More comic book idiocy..

[The Curmudgeon]

I remember an issue of Spider-Man where Spidey's original clone Kaine (who was AWESOME) fights Doctor Octopus and KILLS him. He leaves him lying in a pool of blood. End issue, my jaw on the floor.

A year or so later, and some bullshit story involving The Hand (bunch of ninjas, basically) resurrecting Doc Ock from the grave has Octopus come back to life, all of the previous ties and bonds he had with Parker in the last couple of years forgotten. The reset button had been pressed. Sucked.

Sounds stupid? That's a fucking writing masterclass compared to these..

That Batman story is probably the worst thing I've ever seen.

They already did the fucking Hand resurrection thing with Elektra, yo. Still beats ret-conning, though. Hate that shit. Didn't Aunt May have some retard reason for why she wasn't really dead? God, why can't they let a nuisance character who was elderly in the fucking 60's pass away? Alfred I can see giving the immortality treatment, but does anybody really think Spidey's stories would suck more if they went a few issues without him whining over whatever health problem that old bag has at the moment?

Ah yes, the famous "actress." God that was stupid. The death of Aunt May was beautifully written as well, with some superb art and... just really well done. And then to throw that away with some bullshit about a woman who, ugh, LOOKED like May. So wouldn't she have set off Peter's Spider Sense? What a crock of shit that entire thing was.
