Most weeks I don't really care if Peter Parker lives or dies. The character has no real interest to me, and the only title I've ever liked him in was MC2's Spider-Girl, and he wasn't completely awful in various team books.

However, how great was Spider-Men #2? Okay, maybe a little too much punching, but it was so much fun, and I love Peter's hypothetical question, and everything with Nick. Also MILES! I <3 U FOREVER, Miles!

I also watched The Amazing Spider-Man, which I liked about 200% more than either Spider-Man which I found rather dull, and Spider-Man 2 which was an absolute disaster.

Spoilers for things I liked and things I didn't )

Other comics: I'm completely gripped by the latest Daredevil. Like, I know he's probably going to be fine, but OH NOES! Matt! -clings-

Captain America and Iron Man: as I said over at [livejournal.com profile] cap_ironman, I really liked it. I liked the art, even though Tony's eyes fluctuated between brown and blue (I think they were supposed to be blue, and there was a colouring error on a couple of pages). I thought their relationship was more or less what I want it to be with Tony being joking and smart with an underpinning of angsty, and perhaps relying too much on his tech. Steve having some problems with the way Tony operates but still trusting him absolutely and admitting to his own flaws. There was a lot of mutual admiration, fond jibes and a decent fight scene. I'm also Very Concerned about Tony. Steve had better save him post haste.

Batwoman is confusing the hell out of me, right now. I wish they'd just put the story in order. It would probably read better in trade, but in flopy I don't know what's going on, and I have no investment in any of it. I'm really looking forward to #13 though. Just look at that cover! Also read what Williams is saying about the art.

Ghost was good, but probably not worth picking up Darkhorse Presents for, especially as I think it's getting its own run later.

I'm behind on everything else I think.

But yay! Spider-Man!
