Oh Susan, you've said that so often now that it's lost all meaning.
Still, here we are at the penultimate part of ThE rEcKoNiNg!!!! (barring any epilogues, aftermaths, &c.) Seems like Slott is sorta re-doing Spider-verse. A family of super powerful villains hopes to obtain control of the centre of the multiverse in order to attain ultimate power.

From Fantastic Four #43 (Legacy #688). Remember how, all those years ago, characters like Gauntlet and Southpaw were meant to be central to THE RECKONING WAR (puttup)?
Well, now we find out just how they are!

So, for a while Johnny Storm kept a teenage Annihilus chained up in the apartment he shared with Peter Parker.

One panel from Fantastic Four #40 (legacy 680). All this Reckoning nonsense going on, but this is the one thing I took home from the issue:

The Amazing Spider-Man: Full Circle
Nov. 22nd, 2019 12:55 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

The idea started life as a suggestion for what to do for Marvel Comics #1000, but clearly we went a different way. But I still thought it was a fun idea. What Amazing Spider-Man Full Circle is then is a Round Robin. Which is to say, the writers were assigned in random order and their goal was to tell a wild and outrageous Spider-Man story—with nothing planned beforehand. Nobody knew who would be writing when, nor even exactly who else was a part of the story. So the goal in each case was to pick up the cliffhanger that the last writer left and then carry the story forward. The final chapter was group-written by everybody. -- Tom Brevoort

Well, it’s either a profoundly moving drama about an emotionally neglected woman trying to rebuild a relationship with her insecure mother…or it’s an ultraviolent interdimensional sci-fi action story in the company of two unstoppable kickass female bounty hunters. Or, y’know. Both. -- Si Spurrier

I quickly realized I was unconsciously trying to do something sly: telling a poignant story about a strained parent/child relationship but disguising it as my favorite sort of insane, anything-goes Eurocentric sci-fi. The two halves of that equation are quite neatly balanced within the idea that kicked it all off, which - I’m proud to say - bridges theme, character and setting. But, alas, I can’t say much about it, because it really is a doozy of a twist. -- Si Spurrier
