I stopped buying ASM, and that's saying something. I'm just happy I'm not part of the problem. I like Ultimate Spidey, though, because it's the story Joe Q wants but didn't have retcon decades to get there.
What should frighten DC fans, is that their top-selling book is ALL STAR BATMAN & ROBIN THE BOY WONDER.
Some good work being done by many others at DC, and Frank Miller's crappy wankfest is their top seller? Arguably the worst title out there that doesn't involve Jeph Loeb or Rob Liefeld?
What will it take to get Miller to leave Batman alone? Anonymous letters of blackmail?

After FC I'm thinking about just retiring from mainstream stuff to read mini's that some of the better writers like to do once they gain enough creative freedom to do pet projects. Because it's a lot of effort to stay up on the big events, big-name characters, and continuity, and nearly as hard to follow 1-2 titles and not get sucked into the rest of it at some point. And there's lots better quality in the minis, if you find the right ones. Even the better weekly/monthly writers can only do so much without having to pander to the larger picture of their company.
Lulz.
"That's it, I'm quitting Spider-Man. Joe Quesada sucks" Yeah .. right.
Another demonstration that most of the readers still read the books no matter how hard Joe f*cks them up And judging from the quality of the books in top 15 .. (Ultimates and such being that high .. wtf ?).

Well I'm still reading it ... even though I hate what happened during OMD and I seem to hate what's happening post OMD even more so.
As of now Spidey can't keep up with a non powered parkour(ist?) and can't even beat Vermin, who was already injured before the fight. His new villain "Freak" is a pile of sh!t, Menace is a Goblin rip-off, Jackpot is worthless and there's now a female Kraven.
We need Spidey to find another demon to make a deal with to get things back on track ... I think Loki still owes him a favour.
You re right Loki owes him a favour. I didnt read any ASM after the OND stunt. Why should I? First the hole plt was stupid and second 5 years later they will retcon it again. This time he makes a deal with Galactus so his aunt can live forever
Gender: Male Location: Hiding from The Doctor, shhhh.....
This is why I dropped Marvel. The only Marvel books I'm even trying to keep up on are Iron Fist and Thor. I haven't touched anything else marvel in a few months.

But did Secret Invasion really happen? I dont know. I mean Spiderman is in SI but is this post OMD Spidey or not? If not who is he? A clone?
A skrull? I dont know what to believe, someone help me..may be I just need :
What about Captain America? Or Incredible Herc or X-factor or both Avengers titles? They're all really good at the moment, heck even Secret Invasion at it's lowest points has still been a reasonably enjoyable read in addition to the two titles you mentioned
