In addition to talking Amazing Spider-Man over at SuperiorSpiderTalk.com these days, I’m also reviewing the new Carnage series by Gerry Conway and Mike Perkins. Check out the review of the book’s latest issue and then do yourself a favor and read the book for yourself!

Spider-Woman #7 is a great example of how it’s easy to forgive a comic for moments of mediocrity when it’s been otherwise consistently delivering a riveting action-packed, character-driven story alongside stunning visuals that match the mood and vibe of the narrative perfectly. In other words, I’m politely saying that

Readers looking to fill the void  of the recently-cancelled, smartly funny, character-centric Superior Foes of Spider-Man should look no further than what Dennis Hopeless and Javier Rodriguez are putting forward with Spider-Woman. I haven’t touched upon Spider-Woman on Chasing Amazing since the third issue – one that was mainly filled with recycled

I wonder if this post will suffice as some semblance of an apology/mea culpa from me to Peter David. For those who don’t know what I’m talking about, around the time Spider-Man 2099 #9 came out, I voiced some frustrations with the fact that David’s initial narrative/plot from the

Going back to one of the very first installments of “Spider-Verse” (which, believe it or not, took place in August), the character of Karn – an Inheritor who appeared to be the black sheep of this totem-hunting family – struck me as someone who would likely be a key

Let me pose a philosophical question for you: if Spider-Woman #3 was published and no one read it, would it make any difference on the larger narrative for “Spider-Verse?” Yes boys and girls, cranky Mark is back with another installment of “bemoaning the last three months of my life

Since kicking off in November, the Scarlet Spiders miniseries has probably been the most integral to “Spider-Verse’s” larger narrative other than Amazing Spider-Man (though, based on the last two issues, claiming ASM has been integral to anything is debateable). So it didn’t surprise me that in its third and
