REVIEW: The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #39
Or – “With Great Power Comes Great Temporal Instability…”
Recently, store manager Deon purchased a large lot of Spider-Man comics, including a complete run of Annuals from #1 to #21. (Gatekeeper Hobbies, Huntoon & Gage, Topeka! Ask me about Spider-Man’s parents!) Marvel has once again taken up the habit of delivering double-sized Annual issues, and now it’s Pete Parker’s turn in the spotlight!
TRAILER: New television spot for The Amazing Spider-Man arrives
If you watch television, you have probably already seen the new trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man. For the rest of us, who have drifted away from the networks, the Internet offers up that trailer.
VIDEO: Disassembled
I laughed, and laughed, and laughed, and I bet you will too, as we get a very different take on the Marvel Universe.
REVIEW: The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man Ride (Islands of Adventure Orlando)
Take a simulator ride, a 3-D movie (the good kind), and a roller coaster. Mash them together, and what do you get? The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man ride, a staple of Universal Studios: Islands of Adventure’s “Marvel Super Hero Island” area.

TRAILER: Watch the new trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man
The Amazing Spider-Man does look to have a lot of wall-crawling and web-slinging action in it, but the new trailer seems to indicate a lot of Peter Parker character development is going to happen as well.
Major Spoilers Question Of The Day: Deadly Foes Edition
As a child of the 1970′s, I freely admit that my comic book opinions are skewed by the Me Decade. I dig Mike Grell’s Legion, John Romita’s Spider-Man, and Dick Dillin’s JLA. I know that ROM and the Micronauts are firmly and forever part of the Marvel Universe, licensing restrictions be damned. I even own a large collection of Treasury-sized editions (comics more giant than Giant-Size), including the wonderful “Superman Vs. The Amazing Spider-Man,” one of the earliest stories I ever read featuring either character. In part because of this issue, I have always equated Doctor Octopus as being Spider-Man’s most cunning and powerful foe, which gets me into arguments with Green Goblin fans whenever I mention it.
The MS-QOTD (pronounced “Roe-Mee-Tah”) is this: Who is really Spider-Man’s greatest enemy? Is it Green Goblin? Doc Ock? Vulture? Hypno-Hustler?

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!
Major Spoilers Question Of The Day: Remedial Chaos Theory Edition
This week, Marvel Comics announced that the “Spider-Men” teaser promotions were, in fact, exactly what it said on the tin: The first (direct) meeting between Marvel and Ultimate Marvel. As the proud owner of “Superman Vs. Muhammad Ali” and the sublime goofiness of “Archie Meets The Punisher”, what impressed me most was not news of the crossover, but the fact that Marvel was able to hold off for more than 10 years before doing it, a rare display of restraint for a comic publisher.
The MS-QOTD (pronounced “misquoted”) for today is this: How big a deal IS this crossover?
