he was forced to downgrade because as CEO of Parker Industries, he spent too much money and time saving people
and
2. The new owners of PI (presumably now under a new name) are the two people he truly fucked over the most on the way up:

I feel you, man. It's part of the reason why I prefer one-shots when I get a hankering for some superhero comics, but I've otherwise been sticking to what Europe has offered in sequential comics.
I loathe his Spider-Man run, but I have nothing against the guy. His work on Silver Surfer (and GLX back in the day) is utterly fantastic. It's just his Spider-Man work I hate.
