Amazing Spider-man 603,

[rzerox21xx.insanejournal.com]

Wow, Is Marvel trying hard to make us not miss or like Mj because this is the most ugliest Mj I ever scene. I hope this is a zombie variant because it sure does look like one. I guess this too suffer from inconsistent art, well Michelle looks like Eliza Maza here.

That is a REALLY ugly cover.

[rbenchley.insanejournal.com]

That's not MJ, that's Alfred E. Neuman in drag.

[batcookies.insanejournal.com]

Ugh.

[punishermax.insanejournal.com]

It could, you know, just be a bad cover. I mean thecover of MJ in issue 602 was really stunning, every character can look bad with a bad artist.

And before anyone flips on Pete making out with his roommate, that's not Pete, that's Chameleon.

[arilou_skiff.insanejournal.com]

Pretty ugly cover, but the conspiracy nuts really start to get on my nerves here.

[colonel_green.insanejournal.com]

The "make up your mind" bit was funny (but then, VL can always be counted on for good lines).

[thandrak.insanejournal.com]

Ann Coulter?

Sorry if this sounds snarky but...

[steverodgers5.insanejournal.com]

Is there any point posting the full preview here? When it was already up at Newsarama?..I mean if you just wanted to bitch about the depiction of MJ on the front, why not just post the cover?

And that way maybe if anything interesting actually happens in the rest of the issue you could post some later pages from it when it comes out...

[kingrockwell]

That cover's just embarrassing, and not made any better by the dress appearing to be shear.
I do think it's a little funny that Chameleon's only been in Pete's life for a few hours, knows everything about it except for the Spidey bit, and agrees with us outright about how fucking pathetic it is.

[zechs27.insanejournal.com]

Dear God.. Chameleon knows Peter's real power. The women love him!

GOD HELP US ALL!

[rzerox21xx.insanejournal.com]

I put this because I wanted to see what people here think and the comments are pretty funny to read and saying that Marvel is trying their hard to make us not miss Mj was just a joke. I figure snice this is mostly anti-bnd, it's okay to post and joke about this. Should just put the cover, maybe but I figure the whole Michelle thing would be interesting to post too.


I figure it harmless fun to make fun of this direction, same reason we post Rob liefled or greg land art. I can't help but cracked up with the comments screaming LLAAAANND or LIIFEELD. Or other stories whether is fail or not.

1972 called, it wants it's dress back.

"Oh...Peter...This is bad. ...This is soooo baaad..."

You know, I couldn't agree more.

[box_in_the_box.insanejournal.com]

And once again, Michelle is reduced to the level of a plot-device cipher.

REALLY, Waid? REALLY? Peter says some incredibly insensitive things to her, and she's so spitting-nails angry that she's kicking him out, and all he has to do is SMOOCH on her, and she's ready GIVE HER PUSSY UP TO HIM ON THE KITCHEN FLOOR?

I GUESS SHE WAS ONLY A BITCH BECAUSE SHE NEEDED A GOOD STIFF ONE, AMIRITE???

The misogyny inherent in this portrayal makes me want to take a SHOWER.

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

Ugh. That dress. Somewhere a motel room is missing a curtain...

[neuhallidae.insanejournal.com]

Leaving off how godawful MJ's face looks on that cover (that would be way too long a rant), my major bitch about it is how that dress couldn't possibly look less like fabric draped over a body if the colorist tried. The vague and ineffectual attempt at making the pattern follow the folds of the sleeves just makes the central figure look flatter, and it's driving me up the damn wall. It doesn't even manage a 60's block print look, because there's just enough difference in the sleeves to be clear that wasn't what they were going for. Ugh.

[midnightvoyager.insanejournal.com]

GodDAMNIT. And I had JUST got over my stomach nausea....

[sir_razorback.insanejournal.com]

Ok, they're going for a 60's/70's retro look with that outfit. Speaking as someone who's not really old enough to remember the era, how likely would it have ben to find a dress like that on a rack somewhere?

[runespoor7.insanejournal.com]

"Other people, well... they're just part of the background."

Onscreen, live fridging. Awesome.

And that's without even counting the shut-up-woman kiss, and the fact that he's impersonating the person she'd agree to have sex with, so it's rape.

[sandoz_iscariot.insanejournal.com]

Ah, rape. That's exactly the kind of fresh, bold new material that the Spider-Man books needed!

[darkknightjrk.insanejournal.com]

Uh...what's the point in padlocking the fridge?

[fungo_squiggly.insanejournal.com]

And so when Peter comes back and (of course!) doesn't understand why Michelle is acting differently towards him, he manages to infuriate her once again and ends up getting kicked out for real.

"Hilarity" ensues!

[colonel_green.insanejournal.com]

The first time I ever saw anything with Chameleon in it was his first appearance in the 90s Spider-Man animated show, where he comicly messed up Peter's attempts to woo MJ; nice to see the tradition of making a mess of Peter's love life continues.
