i'm currently reading amazing spider-man, just about to start issue 624. is there anybody else that is reading this series? i thought that from the 'brand new day' arc up to now has been pretty fun. i do get bogged down in my reading, considering it comes out 2-3 times a month. not enough time to read so i'm still like 3 months behind.
if anybody else is reading asm, i'd love to hear your thoughts about the restructure of spidey's life, villains, ships, etc.

I don't read the series (I have no money) but I have seen a lot of the ASP cartoon, and I have kept up with the differences between the animated version and the comic (even though I haven't read the comic). I was going to start collecting the comics eventually. But you said you're on issue 624. How many issues are there exactly?

well, i think that tehyre on issue 635 by now. i don't have my stack in front of me. spider-man used to have way too many titles: "amazing spider-man, spectacular spider-man, sensational spider-man, peter parker: spider-man, spider-man, and web of spider-man.
as a fan, too many titles made it harder for me to focus on one solid plot for the wall crawler. so what marvel did was "end" a quite a few of those titles and used the writers/artists to work on arcs for "the amazing spider-man."
when i heard about this, i wanted to start following spidey again. so i picked up this last arc (spread between 3 or 4 titles) called "one more day."
in this arc, peter & mary jane make a decision to save aunt may's life (from an assassination attempt meant for peter (thanks to the civil war). essentially they make a deal with mephisto (the devil), to basically write mj out of peters life.
as a consequence, peter and mj are a set if failed lovers and she moves out to hollywood. but pete's good old pal harry osbourne is alive and kicking!
the stories seem to be a lot more fun then some of the older issues i've picked up here and there. but i think it's worth the read.

I'm a huge Amazing Spider-Man fan. The ending of #635 was so brutal. Not to mention, Spidey will definitely be getting wrapped up in Shadowland soon. Rough times ahead for Petey.
