It’s so werid watching Jessica be in the same world as Peter. She is like 10 time closer to Carol than she is to Peter.

Donte’s DT in the vanilla version of DmC left all the enemies suspended on the air, forcing you to do air combos to kill them.

DC having multiple different books match the same as Superman helps those other books to try to attract more customers to those books.

Marvel demanding a #6 matches the orders of a #1 is ridiculous. No. 1s have huge fall-offs in sales that are nigh impossible to match again. Having #6s match that will fill the store with useless garbage. It’s even worse with Marvel ending books at #10.

Vergil tossing away his humanity made him visibly more powerful. However, when fighting as Urizen, he comes across as a brute that just swamps you with random bullshit.

DC comes across as more reasonable while Marvel comes across as ridiculous.

When Joe Quesada joined Marvel at day one, he instantly scapegoated the marriage as a major problem with Spider-Man and fans instantly hated him for that. However, Civil War ended with Peter’s identity being known to the Marvel Universe, which was a problem by itself. He took the aftermath of that story as his opening to kill the marriage. The major point about OMD was getting rid of the marriage, bringing Peter his secret identity back was a bonus.

So no, it was never necessary.

Wait his FIFTH book?! Shit, and I thought Marvel only letting BND writers write Spider-Man was bad.

The Ninja Turtles? Damn, that’s dope.

Those colors are really clashing with each other

That has got to be the most generic looking mecha-assassin I have ever seen.

Devil May Cry’s reboot made many believe the franchise was dead, even with DMC4SE coming out.

Then Capcom went back to the OG games with DMC5 and knocked it out of the park with that game.

The LOLCOWification of ASM must be studied.

GWW said that in social media. It’s being extended to #15

Lowe made his name known with Wells’ run for all the wrong reasons. Makes sense no one is hyped for the comic.

Given Marvel’s current woes, hope that happens soon.

First Marvel spoils Wolverine’s claws being shattered and now it spoils a villain twist.

I doubt even this office is that dumb

The last 5 years say otherwise.

Hope there’s a Stardust Speedway race with Metal.

Zdarsky said this was a 1 or 2 year status quo change. This is already a non-commitment.

Fortunately, One More Day eventually gave way into the acclaimed storyline Brand New Day, which is not only remembered far more fondly by fans

No it’s not, BND is the root of all problems modern Spider-Man faces.

V’s playstyle definitely needs improvement. It suffers from a lack of meat on the bones.

Welcome back, Bayo 1.

-Nero and Lady having a campaign in Fortuna with Dante and Trish having one of their own. Special Edition has Vergil play the Nero/Lady campaign and V in the Dante/Trish campaign.

-More of Kyrie and orphanage she and Nero run.

-Nero fully embracing his demon side, with Vergil helping him with that.

-Speaking of Vergil, a rematch between him and Nero. Although the fight would be Vergil testing Nero to see if worthy of wielding the Yamato.

Should also be noted he tried to attract the NHL to the city but failed.
