Well, bit of a swerve to start this issue, as Peter\u2019s landlord wanders in on the festivities\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know I keep talking about how continuity is over and\/or how the Jemas\/Quwsada regime will try anything, but I\u2019m nevertheless surprised they\u2019re letting Ennis stomp around this bit of the lore when JMs has staked it out so dramatically. This, after all, sees print the same month as ASM 32. Peter\u2019s only just been told he\u2019s a spider totem and maybe that spider was trying to bite him on purpose to give him powers, and now this guy ate it. Feels like it\u2019s really stepping on JMS\u2019s toes. And I bet neither he nor Ennis knew what the other was doing, even.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mean, would JMS\u2019s spider emissary really be party to this? It seems like the spider that bit Peter IS the villain here, it just has Carl\u2019s consciousness. I dunno, man, if I was Axel Alonso, I don\u2019t think I would\u2019ve allowed this. But\u2026 I\u2019m not. And thank goodness for that, after all the trouble he had as E-i-C later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As it becomes Fightin\u2019 Time, Spidey says he remembers Carl. That he remembers how no one liked him because he was a weird creep, how he was scared of girls and just made people nervous to get their attention. This version of their history really upsets Carl, who rants about how Peter can\u2019t judge him from his perfect life as the battle gets increasingly brutal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mean streak that runs through Garth Ennis\u2019 work really coming out in ol\u2019 Carl there. Peter punches the top of his landlord\u2019s head right off, revealing the giant spider crouched in the head cavity while saying his life has been far from perfect, then they fighting continues. Carl keeps ranting about he\u2019s gonna take Peter\u2019s life. Peter gets thrown through a wall and right into a big sign that says \u201cDANGER.\u201d He tries to warn Carl, but\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, that\u2019s that. Somewhat surprisingly, to me, the Thousand have never returned. I mean, I don\u2019t particularly think they should, but comics being comics and Ennis writing Spider-Man being bound to draw a ton of eyeballs, I\u2019m surprised no one picked it up. Dan Slott, he loves a terrible idea, he should be all about it. Anyway. Next post, new creative team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
