I break radio silence to bring you very sad news for all those who love comics and superheroes. They. Have. Killed. Spiderman. I'm not kidding and I'm not trolling, it's true. The JERKS at Marvel have managed to find something worse to do than DC's new 52 universe and have completely screwed up Marvel's most memorable character, with Doc Oc now living in Peter's body while Peter died in Doc Oc's. Thank goodness I am not a big Spidey fan because I am furious enough as it is. Why is it that comics feel the need to keep doing this? Why do they need more, more, more sales? Why not instead of screwing up loved characters and stories make something new? You know, actually damn well think of a new hero, let Spidey gracefully retire, perhaps with Mary Jane. Man if you have to break his legs so that he can't web crawl again but make him happy. Or give him a hero's death. Soemthing real, meaningful and very moving which represents the perhaps unrealistic but hopefilled and inspiring sheer goodness of heroes like Spidey. But no, they have to mess it all up. So angry, so fed up, so sad.
