Thoughts and comments on the world of graphic novel creation and publishing
Everytime I send one…. it keeps asking for more. AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHHAHHHAHHHHHHHHHHH
If you know of anyone of these hits that is legit… email me @ jfoster16@neo.rr.com
I was hoping that this would draw the attention of potential patrons of The Purged and Zoned…. SWEET graphic novels, complinents of Backwoods Publishing. The Purged will offer a portal to another place and time, to distract you of those perverted thoughts you might harbour. Zoned will have BOOBIES…. and much more intillectual, spacey, trippy, ultra-violent fun for all ages (above 18). If that is not good enough, send me $5 and i’ll email you a picture of my ass, in all its spleandor.

I really wish I could get paid for having sex with my wife… that would be a job I not only could enjoy, but take pride in. I like sex… mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I like to drink beer and fart around on the computer… I wish I could get paid for it.
I don’t normally like discussing other comic books or publishers here, but this has been bugging me for some time now. What is up with the Amazing Spiderman?
Let me start by saying that I’ve always been an avid comic book collector. One of my long running favorite titles has been Spidey stuff (Peter Parker…, Amazing, Web of, etc.). Now, Marvel come up with the whole Ultimate titles. It’s a good idea. If you don’t know, Marvel took the titles that have been around for ever and started the stories over, from their beginnings. The stories are a little different from the first time they were written, but they are well written with very nice art. Now, if you aren’t some old geezer, like me, who has read decades worth of Spiderman, it doesn’t matter. They re-introduced the character, as well as the supporting cast. If you don’t know who Kraven is, it’s not a big deal because you don’t have to go all the way back to books from the 60’s to find out. The best part is they’ve kept the regular titles going as well, so those of us with tons of Spiderman history and trivia still have the old titles to read. The Peter Parker that stars in Amazing Spiderman appears to be in his thirties (actually he should be in his sixties). The Peter Parker in the Ultimates is in his 20’s (early twenties at that).
So, Marvel already has a new version of Spiderman out there if you want to read it.
Now, I’d also have to say (I walk a narrow line between passing information and just plain seeming like a geek here, but…) that Spiderman is one of the Marvel Universe’s most powerful characters. They’ve proven it time and time again. He’s fought the X-Men, Daredevil, the Fantastic Four, the Hulk, and he always ends up winning (am I a geek yet?).
Now, here’s my beef.
In the latest story arcs in The Amazing Spiderman, Spidey ends up turning to his totemic roots, and emerges as an even more powerful creation. WHY? Why would you take someone who is already seemingly invulnerable and make him even MORE powerful? That’s why I was never a huge Superman fan. What’s the point of reading a book when the character has already been established as being invincible (Superman has gotten better of late, ever since he died, I might add).
That’s problem number 1.
Number 2: They gave him a new costume. Why why WHY?!?!? The Spiderman costume that everyone knows and loves is ingrained in the modern collective consciousness. It’s like taking the golden arches away from McDonald’s and replacing it with a giant M in helvetica bold.
Oh, and just in case his newly added, god-like abilities aren’t good enough, the new suit has to have some too.
Man, just leave some things alone. Didn’t the ’90’s teach them anything?
