This is how I'd feel if this were going to last, but I think we all know better.

My comment wasn't meant as a slight to anyone, it was more just to back up that I am well aware that this is a MAJOR character and who that MAJOR character is/was.

Everyone is welcome to their opinion I shared mine and was thrashed for it immediately. Apparently I can't have mine.

I disagree that the majority dislikes the story as well. From the people I've heard from it has been more down the middle, and that is an observation not an opinion.

Part of the rejection of this storyline is just because he is/was/? a major character, exactly. This killing of characters to drum up interest/sales is becoming realyl stale and the really good writers come up with other ways to do so, like write good stories. I'll reiterate that it's hackneyed and not executed well.

You were thrashed and the guy who did so apologized. It's more than you normally get when having discussions on the internet ;)

My observation that it's disliked more than like is from general sources, not just the comic community. The casual reader seems to be more upset about it than the 'comic guy'. I suppose its because they're not used to or jaded by the continual rehashing of death and return of characters and see it as "The End" of Parker, whos personality is the character. Heck, even Dan Slott said he was going into hiding after this came out because he knew it'd be panned. Replacing him with an Ock is like making ice cream with vodka instead of cream, it's not even close to the same thing.

Regardless, it's only a book and it's nothing to get bent out of shape over.

That being said... Sometimes you're in the mood for vodka!

rofl! touche!
