Wow apparently when this last arc of Amazing Spiderman is finished, Spectacular, and Friendly are being cancelled so that Amazing will come out weekly. Seems marvels going the 52/Countdown approach with Spiderman.
No. Friendly and Sensational are being "cancelled".
All it really means is that now you have to buy all three Spider-man issues every month to keep up with the story. It isn't a be deal for Spidy-fans... but it kind of sucks for the casual comic reader. I guess it will be like how major story arcs cross between the different Spider-man titles, only now each one has is Amazing Spider-man... not a very big change IMO.

How much of the market belongs to casually readers who randomly pick up a Spider-man issue at their local convenient story, anyway? Chances are pretty good that if you are reading one Spider-man title a month, you are reading at least two others.

See the difference with DC is that it has a set limit has the major points of the whole series plotted out. And it doesn't focus on just one character for the whole tale.

I already read Friendly, Sensational and Amazing so it won't really matter.
As for the quality of the comics, they might split it up so the team from Sensational take the first week, Friendly the second week, and Amazing the third week, so that each team gets one month (this is if three issues a month thing is true) to make the next comic.
"Hey, this week is [insert good writers name]'s turn to write Amazing Spider-Man! We can expect really good issue today!"
"Yeah, but straight after that [insert bad writer's name] is going to write it, so he's going to screw up everything.
"What about [insert sub-par writers name], isn't he going to fix some mistakes that guy did?"
"Dude, [insert bad writers name], is so abysmal, that it's going to take more then one writer to fix them. And since [insert good writers name] has to fix his mistakes during the next issue, he doesn't have time to fix his own plot points, and [insert bad writers name] is just going to make everything worse again."
I think it would be funny. The three writers could go around like...uh, the Three Stooges and bicker with eachother over what would happen in next Spidey. So ever comic would still kinda follow at the same storyline but still be different.
It would be like one of those turn-based fanfics on the internet.
Issue #1: Spider-Man finds out that his Aunt May dies in the Hospital...he is going to find out and KILL those responsible of her death...
Issue #2: BUT THEN IT IS FOUND OUT THAT AUNT MAY WAS JUST A CLONE!
Issue #3: What? I mean...uhh...it was a clever ploy from...Norman...Osborn...
Issue #4: *GodDAMNIT Fred, what the F*CK did I say about clones!? And I thought we agreed to NOT to use that FREAKING GOBLIN in any stories again?* Err, yeah, anyway...turns out that the...*sigh*...clone...was actually an alternate version of Aunt May from...somewhere else, and...
Issue #5: In fact, it is found out that it was the CLONE of an alternate May from alternate Universe, and Spider-Man's Aunt May has been from Earth 661 all along!!!!!! In fact, Aunt May is actually an alternate NORMAN OSBORN who had an sex-change operation!! And he/she MURDERS and EATS MARY JANE!!
Issue #6: I think this guy isn't alright.
Issue #7: Okay, that's it. I quit.
Joe Quesada: "THIS IS, LIKE, THE GREATEST STUFF EVER!"
I don't know about you but I would much rather read three parts of the same story in chronological order each month than one part of three different stories each month and not know what is happening when.
Not to mention that decompression will be much less noticeable.
Dude chill. Not only has nothing happened yet you've made some very wrong assumtions.
Unless your Layla Miller don't know how this stuff is going to turn out. At least wait till you read it before passing judgment okay?
Hate to say it but when you assume you just make and ass out of u and me.
Here is what we know.
They have three teams of writers/artists. We don't know who they are yet so lets hope for the best.
For each story arc they will use one of the three teams. So no story started by team A and then ended by team B.
While one team's story is being published the other teams will work on their stories. This will help avoid lateness.
Also all the teams are under the supervision of a single editor who will make sure that every team knows what every other team is doing and keep the ongoing plots running smoothly.
They are trying to do this right. They may fail or they may not.
But before we scream in outrage at what might happen,I sugest we read the first few issues and then decide.
And the next time get all your information before you rant. I love a good rant but you were complaining about somthing that was confirmed to be false when this information was made public.
It would be like somone posting a rant today about how out of character Electra has been acting and saying that it can't really be her.
