As someone who was both smart and shy, someone who's a major flirt always made it much easier than if I had to initiate things. <br />That's not to say Peter and an airhead would work out, but I can see him forging ahead and at least giving it a shot. And of course, as he was mostly stuck on Gwen, MJ just stayed a tantalizing possibility.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12464833.post-35065965107424026252013-03-23T03:03:40.441-07:002013-03-23T03:03:40.441-07:00The problem with a series like this is that it dem...The problem with a series like this is that it demonstrates how creatively sterile creators are becoming. They can no longer think of ways to keep the character that everyone knows and loves refreshing and interesting, so they have to start changing and 'modernising' things.

And actually, that's part of the fun. But it can become tedious, or even lazy. USM managed to reference, honor, and build on what had gone before, and yet become something creative, exciting, and new at the same time. As someone who followed Peer Parker's original adventures when they were brand new, and loved them... I loved USM, which I discovered them as collections, too.Kirk Housenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12464833.post-43973825905537999152013-03-18T17:59:55.178-07:002013-03-18T17:59:55.178-07:00I stuck with USM through the first 10 or 11 trades...I stuck with USM through the first 10 or 11 trades and finally just stopped buying them. I don't think there was a particular reason -- maybe I just got behind in the reading. <br /><br />I do wish Bendis had taken the care with the Avengers that he took with the first few "arcs" of USM. Overall, it seemed like he had no clue how to write the team, or even what to do with them.<br /><br />I've heard his run on Daredevil was good, as well. But this Spider-Man reboot really was fun for what it was.<br /><br />DougDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04248324005584963229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12464833.post-80478708690957325922013-03-18T03:24:14.329-07:002013-03-18T03:24:14.329-07:00The entire USM series is really a feather in Marve...The entire USM series is really a feather in Marvel's cap--very well done, and the dedication of its creative team is evident. You've definitely got a fun reading experience ahead of you. :)<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.com
