I indeed threw a fit over the MJs covers, I hated the one with the spidey cupid despite being cute, Lily shouldnt be there, she's not fit to shine MJ shoes, Felicia should be in that bubble. Oh yeah, Mj's douchebag celeb boyfriend with the paparazzi arc is there in that cover too. for lega purposes, for ben reilly fans. </p> ( Read more... ) Tags: char: jackal/miles warren, char: mary jane watson, char: scarlet spider/ben reilly, char: spider-man/peter parker, publisher: marvel comics (16 comments \| Leave a comment)

11:47 pm [zechs27] [Link]	101 Ways to End the Clone Saga Near the tail end of the Clone Saga, Marvel released two one-shots. One was to pretty much fill in the blanks on how Norman Osborn did it (aka the Goblin Journal which I might post if people request enough of it). The other was this. A comic about all the writers, editors, and people who worked on the Spidey books wondering HOW IN THE HELL can they wrap this Saga which JUST WON'T DIE?! They devoted thirty-three pages to it. I will post just ten. I will warn you the things that you will read in this entry may drive a person mad.

07:15 pm [jcbaggee] [Link]	One Perfect Moment: Somebody Had To Do It As I poked around through the overwhelming response to One Perfect Moment Week, it seems to me that no one had done this for one perfect moment, so I thought I'd take point and beat the dead horse.

12:26 pm [kali921] [Link]	Three Perfect Moments: the Silver Surfer, Spider-Man, and MJ Watson I see that no one has posted a One Perfect Moment for the Silvery Scion of Zenn-La -- the Sentinel of the Spaceways himself -- that being the divine Silver Surfer. I am here to remedy this tragic oversight. I'm going to actually go out on a limb here and say that the Perfect Moments contained in this post are going to have the most beautiful art and writing of any Perfect Moments posted this week. Oh yeah, I went there. So, the first scans that this post contains, in one seven-page sequence, not one but THREE Perfect Moments for the Silver Surfer, Spider-Man, and MJ. These first scans come from Silver Surfer: Requiem, that being an out of continuity miniseries that was scribed by J. Michael Straczynski in 2006. It is without a doubt one of the most beautiful things ever to appear in the medium of superhero comics; Esad Ribic did the luscious yet simultaneously subdued and highly evocative art, and it perfectly complemented the tragedy of this story. In fact, my understanding is that Ribic painted each and every panel. I warn you: this story is sad and extraordinarily beautiful. JMS obviously has a huge love for Surfer, and it shows. I don't know anyone who has read SS: Requiem who didn't wind up literally sobbing their eyes out by the end. Fans of the Spider marriage take note: in retrospect, I have to wonder if JMS knew that Marvel editorial was on their way to ending the Spider marriage when JMS wrote this Surfer mini, because in the context of OMD, the scene I'm posting here reads like a big affirmation of Peter and MJ's marriage and a "fk you" to the group of people at Marvel that ended it. Herein are Three Perfect Moments: a One Perfect Moment for the Silver Surfer, a One Perfect Moment for Peter, and a One Perfect Moment for MJ. Actually, let's add another one: it's a One Perfect Moment for Peter and MJ's marriage, too. Context: Norrin Radd is dying. In this scene, while he's saying his good-byes to Earth before he returns to Zenn-La for his final days, he runs into Peter, and they have a talk. Norrin wants to give a gift to Earth before he leaves. And so he does. Oh, boy, he does. ( Three Perfect Moments: this is why Surfer is a Golden God of compassion and love, why Peter is smart, and why the Spider marriage rocked. )** That is what it means to be the Silver Surfer. But no One Perfect Moment Post is complete without showing one of the most important figures in Norrin's history, that being of course the Ravager of Worlds. These next scans are from Annihilation: Silver Surfer. One of the few things that the previous iteration of Scans Daily seemed to universally agree upon was that Marvel's Annihilation crossover was absolutely superbly executed in terms of art, writing, continuity, plot, and pacing. The Annihilation: Silver Surfer miniseries contained what is perhaps the very best scene between Surfer and Galactus that I've ever read. Context: shit is hitting the fan all over the universe to the point that Galactus is worried. Norrin finds Galactus to ask for his help (!!!), and the following exchange occurs. It culminates in a page of pure distilled AWESOME. *( Two Perfect Moments: Galactus and Surfer. Norrin makes the ultimate sacrifice, and you want to be clearing the area when Galactus smiles.* ) ...Yeah, that is freakin' iconic and flat out the essence of what makes both Galactus and Surfer such great characters. Like the above scans from SS: Requiem, it's a perfect alchemy of art and writing. As if that last page weren't enough, you want to know what happens next? This. Beat THAT, Scans Daily! ( And because this art can never be posted enough... )** The first set of scans are from Silver Surfer: Requiem #2 with JMS on writing duties and Esad Ribic on art. The second set of scans are from Annihilation: Silver Surfer #3 with Keith Giffen writing and Renato Arlem handling the art.

09:47 pm [cyberghostface] [Link]	Who DOES Peter support politically? In the latest issue of Amazing, Spider-Man and Wolverine share a joke about Bush being like Norman Osborn. But it seems it's not just the GOP's that Parker's taken potshots at, as this scene from Spectacular Spider-Man #246 shows...

06:38 pm [box_in_the_box] [Link]	NuSpidey status quo: OH SHIT STAN LEE'S GOING ROGUE Stan Lee to Marvel: "Fuck you, and fuck your retcons." Robot 6 @ Comic Book Resources >> Fan letters save Spider-Man’s marriage — in the comic strip At the beginning of the year, the Spider-Man newspaper strip received a bit of a makeover that brought it in step with comic book continuity. Echoing “Brand New Day,” the strip reverted Peter Parker to an unmarried student living with his Aunt May. Mephisto not included, it was just an abrupt change to the status quo. “In keeping with the new Spider-Man story line at Marvel Comics, we, too, are going back to Spidey’s roots. He’s single, and attending college. Now let the surprises begin!” the editors wrote back in January. Well, surprise! — fans of the strip weren’t very happy with the change. The editors have decided to “bow to your letters” and return the strip to the previous set-up. Writing off the last few months as a dream, Peter Parker woke up today to find his wife, in a Dallas-style homage, getting ready to shower: Read the entire strip — and humorous commentary — over at The Comics Curmudgeon. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA - ha. Everyone, thank tetsuo_great for alerting me to this. :) Tags: char: mary jane watson, char: spider-man/peter parker, medium: newspaper comic (74 comments \| Leave a comment)
