Even though this style of image has been done to death, here is an upcoming Spidey variant cover.

That's a better cover, though Quesada seems to have lost a lot of the quirky style that made him unique 10-20 years ago.

Agreed.
Comparing his recent stuff to his first major work, Batman: Sword of Azrael, Azrael wins hands down.

depends on what he's working on. back when he wasn't EIC and just the artist on daredevil, it was awesome. i think he's simply spread himself too thin (if that's possible... i mean, he's a big guy...)

fuck all of you.
Was I right, or was I right? Single deal-with-the-devil Spidey is much more relatable than married non-deal-with-the-devil Spidey.

I hadn't really thought about it until I saw a blog posting purporting to be an article on comicbookresources.com -- why the hell isn't Colbert pimping this on his show?

Colbert finally mentioned the comic, as well as a year's worth of Easter eggs, last night. How long has this issue been out? How readily available are an entire year's worth of back issues?

Plus, it seemed like the only reason he mentioned it at all was so he and Joe Q could sign it on-air and offer it to Obama if he came on the show, since a recent article said he was a Spider-Man fan. Were that not the case, I doubt Colbert would've ever brought it up.

Was this on a new episode? I thought it was repeats all week, since it was earlier in the week.
Shit. I can't think of a good signature.

i'm sure there are back-issues available, and they're also actively publishing a reprint compilation floppy comic for every three issues of BND.

But the reprint won't have the new Colbert cover he was hyping.

And, JJL, they were new on Wednesday and last night. I'm not sure why they did that. Normally if they take one day off for a holiday, they take the whole week.

No.

This is what sells comic books. And Marvel was too dumb to do it.

You don't remember teaming up with Gears to fight Megatron, either, do you? Man, that memory-erasing deal with the devil sucks worse the more I think about it.

Y'know, in all seriousness, the more I think of One More Day, the more it bugs me. Not so much the outcome, but the obviously shoddy planning behind it.

If this is a totally new reality, why isn't it reflected in every Marvel title?

So, no one remembers Spidey's identity? Even though whatever changed history happened on his wedding day? Was MJ going to marry him not knowing who he was? What about people who knew beforehand? Why is their memory gone?

Everyone supposedly has a fuzzy memory of Spidey revealing his identity publicly, but no one remembers it? Does no one find that odd?

How about characters who used heightened senses to learn his identity, like Wolverine or Daredevil? Won't they find it odd when they suddenly recognize Peter Parker as Spider-Man, and wonder why they never did before?

Venom... dude, what the hell? Eddie Brock joined the symbiote, which had Spidey's memories. So how does he not know? Why would Venom have been such a danger if not driven by the shared hatred of both Peter and Spidey? I guess Venom doesn't scare MJ anymore?

Just some really incredibly shitty planning overall. Not good for your flagship title.
