You'll be waiting a while! They're not even to issue 200, yet.

^ Yeah, why have they been so pokey with some heroes, like Thor and Namor?

No movies. Thor'll probably pick up over the next year.

To me, Frenz' best inkers were Brett Breeding (ASM, the Puma episodes were breathtaking + his earliest Thor issues) and Sal Buscema (Spider-Girl).

I bought the whole De Falco / Frenz run on Thor + Thunderstrike a coupla months ago for a mere 90 bucks on mycomicshop.com

One thing I regret is they had some character concept sketches on vellum that Frenz did during his run on Thor for sale shortly after i first found that site, and I was tempted to buy a couple of them but they sold before I decided to go for it.

Since I'm boycotting all Spider-titles since OMD/BND started, I have one question: Did Mephisto change anything other than the marriage not taking place and everyone forgetting Peter is Spider-Man?

Trying to get this thread back on subject, I wish they had never done Demogoblin.

1. Wedding day happened but the actual wedding didn't: Spidey had a run-in with a criminal that prevented him from being there on time, hence he never showed up while every other guest did.

2. Mephisto isn't responsible for having everybody forget Spidey was Peter: an astral meeting between Stephen Strange, Reed Richards and Tony Stark is (see OMIT story arc)

3. I still collect ASM (I own the whole run) but hated OMD and OMIT (not BND which was cool). Unmarrying them was outrageously stupid. Plus, since Peter & MJ retrospectively break up after the non-marriage how can we believe it never changed anything when Peter & MJ had a honeymoon and were seen together (obviously) after their marriage in hundreds of Spidey titles??!!

4. Demogoblin was a harmless Marvel creation during Infinity War. He's as good as forgotten.

Those Infinity crossovers really blew.  The first one started out alright, and had spectacular Perez art, but everything fell apart pretty fast.  I think they should have retired Thanos and Warlock after all that mess.

It bugs me that my brain remembers this, but Spider-Man's evil duplicate (a Venom-like, brainless monster that they called "Doppleganger") managed to stick around for a while after the Infinity War.

Demogoblin came about after Jack O'Lantern-turned-Hobgoblin Jason Macendale made a pact with Nastirh for more power during Inferno.  Short explanation is that his body rejected his demon side eventually, resulting in a "regular" Hobgoblin and an all-demonic one, aka Demogoblin.  Demogoblin was killed while rescuing some children when a building collapsed on him in a story that was intended to make Hobgoblin an A-lister again.

Unmarrying them was outrageously stupid.

It was a stroke of rational genius compared to marrying them in the first place.

Peter Parker, the quintissential nerd who can't get a date, growing up to marry Mary Jane Watson, a free spirited super model who never wanted to be tied down.

Yeah, how in the world could those two NOT end up hitched?

"Growth and change! Growth and change! Growth and change--"

Blech.
