Just finished Ss1 and yeah, if ASM 701 hasn't started within a year then I'll be "amazed", ffs they even set the premise for his return in this issue.

 

This and the Dying Wish arc is a perfect reminder as to why Superheroe comics are mess (Hawkguy excepted)

 

You think its that bad?

Unfortunately I do.

 

The inner monologue of Spidey is laughable and repetitive, his tortured angst is contrived and convoluted - YES WE KNOW HIS LOYALTIES / PRIORITIES ARE DIVIDED - STOP RAMMING IT DOWN OUR THROATS EVERY TWO MINUTES - WE GET IT !!

 

However, songsaboutclouds got it spot on earlier in the thread, it's a MARVELlous marketing ploy. 250k copies for Issue 700 - wow!!

 

I was especially disappointed, as the Dying Wish arc was the first time I had read a Spider-Man book in ten years, and I was hoping it would reinvigorate my love of Spidey, alas it has done the

exact opposite.

 

Sorry to be a mess

So what's the deal with baby variant. My LCS didn't get any in (or, more accurately didn't have any). Midtown's sold out and it looks like they're going for $7-$12 on eBay at the moment.

 

Is this an incentive variant? Sold in select stores? Kind of odd that this one is the hottest of the covers (though I think the McGuinness one is going to rise pretty steadily).

 

It's a type of incentive variant.

You had to order more copies of a recent comic (Avengers Vs X-Men #11 If I remember correctly).

So if you ordered 50 AVX #11 you had to order 51 copies of SS #1 then you could order as many Baby variants as you wanted.

So it doesn't equate to a 1:10, 1:50.

some shops could order, others couldn't

 

+1

 

Yeah I figured my LCS won't have the baby variants so pre ordered most of them on ebay! (thumbs u

 

it was tough ordering.

AVX #11 was our highest ordered book for that month.

We knew PP wouldn't be in Superior #1 and there may be a backlash from fans.

We ordered more anyway, sold out on today of everything!

 

There will be shops that took the other option & ordered light & didn't qualify.

Larry perhaps (shrug)

i think they can milk it for quite some time....at least a year.

 

Since Marvel's trying to make all their books bi-weekly that'd put it, give or take, at ASM 725.

 

Sounds about right.

It's the only reason I'm getting this book,because they will go back to ASM.Keeping a run complete sucks sometimes. :pullhair:

Anyone else getting that '90s deja-vu feeling?

That Ditko variant, whist paying homage to Spidey, is going to be a new comic reader killer.

Whoever the poor saps are paying 1k for it are going to be in tears when they can't get $150 for it in 18 months time (if that).

I hope no-one here gets caught with it!

it's not the same as the 90s, simply because people have a much greater avenue for selling their comics than they did 20 years ago. And they can sell them quicker.

 

You don't have to set up a table or beg a LCS owner to buy your at a heavy discount.

Fair point K, I should have been more specific and state 'the start of the 90's bust'.

I was just refering to the ridiculous amount of variants that the big 3 are putting out currently.

Hasn't one comic got 53 different covers or something??

Thats insane - surely you must agree with that?

I really don't want to buy any variants but I couldn't help myself. I got a McGuiness variant, a Blank, and a Young(baby) cover today. I skipped the regular cover.

BTW, my LCS had plenty of the 'regular' 700 variants back in stock. I didn't buy any. The thicker book caused plenty of bindery problems, especially on the corners. They just were not in good shape.

An interesting article I just read at comicbook.com about Superior Spider-man and Amazing Spider-man Comics, the secret letter at the back of the book and what the future may hold for the character.

 

"Superior Spider-Man #1, which was released in comic book stores today, has a secret letter column. Fans can watch the secret letter column by downloading the Marvel Augmented Reality App and pointing their phone’s camera at the last page of the Superior Spider-Man #1.

 

The Superior Spider-Man #1 secret letter column is actually a video featuring Superior Spider-Man editors Steve Wacker and Ellie Pyle, as wells as Superior Spider-Man writer Dan Slott. In the first letter, Anthony DeRiso writes that he hopes Amazing Spider-Man will be started up again so he can start buying it again. Slott replies, “Well, thanks for writing in Anthony. We’ll see you in a few years.”

 

Editor Steve Wacker then points out that the letter writer is assuming that Amazing is coming back, but Slott yells, “No, no, Amazing Spider-Man is dead, dead…Anthony.”

 

In the second letter, Mridul Sharma is also upset over what has transpired with Spider-Man. In answering the letter, Slott says, “Peter Parker is not gone. His spirit lives on.” Check out all the letters in the video below."

So....um.....yeah....hmmm...this happened today.

 

"....And speaking of tricks: In a separate video, Slott addresses the red herring he "accidentally" tweeted back in October, which suggested that Miguel O'Hara — Spider-Man 2099 — was the new Superior Spider-Man. The writer — who wrote Spider-Man 2099 in the 2010 video game Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions — apologized to fans of the character who got their hopes up, and stated, "This is not a trick. This is not a prank. You will see Miguel O'Hara in Superior Spider-Man.""
