Creativity starves insanity
As the second encore screening of Survivor: Palau hits the afternoon, it was a chance to re-watch The History of Wrestlemania I-IX DVD in an attempt to finally review it. Plans go asunder and instead a challenge is up for a round of comics to be polished off.
Still reeling over the shocking "redesign" over Venom, this managed to show what an insane villain he can be. Beyond that, there still isn't much of a revelation when Peter tells JJJ who Spider-Man is. Classic move really. With #9 and #10 already home, can't wait to drop this title. There is nothing keeping this a read.
Good chance to see another bit of the history to the Great Machine. Workers underground manage a grossing out level that was kind of the atmosphere in MK Spider-Man. Interesting to see what kind of problem the mayor's aide thinks the certain proposal should bring.
Doctor Strange is in this one. One of them. Nothing else happens beyond a sit down at a rather expensive restaurant between Parker and MJ. Enough to cost the free breadsticks.
Interestingly enough, the character that is supposed to hold this title appears for a few scenes and says nothing in any of them. Outside the whacking of the crooks, it doesn't feel like a title worth continuing. If the freaky character in this, the Marionette, had his own book, that could be something. He looks interesting and his motivations for his lot on the side of enticing.
Religious zealots are best dead. Gnarly flashbacks to previous battles bring about a chance to reflect on the personal severity of the situation at hand. The art continues to be amazing. Still getting used to the price of the comic. Would prefer if the pages weren't so shiny and the cover not as thick. Production values.
Messy enough art does a plausible job under the helpful colour palette for the characters. That and they aren't too hard to distinguish in a crowd scene of two. The story arc finally wraps up, achingly retreading a few plot points from the previous issues.
