It's wild to see this studio, who seemingly could do no wrong, stumble face-first to try and learn the lesson that was formative to their initial success.

The one where ______ dies.
Yeah, you'll want to hear @chasingasmblog.bsky.social and my thoughts about this. Tune in to the latest episode of the Amazing Spider-Talk podcast!
My favorite!
DEATH SPIRAL continues to live up to its name, with gory character deaths and a series of symbiotic and serial killings that find Peter, MJ, and Eddie caught in the middle.
Watch @chasingasmblog.bsky.social and my review of Parts 3 & 4 on this week's podcast!

Thanks for the congrats!
We will have a dead audience for 500!
The thing I’d hated to see go is the level/scenario design, which is what I think the modern Zeldas so deeply lack and what OoT mastered and ultimately inspired so many other games.
But, even as someone who loves the older Zelda model and thinks OoT is a masterpiece, I think we can all admit that Hyrule Field is mostly empty or full of things that can just be ignored on its southern side.
As someone who greatly dislikes BotW and TotK from a design perspective, I would be happy with this. I would like it to have more gating, retain the thrilling story, make weapon acquisition progressive rather than hand you all the tools at the start, and, hopefully, retain the handcrafted feel.
HOLY COW!
Marvel announces that in the world-shattering Amazing Spider-Man #1000, Peter and his friends will be sent back to high school, with Paul recast as a jock who makes Peter's life a living hell! Plus, MJ will suit up as Spider-Girl to fight villains with Spidey!

Shhhh.... we quietly dropped the 500th episode of the Amazing Spider-Talk this week with our review of Ultimate Spider-Man.
But don't worry! @chasingasmblog.bsky.social and I will properly celebrate the milestone once our real lives quiet down for a moment!
The best feeling ever is when you go to a new dentist only to have them tell you the opposite, that the dentist you were going to before was just a corporate dentist who wanted to charge you for shit you don’t need.
Furthermore, his Peter Parker is instead, "Someone who justifies using power without responsibility, violence as a means to an end, a moral obligation to engage in arms races, and naivety as a virtue."
If you are interested in why I feel this way, whether or not you agree, tune in to the episode!
In the episode, I stake my claim that: "By the finale of USM, Jonathan Hickman makes his final statement on his Peter Parker, and it's that he's a morally bankrupt, anti-(small D) democratic character who rejects everything that makes Spider-Man a hero."
Big release today, the AMAZING SPIDER-TALK review of the ending of ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN, which... seems likely to stand out from other interpretations and reactions to the title. (Read on for a tease)

Not sure if it counts, but, to me, DARK REIGN is the peak of the modern Marvel era, and all the titles were lifted by that exciting status quo shift. But, outside of that, my favorites were: House of M, Civil War, Spider-Island, Secret Wars, Secret Empire, King in Black, Annihilation and Conquest.
Not yet.
Watch a new discussion between @chasingasmblog.bsky.social and me, two Spider-Man fans, collectors, historians, and critics, as we discuss our thoughts and excitement for SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY after the new trailer! youtu.be/4IuK_cwBhsY
I think there are more of us out there than social media suggests. I wanted to like it, love it even, but I just cannot see what others are seeing. And, I haven’t seen someone make a counter-case for the book that has given me any insight into what they are seeing that I’m not. But, I’m open to it.
And, tonight(!), @chasingasmblog.bsky.social lay down our final judgement on the latest iteration of ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN, and it's one you won't want to miss! It'll be available on Patreon tomorrow!

Out Now: An examination of our current desire to see fictional people as real and see conflict within story as harmful, and why that's a bad thing.
Or why it's okay for the Green Goblin to teach Spider-Gwen how to fight some future threat.
