:no:
Didn't we have that before with Ben Reilly replacing Peter as Spider-Man?
Wonder how many red herrings will pop up regarding this new Spider-man in the Ultimate Marvel universe.
Am I the only one that is happy that Peter Parker will finally get a break from both being Marvels Cash whore, and butt-monkey simultaneously? I mean really at times marvel just seemed to only be thinking "How can we make Peter's life suck more?" while they are always thinking. "How can we get more money from this franchies (?sp)?"
Someone explained it well in another thread. I don't quite remember the exact words, but I'll try to paraphrase. Emphasis on TRY.
People like Marvel comics, and Spider-Man in particular, because he keeps going on despite what happens to him. It's a bit more realistic for him to not live in a world where everyone loves him.
Unfortunately, Marvel writers took that to mean that we like Spider-Man being horribly abused and put through drama purely for the sake of drama.
So yeah, bad summary, but that's kind of what it said.
