What happened to Spider-Man??

[DK II]

i started reading in the nineties, loved the whole alien-costume / venom saga.

The last issue i bought was when aunt may died, the some time later i also caught up on the Scarlet Spider.

A few days ago, i bought a giant artbook about spidey. I couldn't resist and it was only 6 euros.

Now WTF has happened??

Clone saga, Tony Stark designs a new costume, TWO relaunches, one where Peter Parker is a dork with a supermodel gf and one where he is only 15 years old?

I just read a brief summary in the artbook, but this sounds fucking cruel. The new costumes looked ok, but he seems to change back to the old model all the time.
I liked the black costume the best.

Does someone read Spider-Man comic books?

I would like to hear any opinions, personally i think the best times are gone.

Last time a read it was during the Scarlet Spider/Clone & Venome/Carnage saga.  It got real shitty after that....

Venome / Carnage was where i lost interest.

I couldn't get any better after that.

Well, i enjoyed all movies so far.

They are different from the comic, but who gives?

It's like going to a different pizza restaurant. You order the same pizza, but it tastes a bit different, not your favorite but still not bad though.

What i hated the most about the movie was the silver stripes on the black costume. Like i said, the black costume was the best ever.

I think the myth got killed by three of the worst movies of all time.

1 & 2 where great....3 SUCKED HARD!

this is a little too harsh.

the movies are just different, the same goes for all Marvel movies.

Eg. The Punisher was pretty good, but reading the original Punisher War Zone is sooooo much better.
I liked The Hulk too, BECAUSE the story was so different from the comic book.
Daredevil sucked though.

I actually think that Spiderman 3 has got to be worst movie of all times. Somehow they were able to combine the worst acting, worst storyline, worst timing and worst movie cliches of all time with a huge hive of pathos and kitsch. Even the special effects were incedibly boring. It was the most dreadful movie experience of my life, I just hate it with a passion, I can't help myself.

You people just expect too much. 

It's just a movie. You watch it, and it has ZERO effect on reality. If you hate it, just forget it, if you like it, watch it again.

There is so much in real life that is far more interesting than movies, this should be your focus.

You are absolutely right. It's the combination of passion and hate that blinds me.

lol, did you read what i wrote there??

I wrote you shouldn't care too much about a bad movie and you write that the hate blinds you.

You see, that's the problem with being blinded, you can't see the light, no matter what. But thanks for trying.

oh never mind.

What do you think about the clone saga, Scarlet Spider, Iron Spider and so on?

The relaunches? The "manga"-style Spider-Man comic books?

Not familiar with those, sorry.

Spinnenmann ist fuer die Katze; Fledermausmann hingegen....

Ein normaler Mensch, der sich durch seinen uebermenschlichen Mut und hart seine erworbenen Faehigkeiten auszeichnet, ist doch viel beeindruckender als irgendeiner, der mit ubermenschlichen Kraeften herumlaeuft, auch wenn diese im Fall von Spinnenmann nicht wirklich was besonderes sind (im Vergleich zum Hulk z.B.).

Batman is okay, but only the Dark Knight series.

Both are exaggerated, but as Spider-Man has superpowers, it's easier to accept than Batman, who is "just an ordinary" human yet does Übermensch sort of things all the time.

I like Spider-Man better than Batman, although i like both.

Boah, ich habe frueher Comicbuecher ohne Ende gesammelt, aber Inflation hat mich vom weiteren Kauf derer abgehalten. Die Dinge wurden einfach so verdammt teuer, und Marvel fing an, zuviele neue Geschichten zu erschaffen, und irgendwann mal konnte ich nicht mehr mithalten.

Fledermausmann 2 laueft bald an....

What i really hated is when Marvel started splitting story lines between different comic books, so you had to buy "Amazing Spider-Man", "Web of Spider-Man", "Spider-Man", "The Hulk" and others to follow the story. Stories where even split up INSIDE one issue, so effectually you only had to read 5 pages in "Web of..." which totally sucked.

Genau das meinte ich...unter anderem...

Yes.  You can print any single page or all pages from any issue.
