“Good story, nice way to go about making a big change. Some really solid Spider-Man stuff in there.
You know one of my top pet peeves in comics, something that goes down in this book? When they reprint an entire fake newspaper or magazine page within the comic. This might make me sound like a total shit, but I came to read comics, not magazines, and especially not a magazine that’s 100% fictional.
There’s something weirdly OCD about me where I feel like I have to read every word on the page. It’s gotten better over time, really. This was a big problem when I was young, though, because comics will do something like throw a guy out of a plane and have something like this going down the page:
No
no
no
no
no
no
no
no
no
no
you get the idea. And as a kid, I would read every single one of those No’s. Why? Honestly, because I was insane? I don’t actually have an honest answer for that. It just felt like something unfinished if I didn’t read it.
As a minor psychological breakthrough, I did manage to skim the fake magazine pages in House of M. So congratulations to me and I hope that nobody put too much effort into them.”
