As we move into BIG TIME, and the ongoing new ASM team of Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos/Stefano Casselli, it’s sometimes crazy to try to imagine just how many different creative teams there were in the short amount of time of the Brand New Day-era of Spider-Man. Spidey has had some great creative teams in […]
Maybe it’s the price of comics? Or perhaps the craptastic quality assurance efforts that pass for editing these days? Maybe it’s the repeated absenteeism of The Associate Who Must Not Be Named?

Aron saw The Last Exorcism Green Arrow […]
New Ways to Die was the first huge event of the Brand New Day saga, back in 2008. The six-issue Spider-Man story arc written by Dan Slott with art by John Romita, Jr. first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #568-#573.
