Which is why lots of long-time comic book fans see this and roll their eyes. C'mon dude, you know that comic book fans aren't complaining on the Internet just because Doc Ock is now Spider-Man; it's because they've seen this movie 20,000 times and 19,990 times it has blown goats. If you follow history, despite any strong opening issues, the vast majority of these things start to suck rather quickly. So people can't exactly say, "Well, give it a chance!" without acknowledging that there isn't exactly a good track record for this type of thing.

I leaf throguh it on the stands. I still stand by my "I'm not buying Spider-Man post BND" pledge, but I occasionally look through the issues while I'm in the store. I'll say the same thing I always have, best BND, nothing's been done that's exactly blowing the doors off the hinges.

Was Spider Island that good?
