Beauman vs Spider-Man
Jan. 18th, 2008 06:37 pmIt's got to be match to Ned Beauman with this wonderful slapdown of The Amazing Spiderman. He starts off with a critique of the comic industry's general approach to long running series before concluding:
In any given year, only a vanishingly small number of superhero comics are worth your time and money. The Amazing Spider-Man, even since its recent change of creators, is still not one of them, and Mephisto's not to blame: rather, the quality of the writing makes it, at best, Barely Adequate Spider-Man.
Ouch.
