scans_dailyComicbookResources.com has the preview as Spidey takes his fight against the Sinister Six to new levels.
In the battle to save the planet, it's ...
... the Amazing Spider-man vs. Al Gore.
Wonder what Colbert will make of this?

You don't have to punch Al Gore in the face.

Date: 2012-03-30 08:06 pm (UTC)Nevermind the fact that if he actually does repair the ozone lair, he would have won. Spider-Man would have to life the rest of his life with the entire world celebrating his greatest foe as mankind's hero, building statues in his honor and probably blaming Peter for being responsible for Otto's death. That's a much better victory and legacy than yet another mustache-twirling doomsday threat.
So while the concept of the story doesn't seem too bad, the execution is puzzling and kind of makes Marvel look bad by insinuating climate-change denial (even if that's not the intention, it sure reads like it).
Complex real world issues vastly overstep the possibilities of what can realistically be accomplished in mainstream super-hero franchise comics, which is exactly why you keep "realism" out of them. You'd think Marvel would've learned that by now. The story breaks apart under the weight of it's on premise and all that's left is ridiculously simplistic nonsense where Al Gore gets punched in the face, "for Justice".
Still, that shocked reaction shot of Angie is absolutely priceless. Now there's something I thought I'd never see.

Date: 2012-03-30 09:54 pm (UTC)I just want to sit back and luxuriate that, for no good reason, Spider-man, PETER PARKER, just waltzed into the UN and punched Al Gore in the face.
That, my friends, is what comic books is all about.

Date: 2012-03-31 01:44 am (UTC)But nevermind that, I'll be enjoying the thought of Thor Odinson: Ace Attorney. Spidey will be needing a lawyer with a bigger hammer than the judge's after this.

Date: 2012-03-31 01:45 am (UTC)But given that this is Brand New Day, I'm not holding my breath.

Date: 2012-03-31 06:14 am (UTC)This is also the man who was once going to set off a nuke in Manhattan just to prove to everyone what a badass he is. (Same reason, more or less, that he was going to poison most of NYC.)
So while it'd be quite interesting if Ock's plan turned out to be beneficial for humanity as a whole, I also would find it terribly unlikely.
